| I don't think the flavor o the game remains without the different colored mana. It looses that elemental base. The resource management process is about a 1/3 of what defines a CCG. As I read through the posting, there are a dozen games with different mechanics to replace magic, but colored mana is as much apart of the flavor of the game as the types of cards. Game wise it can lead to some sucky hands, but flavor wise it fits the mythos of thegame.
