- WWizards of the Coast2004-12-01Official RulingThe Lattice’s third ability lets players spend even colorless mana as though it had a color. However, it doesn’t remove restrictions on the mana. For example, Mycosynth Lattice doesn’t allow mana from Vedalken Engineer to be used to cast a nonartifact spell.
- WWizards of the Coast2004-12-01Official RulingMycosynth Lattice turns all permanents on the battlefield into artifacts. Spells on the stack and cards in other zones aren’t permanents, so those spells and cards don’t become artifacts.
- WWizards of the Coast2004-12-01Official RulingMycosynth Lattice’s second ability makes everything, in every zone of the game, colorless.
- WWizards of the Coast2009-10-01Official RulingThe Lattice’s first ability causes Auras to become artifacts. Combined with March of the Machines from the Mirrodin set, this can then make those Auras become creatures. An Aura that’s also a creature can’t enchant anything. It’s unattached the next time state-based actions are checked, and then immediately put into its owner’s graveyard as a second state-based action.

- Wizards of the Coast2020-01-13Mycosynth Lattice was banned in modern on January 13, 2020. This combination, popular in Eldrazi and other Tron decks, can completely lock the opponent out from casting further spells. While decks featuring this combination often win in other ways, the deckbuilding cost to include this interaction is low, causing it to show up more often than is fun in competitive play.
