Chromatic Orrery: Universal Mana Engine
Chromatic Orrery is a reliable anchor in any five color Commander deck. The card trades nothing for flexibility; seven generic mana buys a permanent that lets you spend mana as any color and taps to produce one of each color. In practice it smooths splash lines and speeds up expensive plays without asking you to change your mana base. Use it to enable big multicolor spells or to chain activated abilities that care about specific colors.
The secondary ability rewards board diversity. Paying five mana and tapping draws you cards equal to the number of colors among your permanents. That converts a cluttered midgame into a resource advantage when you manage your color spread. From a lore angle this artifact feels like an ancient calibration device that tunes the primal leylines of Ixalan into usable power. For deck builders who value predictable color access and long term card advantage this Orrery is a practical inclusion.
