Shivan Reef

Land Reprints Universes Beyond

Could a land with a name that references an MTG location be reprinted in a Universes Beyond product? For example: Shivan Reef.

Mostly no, but there might be exceptions where the name uses generic words even though it’s technically a name.

Colorless Costs Complexity

Is colorless costs something R&D would feel comfortable doing in a small amount and using the Shivan Reef's of the set fill the colorless mana role, or are Wastes a necessity forcing the mechanical investment higher?

Colorless mana in costs requires more support than you might think at first blush. It’s also not particularly interesting design space.

Flavor of Colorless Lands

Can you please quickly make another basic land that produces colorless? I understand "wastes" isn't the basic land type for colorless (Thank You!), but until we get a different colorless basic land I'm still going to struggle with the flavor if things like Alchemist's Refuge, Griffin Canyon, and Shivan Reef produce the equivalent of "Wastes".

The flavor is that there are many different reasons mana might be colorless. The Eldrazi strip color out of mana, but that’s just one way it occurs.
