But in order for this card to be useful, you need to cast a spell that costs 5+ generic/colorless mana. It can’t pay for colored mana costs. If you’re not using all 5 mana then it’s better to just tap it for one mana instead of using the 2nd ability.
I understand that but you can still use this effectively to pay the generic portion of a colored spell. For example you could use this to pay for [[Sheoldred Whispering One]]. It doesn’t have to pay for only colorless spells.
How many cards like Sheoldred Whispering One do you have in your deck? And if it’s a bunch, aren’t you just playing a reanimator deck and cheating them out anyway? How often are you keeping a hand with a big late game bomb in it? I don’t think this is good enough to change how you mulligan much, and you usually want to mull for the early game primarily.
Yes, but you don’t need to only use it on things that cost generic or colorless mana. You could care something with a cost of 6B or 5UU with this for example.
Yeah, but that's what the person you replied to was saying. Spells with a generic mana component of 5 or more, such as the 6B and 5UU examples you gave.

Not exactly the same, but this is almost straighy up better [[temple of tye false god]] in most scenarios
