That is a might punishing drawback, but I suppose it's balanced out by the option to tap for colorless. You've really got to want that colored mana.
This seems both good and balanced, I could see it being reprinted for real in standard. Perhaps an option for a core set in place of a cycle of rare lands, that would free up some rare slots and allow an interesting uncommon land cycle to shine.

I like The Dark Broodmother the most I think. Mainly because I always wondered what the hatchling looked like grown up.
How interesting that you would say that. Dark Broodmother was the only one I was inspired to make, and decided I should put more than one card in a new thread, so I just slapped out the other four.
