In Magic the Gathering can colorless be picked as a color?

Question

Example: The Gauntlet of Power's effect: When this comes into play pick a color. Creatures of the chosen color get +1/+1. When a player taps a basic land for the chosen color, that player adds one mana of the chosen color to their mana pool.

Answer 1

No, but if you want to make colorless cards colored, try adding painter's servent (R, Shadowmoor) to the deck. It makes everything in your hand, graveyard and in play the chosen color.

Answer 2

in that cards case its whatever color you choose.

it might start off as a colorless card but it actually changes to the chosen color.

that card is exactly a semi descent card.

i only say semi descent because it could be better.

but its effects would work well if you run a deck of one color.

and a creatures strength increase by the number of that colors permanents.

Answer 3

No

Reason: colorless is representative of an artifact. Anytime you get a card with colorless mana cost it has to specify the color on the card (this card is red).

The simpler reason is that color-less is not a color.

Answer 4

No, colorless is not considered a color in Magic. There are permanents that produce colorless mana, but even if the card lets say is black, and has tap add one colorless mana to your pool, that mana is colorless.  When the card Rhystic Cave came out in prophercy <sp>, it said something like tap to add 1 color of any mana to your mana pool unless a player pays 1 (colorless). Players would try to use it naming purple to see if their opponents would let them float the color, then use it to pay for things;or would name an off-color of magic hoping by doing so they would tap out. Wizards ruled you had to name a color in magic. Also as a side note, lands are colorless too, but they produce a color of magic, so if you had something that said all green permanents in play add +1 to your attack, you could not count fhe forest you have in play.

Answer 5

Simple easy answer. No. Colorless is what it says it is. Colorless. It can not be picked.

Answer 6

No, colorless is not a color.  No effect can make something colorless unless it specifically states that it can.  Effects that allow a card to become a chosen color must make that card one of the five colors of Magic.
