Different color mana in EDH
Asked by DJSeras 10 years ago
are you permitted to run a Cabal Coffers or Phyrexian Tower in a non black edh deck?, I do understand the mana would filter to colorless.

No. You are only able to run cards whose color identity is within your commander's. A card's color identity is determined by the mana cost and any colored mana symbols in the card's rules text. So both Cabal Coffers and Phyrexian Tower both have a black color identity and cannot be played in non black EDH decks.

Both Cabal Coffers and Phyrexian Tower have
in their ability effects. They are excluded for the same reason you can not run lands with off color basic types and you can not run Noble Hierarch
in anything that doesn't include all 3 of
