Hey, quick question. Gonti, Lord of Luxury says you can spend mana as if it were any color to cast the spells he exiles. What about say, a sol ring? Could it be tapped for double blue for counterspell?
Well, you can spend colorless mana as though it were blue. So yes, you can cast a Counterspell with Sol Ring via Gonti. But no, Sol Ring doesn't tap for blue mana.
Note that Gonti says mana of 'any type', not 'any color', which means it can let you tap two Swamps to cast a Warping Wail since Gonti's wording allows you to use colored mana as colorless.
If it did say 'any color', then you couldn't do this.
