Mana picky Triplets
Asked by Brutal_B 4 years ago
I just read from Epochalyptik on this post stating "If any effect would attempt to add to your mana pool any amount of mana of a color outside of your commander's color identity, it adds that much colorless mana to your mana pool instead". Official rulings?
So in my hand disruption deck led by Sen Triplets, I run lands like Gateway Plaza, Shimmering Grotto, and Holdout Settlement. Say Joe over there has been chosen by the Triplets and has exposed his hand. I see an Evolution Charm and would love to cast it. But can I? I tap my Gateway Plaza for green but since it is out of my commander's color identity that green goes colorless? If so that puts a huge damper on my deck as I look to cast/play from opponents' hands a good 60% of the time. Are the above mentioned lands now wasted slots cuz I can't use them to get red or green mana?
The rule about not being able to produce off-color mana was removed in January 2016. Lands in your Sen Triplets deck can now produce green or red if necessary (they still need to fit within your commander's color identity, which the ones you've listed do).

Yes I understand I've essentially asked the same question is the post that was linked, but that was 5 years ago and maybe rulings have changed?
