Color Matters

Covers cards whose effects key off colors as a resource: scaling power, mana, or abilities by the number of colors among your permanents, demanding a full five-color payment, or caring about exact color identity. Bloom Tender and Faeburrow Elder grow and produce mana for each color among permanents you control; The World Tree and Jodah, Archmage Eternal lean on a {W}{U}{B}{R}{G} cost or payment; Sphinx of the Guildpact is all colors; Niv-Mizzet Reborn rewards drawing across each color pair. These cards treat the colors themselves as the thing that matters, rewarding wide color spreads or precise combinations rather than raw card stats.
