Hey. Just wanted to remind y'all that this is coming. Look. Look! I convinced Wizards of the Coast to let me write a print MAGIC THE GATHERING novel!

the argument is that they were originally designed to be playable in monocolor decks so they should also be playable in monocolor commander decks.

which is an odd argument, given that EDH as a format has always deviated from the original design intent. color identity is an EDH-exclusice concept.

e.g. should you be able to play Kenrith in a mono white deck? maybe, but then how do you justify his 5-color identity within the same rule?
should you be able to play Archangel Avacyn in a mono white deck? maybe, but then how do you justify her color identity also being boros at the same time?

the problem is that the concept of color identity works both ways: Rhys the Redeemed has a white-green color identity in the command zone so he should also have it in the 99.
it's confusing if you make it inconsistent and it gets even worse if you extend it to other not-quite-multicolor cards.

maybe we should go back to "you can only produce mana in your commander's color identity" from pre-2017, then we wouldn't really need to restrict the deck construction anymore

yeah that's true. color identity is a pretty consistent rule and it would become worse if it had specific exceptions.
imo the only alternative is to abolish the idea of color identity entirely.

an old fan favorite

it's too late to consult him for the development but the least they could do now is send him a free lair and credit him in the description

just a tiny bit too expensive to keep

today is the last day of my cool handle 😢

that sounds like a black card, not a red card (11 out of 11 archfiends in Magic are black)

oh shit i might have to watch this one

nice

Ninjas & Pirates & Myrs… Oh My! Today I thought it might be fun to swap hats and turn this into a Creative column to answer a thorny question – Do ninjas belong in Magic?

20 years before outer space or racing sets, Magic had to decide how ninjas could fit into Magic's fantasy world.

MTG flavor judge drawing depicting the cards Ragost, Deft Gastronaut and Weapons Manufacturing: The lobster chef Ragost stands before a table, presenting their dish to a customer holding a fork. The dish is a warhead, labeled with a radioactive sign and sitting on a large plate. Rogost looks ahead with a vacant stare, claws by their sides, while the customer looks down at the warhead with a blank expression.

MTG flavor judge drawing depicting the cards Ragost, Deft Gastronaut and Weapons Manufacturing: Continuing from and zooming out from the previous drawing, the customer has poked the warhead with their fork. This has caused the pointed front of the warhead to explode off, launching through the air and embedding itself in the back of a previously out-of-frame bystander. The bystander has been bodily thrown forward by the impact, blurred with motion, and appears to be dead as evidenced by X's for eyes. Rogost and the customer stare at the dead bystander with blank expressions.
