Question about Evolving Wilds.
Asked by BrutalNoob 8 years ago
When you play Evolving Wilds, what color land is it? I'm running a b/g deck and don't want to run into mana color problems. Thank you.
Actually not always. Normally lands are colorless, yes, but there're many ways for a land to gain a color.
Dryad Arbor is a green land because it has the green color indicator. Manlands like Celestial Colonnade gain colors when they animate, and there are ways to set the color of objects.

Yeah, I guess in those ways. There's also land animation from outside sources like Nissa, Worldwaker.

Just in case this happened to be part of the question:
Evolving Wilds is itself a colorless card, and it also doesn't produce any mana of any kind. All it does is allow you to find one basic land. That land, not Evolving Wilds, will produce colored mana.

If you're asking about the color identity for the purposes of a commander deck, Evolving Wilds has a colorless identity. It doesn't have a mana cost or color indicator, and it doesn't have any colored mana symbols printed in its text box.

Lands are ALWAYS colorless. A Swamp isn't black, nor is a Forest green. So, to answer your question, technically, it's not a color. You can't say colorless, since colorless isn't a color.
