If an ability would produce one or more mana of an undefined type, it produces no mana instead.

Some abilities produce mana based on the type of mana another permanent or permanents “could produce.” The type of mana a permanent could produce at any time includes any type of mana that an ability of that permanent would produce if the ability were to resolve at that time, taking into account any applicable replacement effects in any possible order. Ignore whether any costs of the ability could or could not be paid. If that permanent wouldn’t produce any mana under these conditions, or no type of mana can be defined this way, there’s no type of mana it could produce.

To “tap [a permanent] for mana” is to activate a mana ability of that permanent that includes the {T} symbol in its activation cost. See rule 605, “Mana Abilities.”

An ability that triggers whenever a permanent “is tapped for mana” or is tapped for mana of a specified type triggers whenever such a mana ability resolves and produces mana or the specified type of mana.

A replacement effect that applies if a permanent “is tapped for mana” or tapped for mana of a specific type and/or amount modifies the mana production event while such an ability is resolving and producing mana or the specified type and/or amount of mana.

If an object’s enters-the-battlefield triggered ability or replacement effect refers to X, and the spell that became that object as it resolved had a value of X chosen for any of its costs, the value of X for that ability is the same as the value of X for that spell, although the value of X for that permanent is 0. This is an exception to rule 107.3i.

The tap symbol is {T}. The tap symbol in an activation cost means “Tap this permanent.” A permanent that’s already tapped can’t be tapped again to pay the cost. A creature’s activated ability with the tap symbol in its activation cost can’t be activated unless the creature has been under its controller’s control continuously since their most recent turn began. See rule 302.6.

The untap symbol is {Q}. The untap symbol in an activation cost means “Untap this permanent.” A permanent that’s already untapped can’t be untapped again to pay the cost. A creature’s activated ability with the untap symbol in its activation cost can’t be activated unless the creature has been under its controller’s control continuously since their most recent turn began. See rule 302.6.

If an object on the battlefield becomes a copy of Corrupted Shapeshifter, it copies the values determined by its enters-the-battlefield replacement effect.

Devoid doesn't affect the color identity of the card for the purposes of the Commander variant. For example, while Abstruse Appropriation is colorless because it has devoid, its color identity is still white and black, and it can't be included in a Commander deck where the commander's color identity doesn't include both white and black.

If a permanent enters the battlefield as a copy of Corrupted Shapeshifter, there will be two copy effects to apply to it. One will copy the values chosen for the Corrupted Shapeshifter being copied. And you'll choose the values for the copy's own enters-the-battlefield replacement effect. The resulting permanent will have the abilities from both effects, and its power and toughness will be determined by the last effect to apply. For example, if a creature entering the battlefield is copying an 0/12 Corrupted Shapeshifter with defender, you could make it a 3/3 or an 0/12, either way with flying and defender.

A card with devoid is just colorless. It's not colorless and the colors of mana in its mana cost.

Devoid works in all zones, not just on the battlefield.

Other cards and abilities can give a card with devoid a color. If that happens, it's just the new color, not that color and colorless.

While not on the battlefield, Corrupted Shapeshifter is a 0/0 creature card. It doesn't have flying, vigilance, or defender.

If a card loses devoid, it will still be colorless. This is because effects that change an object's color (like the one created by devoid) are considered before the object loses devoid.
