Its hilarious, because if you play this and then I play my copy of the same land, I'm pretty sure the game won't know what it can do.
I don't think this card would lead to great gameplay, as it just gets worse for you as the game goes on. It probably should only count lands you control for the last effect, so you can at least plan your deck around what colors of mana it can generate and doesn't randomly get neutered by your opponent playing a Vivid Marsh or something.
It resembles a card that was notioning to have a more immediate impact on the flow of cards, allowing the game to remain vitalized and exciting.
The percentile clench represented of being able to access needed mana on an ongoing basis is obviously ridiculously low, preventing this card from reaching its potential.
If you need proof, just consider the following estimations:
4 x 7 = 28
60/7 = 8 (just approximating)
8/28 = .28, making for 28% percentile clench, much lower than the desired 255%
I just want you to know that I love the concept of this card and its mechanics. I don't know how well it works in practice but I love this card all the same!
I think I would just call the ruling that, since the function can't initially produce anything before checking the board state, when player goes to tap the land, it's open season for the land to produce any color.
I really like the design and it could probably work as intended within the rules but the wording would have to be different.
A reverse exotic orchard or reflecting pool is a cool idea. Probably not particularly strong but really evocative and the fact that you can fetch it would probably make it a low cost one of in most fetch land decks so I retract my initial statement. It's the best turn 1-2 land in that only taps for 1 mana in mtg but becomes colorless by turn 3. Not far off a fetchable aether hub.
You're going against the Spirit of the Law and Creativity itself. It could never extend to protect you in doing this—but only to correct you and your ambitions as misguided. Worlds of interactivity are closed to you then—there is no hope for any future. You mine as well cease to exist
Contrary, I realize how this also becomes a corruptee means for individuals to oppress the honest intellectual works of others in chauvinism. One's ego before all else principal—there is no price too great. All about that social-psychological asset (status, prowess, potential). Nothing stops a person from operating as a predator this way, for this reason, which furthermore shows how it should not be allowed. It's poorly managed development; especially in allowing unsets to take on effects that aren't truly unorthodox to the central game (as they require some special performance from the player—or fractionated game aspect or attribute); so they can become this dark prison for people's honest intellectual creations.

Demonic Attorney — I disagree. If you could prove how my admissions infringe upon the Spirit of the Law, and are indentifiably unjust; disrespecting Free Will, Well-Being, Personal Space, (and here in Murica) Free Speech. I will make forward my defense if necessary.

After looking it over this morning, I had an unsettling feeling over the flavor of the last design. It wasn't wrong, but it certainly felt like the context forced too much of a stretch of the imagination before it was realized. The new concept represents something like a blackhole loop. That which goes in, is theorized to be warped out of another side (via forces of gravity and centrifugal force). I like it a lot more. I don't think anything about the flavor text has to change. It in-fact seems even deeper and more evocative—of say voids in people's logic—that they try to fabricate the elements of knowledge/wisdom/understanding, but fail to do so successfully.

Let's be more creative and aware than this. There is certainly too much at stake

Making a wish on my 11-11-11.
If I saw this as a release, I probably wouldn't be wow'd by it.
I think it wants to be more autonomous and interactive.
It's a little convoluted though—in that it wants to incorporate three abilities.
I don't think this card would lead to great gameplay, as it just gets worse for you as the game goes on. It probably should only count lands you control for the last effect, so you can at least plan your deck around what colors of mana it can generate and doesn't randomly get neutered by your opponent playing a Vivid Marsh or something.

A reverse exotic orchard or reflecting pool is a cool idea.

It's the best turn 1-2 land in that only taps for 1 mana in mtg but becomes colorless by turn 3. Not far off a fetchable aether hub.
It's not really that hard for a person to plunder your paradise on turn 1.
I also modified the land type ability since it did unhealthy things with the assortment of domains: Tribal Flames, Gaea's Might, Might of Alara, Wandering Stream, Drag Down, Draco, Exotic Curse, Exotic Disease, etc.
Now you it can be fetched, as intended, but nothing else.
