either/or color cards in commander decks?
Asked by hehehembmw 12 years ago
could i use a card such as growing ranks in a commander deck that had say Jarad, Golgari Lich Lord as the commander?
Color identity of cards is noted by all mana symbols on the card, including mana cost and abilities. Hybrid mana costs are both of their colors at all times.
Growing Ranks has Hybrid G/W mana, so it's color identity is Green and White, therefore cannot be used in a Jarad EDH deck.

No. Because the card consists of either color (green or white, in the case of Growing Ranks ), it cannot be played legally if Jarad, Golgari Lich Lord was your general. Another example is Wilt-Leaf Liege not being playable due to it's white color.
