Crystal Grotto

Five-color fixing folded into a land drop, with a tax that never lets the fixing come free. Most any-color sources in a land shell force one of two concessions: they enter tapped, or they demand mana to filter your colorless into a color. This one arrives untapped, produces colorless with no strings on the bare tap, then offers a second mode that yields any color for one generic plus the tap. Because the tap is part of the activation cost, the generic has to come from somewhere else: converting to a color requires a spare mana on the side, so the land can never satisfy a colored pip in isolation. The color access is genuine but self-limited, priced per use rather than sold outright. The scry on entry does real work the instant the land resolves, smoothing your next draw rather than sitting idle until a color emergency arrives. That per-color surcharge compounds across a curve-out, and the greedy pile pays it gladly: it would sooner meter out its fixing color by color than run tapped duals and pray. Chromatic Lantern's philosophy sits underneath, universal fixing you pay for as you draw on it, but relocated out of the artifact slot so it survives artifact removal and carries a scry besides. A tool for decks that have decided they will never miss a color, at a cost they have decided is worth paying.
