    Hall of Gemstone & Serra's Sanctum

    Hall of Gemstone

    Oracle Text:

    Hall of Gemstone
    Mana Cost:
    1GreenGreen
    Converted Mana Cost:
    3

    Types:
    World Enchantment
    Card Text:
    At the beginning of each player's upkeep, that player chooses a color. Until end of turn, lands tapped for mana produce mana of the chosen color instead of any other color.

    Serra's Sanctum

    Oracle Text:

    Serra's Sanctum
    Types:
    Legendary Land
    Card Text:
    Tap: Add White to your mana pool for each enchantment you control.
    Flavor Text:
    A fragile cocoon of dreaming will.


    Question: If I have both Serra's Sanctum & Hall of Gemstone in play at the same time, and I choose the color Green on my upkeep does Serra's Sanctum read:

    Serra's Sanctum
    Types:
    Legendary Land
    Card Text:
    Tap: Add Green to your mana pool for each enchantment you control.
    Flavor Text:
    A fragile cocoon of dreaming will.

    ...or

    Serra's Sanctum
    Types:
    Legendary Land
    Card Text:
    Tap: Add Green
    Flavor Text:
    A fragile cocoon of dreaming will.

    I'm fairly certain it is the first option, but I would like to confirm.

    Hall of Gemstone only affects color, not amount as opposed to Contamination for example.

    Thank you. I have an additional question. Would Utopia Sprawl still provide it's chosen color with a Hall of Gemstone in play?

    since the enchantment contain "when" it signals a triggered ability which produced the mana from the enchantment not the land, thus you get the color chosen by sprawl. If it were produced from the land it would provide the color chosen from hall of gemstone. I am lead to my conclusion by the fact that other auras contain wording like, enchanted forest gains... This is not the case in our situation so I would expect the enchanted forest to produce 1 mana from hall and 1 mana chosen by sprawl.

    i could be wrong, but i don't think I am.

    Can I get a second opinion on the Utopia Sprawl Part of this question. I think that it would still produce the chosen color, and not the Hall of Gemstone color, but I'm unsure.

    A land does not generate the bonus mana, Utopia Sprawl does.
    Lifted from Wild Growth additional rulings: 10/4/2004 The additional mana is not an ability of the land and is not something the land can produce.

    This is so useful, I just googled this and see the thread was recently necroed. Thanks! It may actually make Serra's Sanctum *better* then in producing green mana
