Last_Laugh the official rules say this:

903.4d The back face of a double-faced card (see rule 711) is included when determining a card’s color identity. This is an exception to rule 711.4a. Example: Civilized Scholar  ^Flip is the front face of a double-faced card with mana cost . Homicidal Brute is the back face of that double-faced card and has a red color indicator. The card’s color identity is blue and red.

Ooh, sadly that is an illegal deck, Civilized Scholar  ^Flip is considered an izzet card in terms of color identity, because of the red sticker on the flipped side (Homicidal Brute), and so those 5 consecutive wins aren't allowed.

I'm really sorry about this!

(It's actually the example on the wiki for this at https://mtg.gamepedia.com/Color_identity#:~:text=Example%3A%20Civilized%20Scholar%20is%20the,identity%20is%20blue%20and%20red.)

LeoSushi I have considered Civilized Scholar  ^Flip as an alternative to Merfolk Looter because the interaction with Lazav is incredibly useful. Unfortunately from what I understand, Scholar's color identity is due to its flip side Homicidal Brute so I cannot use it in this deck.
