{T}: Add one mana of any color. When you next cast an artifact spell this turn, that spell gains sunburst. (If it's a creature, it enters with a +1/+1 counter on it for each color of mana spent to cast it. Otherwise, it enters with that many charge counters on it.)
What it does
Tagged as Ramp · +1/+1 counters — the jobs the deck report counts it toward.
Official rulings
- If a spell has multiple instances of sunburst, each one applies. For example, if you activate the abilities of two Solar Arrays and then cast Selfcraft Mechan (an artifact creature), it will have two instances of sunburst and will thus enter with two +1/+1 counters on it for each color of mana spent to cast it.

- The five colors are white, blue, black, red, and green. Colorless is not a color. (2025-07-25)
- Sunburst checks what mana was actually spent to cast the spell. If an effect allows you to spend mana “as though it were” mana of any color or type, that allows you to spend mana you couldn’t otherwise spend, but it doesn’t change what mana you spent to cast the spell. (2025-07-25)
