Hydro Channeler floating mana not available for Converge/colorless spell
Tapped Hydro-Channeler and one island to float 1 red mana. Had 4 untapped lands (w,bl,bk,bk). Game would not let me cast Rancorous Archaic despite having five available mana. On the following turn, I repeated the process, and manually tapped each land, am staring at 5 floating mana symbols, but Rancorous Archaic was still greyed out. Cost me the game.
Screenshot from 17 lands replay attached. In game, after tapping for the mana, only Daydream and Inkling were available to cast. Rancorous was greyed out.

Mana from Hydro-Channeler can only be used to cast an instant or sorcery spell. Says so right on each of its two abilities. Your Archaic isn't one, so you only had 4 mana to cast it, one short.
