So I notice that they seem to be trying to provide UG converge as a draftable archetype in BFZ, but we have yet to see much mana fixing for all 5 colors, even though it's something we seem to be expected to have access to. We have 1 1/2 5 card cycles of rare dual lands, and that's about it. Are there uncommon/common lands yet unannounced? Are there 2 mana mana dorks that provide various colors? Basic land searching? There's got to be enough for it to at least be viable in limited, so there's got to be a lot we don't see.
Would it be broken if they printed a source for a new mana type, one that counts as all 5 colors at once, or just multiple types? Maybe something along the lines of 'add one mana of type X to your mana pool. X counts as colors Y and Z,' where X is a generic descriptor and Y and Z are actual colors. Or perhaps a way to alter your existing mana base, to compact only what you have access to: 'whenever a source you control produces mana, that mana is all colors that source could produce.'
There'd have to be some heavy restrictions in place, but it'd be an... interesting way to enable converge, especially for the lower CC spells.

I was about to ask the same question, but I was thinking about a land that produced hybrid mana. It would add one hybrid mana to a players mana pool which could be used to pay for any costs of either color, but would be counted as two different colors of mana when used to pay costs that cared about such things like converge and sunburst.
Another more likely case is that they might add something similar to Fist of Suns to Oath of the Gatewatch as a way of evolving the converge mechanic a bit. Perhaps even going as far as printing converge cards that give players the option of paying its normal casting cost or WUBRG to cast it.

I'd expect a mona dork, just not a one drop mana dork.
Maybe something that produces colorless with Landfall or Rally.
