For One Mana: White
Each of these cards has their own use in some way shape or form, and if you know your local pod relies on turning creatures sideways to load up on umpteen combat or attack-related triggers at which point they reach critical mass, surprise them next time.
For One Mana: Any Color
Are they really not going to block your 11 power commander because they want to deny you two extra cards?
For One Mana - Green
Chief: Drop of Honey was actually reprinted as a white card in Planar Chaos. Check out Porphyry Nodes if you want a more affordable equivalent.
Exxaxl: Shhh no white article spoilers, I still have the colorless one to write first.
For One Mana - Red
Too many people abuse this silent agreement that lands should be left alone and go overboard by stapling strong effects and interactions in their land base, knowing people likely aren’t running the correct targeted removal to deal with it. Prevent that Villainous Wealth or Torment of Hailfire of reaching X = 15, don’t allow the voltron player to keep their Rogue’s Passage and get rid of that Urza’s Saga before it can tutor up an artifact.
For One Mana - Black
Even without a voltron player at the table, when’s the last time you had a game without Lightning Greaves, Swiftfoot Boots, Shadowspear or any of the ‘Sword of’ cards getting played? Sure, their commander can have hexproof or shroud, but chances are high the equipment will not!
For One Mana - Blue
Energy Tap turns into quite a strong ritual in a color that’s not really known for playing this type of effect. Tapping your Torrential Gearhulk to help you overload a Cyclonic Rift feels amazing to pull off.
