No not really. Your lands are plains, so they make any colour mana, so you can play your red cards, not that their costs change anyway.

No, it is, in all likelihood, game over. His lands are all plains, but he can spend red mana, and only red mana, to pay colored mana costs. His plains produce white, not red, so he cannot produce the mana needed to cast colored spells.

This was a powerhouse back in the day when it was released.

Any way to redirect this to affect your opponent? For every advantage i can think of for using this card, i can think of just as many cards that change the color named in a text.
Donate it in a white/blue edh deck to a nonwhite deck so they can't cast anything

@Pantheon: I like how that Sleight of Mind trick wouldn't have worked with Celestial Dawn's original (non-Oracle) wording.

As a black player, this card greatly offends me.

Strange card , you can't lock someone with it cause all his lands will be plains that produce white but all his cards are white too so he can cast normaly . I think this help in a multicolored game so that "everything is white" is fixing your mana issues .

EDIT: For the ignorant player who gave me a 0.5, here's a fact: During designing, Celestial Dawn was nick named Bleach.

I love this, and use it extensively. Best for prismatic decks. It allows W playable as any mana, and works with Fist Of Suns.

I had this in play and my oponent used Sleight of Mind to change White to Red on this card...
Game over for me.
Edit: Since the Oracle wording is "You may spend white mana as though it were mana of any color." all my lands were plains and produced white mana, but after the Sleight it was red mana that could be spent as mana of any color.
Additional Edit: Interestingly enough, Magical Hack works on both the printed and Oracle text of this card.
