I like it, kind of like lotus blossom which I have used once in a while, but weaker... It can charge up faster in your greeny deck though.

Like the quests these are tough to build around because of late game draws...

But this could be absolutely absurd on second turn with green. May be a great fit with some Eldrazi decks that don't care for efficiency. This should get mass charged fairly quickly in most Green decks.

Whoa Mana ramp... This thing is amazing... with some proliferate, this thing can just power out the mana in any color... Eldrazi black?

I think this could be built around for great profit, but it does have to be built around. Since it's just colorless mana, you have to be able to use that (or convert it to a color somehow).

Still, it's not like there was giant, massive, colorless spells just printed or anything. None whatsoever.

I'd use it in {R}{G} burn.

If this thing cost 2 and didn't have the green trigger, I would love it. As printed it's probably the weakest of the shrines. If you're green you can just cast Cultivate; if you're green metalcraft you have no need for a one-time mana boost. Legitimate in Commander, though.

Combos well with X, where X is any spell with X in its casting cost.

The problem with this one is drawing it late game. The other shrines all have some use in the late game, but to get this guy when you've already got 6 lands on the field is worthless.

Payoff is great later on. Does nothing the first turn and inefficient for a bit. Dead draw later on. Seems fun to build around though.
