Title: Commander Color
Post by: ELLERfeller on July 12, 2016, 09:22:18 AM
So if you can put a  {Crypt Ghast} in a mono black commander can I put a  {Tasigur, the Golden Fang} in a black/blue commander deck?

no, {Crypt Ghast} is for atleast {B}{W} commander, im not really sure maybe theres an exception about the extort ability

{Tasigur, the Golden Fang} is 3 colors {B}{G}{U}

While you are right about tasigur. You are wrong about crypt ghast.

Extort is a key word, and the text that talks about W/B mana is reminder text. Reminder text does not influence color identity.

Okay so how can you tell the difference between reminder and ability?

Reminder text is always in  parentheses.

Ability(reminder text of the ability)

For a final example.

{abzan guide} has reminder text for its lifelink keyword.
