A player at the table has a rule 0 commander deck that includes cards that they know break their commander's own color identity, but all cards that have off-color symbols in their deck are all hybrid symbols that can still be played with colored mana within their commander's color identity.

For example, a Rise of the Hobgoblins in a Krenko, Mob Boss deck or a Nature's Chant in a Kwain, Itinerant Meddler deck as long as all hybrid symbols have an on-color half. Neither example deck would run off-color hybrid cards such as Cease / Desist due to the .

Would you allow a rule 0 deck that abides by this slight change in color identity? Would you find it more acceptable for them to play that deck than a rule 0 deck that doesn't care about color identity at all or would it not make a difference to you assuming all other deck-building rules are followed?

Balaam maybe Cease / Desist for the sideboard Something like that? not sure what standard has as far as "target player gains life" spells. I think the problem youll run into more often is the getting the opponent down to 10 in the first place. Lifelink creatures hurt this deck, perhaps something that prevents lifegain, like Giant Cindermaw or Sunspine Lynx in the SB aswell.

This is a really neat and tidy deck right there! I am thinking of steering a rather aggro deck to this template. I hope you don't mind a few questions Do you feel like the indestructible tap-lands slow you down to much in aggressive match-ups? Also, which would you play if you only accommodate for 4 cards: Ensoul Artifact or Rise and Shine? Have you thought of a few copies of Cleansing Nova or Cease / Desist against artifact or enchantment heavy decks? Cease / Desist cantrips and helps you slow graveyard strats without taking a spot in your sideboard. Upvoted!
