Legendary Artifact
T: Add one mana of any color among legendary creatures and planeswalkers you control.

Don't think it will work in my cube but any mox warrants discussion. Legendary cube managers will be pleased

I don't think it's good enough outside of an all legendary cube. And not being able to use it to cast your first permanent limits its value, not to mention its inability to produce mana if your legendary card is dealt with. Pass.

Only about 63/450 targets/activators in my cube. I don't think that is enough to warrant inclusion.

Actually, does it add generic mana if there are no legends out?

No it wont. It also won't tap for colourless if you have a colourless legend.

I think i might test this.

I'm at 47 targets at 375.

If you draft with it in mind there are some petty gross plays. turn one kari zev, skyship raider, turn 1 jace, vryn's prodigy turn 2 liliana of the veil. turn 1 thalia, guardian of thraben followed up with turn 2 brimaz, king of oreskos say whaaaaaat?

This needed to be able to be tapped to cast a legendary card and give you man for anything if you had a legendary permanent. The right deck/cube sure but most of the time you are better off with coldsteel heart

Too inconsistent, IMO. Mana needs to be consistent to be cubeable and I'd rather just run any 2-cmc mana rock over this.

This can't cast Kari Zev turn one though without turn one without some insane hand of Mox - > Isamaru / Zurgo / Kytheon /, land, Mox Amber.

holy jesus i think i got confused by the original chinese document! I thought this tapped for any colour of mana but it could only be used to cast legendary creatures or planeswalkers. that changes a lot!

Nope. If you don't control a legendary creature/'walker, this doesn't tap for mana at all...

looks like wizards finally created a mox that doesn't brake the game.

As much as I agree, it wouldn't surprise me if you could do something sick with these. Maybe there's some sort of legendary deck in modern where you play x4 of these and you're playing early 3-4 mana dudes after you play thalias and jaces? This is crazy talk, I know, but if a deck like Lantern Control can exist then anything could.

seems like the best spot for this card is some kind of boros aggro with isamaru, hound of konda, kytheon, hero of akros, and zurgo bellstriker to ramp out an early aggressive 3 drop on turn two.

My cube is more legendary than most - I think it's a neat card, and while I don't think it'll make it in, I'm sorely tempted.

will this work with memnark or legendary artifact creatures that are color less? Will this work with Karn?

This is amazing with Thalia and Teeg. Now you don't have to worry about the thalia up tick on your spells.

New modern legonday themed decks what fun we will have when this releases.

No, it does not work with colorless legendary cards.
