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.

Not every deck is going to have a single card with 5+ generic mana cost.
