Reflecting Pool

Inverse Reflecting Pool Idea

When/If an inverse Reflecting Pool? Ala can only make mana of basics you don't control

If. It supports splashing a little more than I think we want.

Treasure's Color Fixing

Hello Mark, is the fact that treasures do extra color fixing a design choice or inertia from the gold token and ixalan design? Do you think it would have been better for the main Mana production token to use reflecting pool wording so it doesn't fix greedy color decks?

Treasure is supposed to fix colors, but that also means that only two colors are supposed to be good at making it, red and green.

Giant Fan and Reflecting Pool Compatibility

Couldn't you make Giant Fan work in black border the same way Reflecting Pool does, "if an ability of the second permanent could produce any type of counter"?

Producing a type of counter is more complex than producing a color of mana.

Reflecting Pool Query

Why didn't Reflecting Pool make it into the Expedition series, and does it bother you as much as it bothers me?

I don’t know and clearly it does not.

Notable Tournament Appearance

FYI: Maro's most notable tournament appearance was in Five-Color Green, a precursor to Zoo that used the most efficient creatures and removal spells of every color, supported by Gemstone Mine and Reflecting Pool. Maro was the top of the curve due to its synergy with Quirion Ranger. It also saw some play in G/W Armageddon decks after Ernham Djinn rotated.

Vivid Lands Reflecting Pool

Is having Vivid Lands and Reflecting Pool in the same format considered a mistake?

Yes.

Silver Border Mechanics

Giant Fan's “turns into the type mentioned in the rules text” sounds just like Reflecting Pool's ability, which has been present in the game for a long time. Perhaps it is possible to print this ability using Reflecting Pool terminology?

The reason Giant Fan became silver border in the first place was it didn’t work in black border. I asked recently if rules technology has improved to be able to do it now. I was told no.
