Am I allowed to use Shield of the Oversoul in a Rhonas deck?
Asked by Eldrazi13 2 years ago
I was building a Rhonas deck with the mechanic of Fight and I stumbled across Shield of the Oversoul and I was curious if it would be allowed since Rhonas the Indomitable is mono-green. Some places I checked said yes, but since it was Selesnya hybrid mana I wasn't sure. If someone could clarify for me, I would appreciate it.

There's a kind of debate going on about if it should be allowed, but the current rulings define the color identity of a card as including all colors of mana pips printed on the card that are not in (Italic reminder text in brackets).
Which means Trinisphere is not a black card, but Shield of the Oversoul's color identity is both green and white, because of the hybrid mana symbol. It's therefor not allowed in mono green commander decks.
