My assumption is that the diamond symbol literally refers to colorless mana. It's not a new, sixth color, and you actually can pay for the new Kozilek by tapping five Sol Rings. However, you could not do it by tapping nine mountains and one mind stone.

Then why does a land produce ♦?

I don't think it does. The diamond just looks better, and fits the aesthetic of full art lands better, than a big number 1.

I think that's just the new, no-ambiguities way to say "{1}" now, just because that seems less insane than any alternative.

Hanweir's neat but it'd be creepier with a "human ooze" typeline. Nthing the disappointment that they went all in on the eldrazi in the space of one? set.

My biggest regret is that we never got a card called "Simic Angel" with "Creature - Human Bird Ooze" in its type line.

"This is how you make them, right?"

Exclusive EDM spoiler: there's another colorshifted donate in the set too.

Angel of Donations 2W
Creature -- Angel
Flying, first strike, vigilance, lifelink, haste, protection from permanents you own
When Angel of Donations enters the battlefield, target opponent gains control of target permanent you control and you gain 2 life.
4/5

Dies to removal.

i'm not sure i understand why she is green

She uses blue mana to draw cards, tap permanents, and cast spells without paying their casting costs. She uses green and white mana to be good in standard.

You could in theory draw as many as 4 cards from one activation of her +1 if double-strike is involved.

Eight with double strike, vigilance, and a cooperative opponent!

Add a fight spell, ten. Ka-ching.

Fights don't cause any combat damage. However, I just realized that you could draw twelve cards if you immediately followed Tamiyo with the new Emrakul.

An arbitrary number if your opponent keeps taking extra turns/combat phases!!

You realize too late that their plan along was to keep using time walk/lure effects in order to deck you.
