Does the colour of generated tokens affect colour identity?

Asked by gigagloin 6 years ago

I'm new to commander and would like to build a white deck using Thalia, Heretic Cathar as commander. I'd like to include Hanweir Militia Captain and am struggling to determine the correct color identity.

I know that the color identity of e.g. Archangel Avacyn is RW because her flip side is red. Hanweir Militia Captain, on the other hand, stays white but gains the ability to generate WB tokens. Is it's color identity W or WB?

You are allowed to play Hanweir Militia Captain. Color identity only looks at mana symbols and the color of flip sides, not at the color of the tokens.
