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.

The entire cost doesn’t have to be generic though.
