Celestial Dawn

Enchantment

Lands you control are Plains.
Nonland permanents you control are white. The same is true for spells you control and nonland cards you own that aren't on the battlefield.
You may spend white mana as though it were mana of any color. You may spend other mana only as though it were colorless mana.

Celestial Dawn card art
Celestial Dawn rewrites every mana source and spell in your deck to produce and cost white, which sounds narrow until you realize it lets Sen Triplets cast anything from opponents' hands without hitting color restrictions, or turns Ashaya, Soul of the Wild's forest-creature lands into Plains that feed a mono-white lock. The three-mana enchantment earns its slot in the specific shells that break it, and does almost nothing outside them.

Sen Triplets wants to cast spells from opponents' hands, but color identity stops that cold — Celestial Dawn removes that barrier entirely by making every spell in the game cost white mana, which Sen Triplets can always produce.

Celestial Dawn is legal in Commander, Legacy, Modern, Vintage, and Oathbreaker, but its real home is Commander, where the color-identity tension it resolves is most acute. In Legacy and Vintage it's a fringe curiosity — the lock with Conversion or other white-matters cards exists on paper but rarely clears the power-level bar those formats demand. Modern sees essentially zero play; the effect doesn't map onto anything the format's linear strategies need. In Commander it's a niche but legitimate engine piece in decks built around Sen Triplets or other theft commanders where casting off-color spells is the entire game plan.
