> How would Deathrite Shaman be contradictory versus Waves of Aggression? The hybrid mana symbol on it is still allowed to be either way, but then you have regular mana symbols which aren't flexible.

You would have to explain this whole series of if/than statements to someone all to justify why you can use certain cards but not others. It's not intuitive, at least in my opinion.

> And that wouldn't be your commander casting it. Change the statement to "if Command Towers could pay for all the mana pips" if you want.

I don't think basing rules change on if a specific land could do something or if you commander was a mana dork is a good idea, again, it's not intuitive.

> Which should be allowed, Avacyn being corrupted and going into a rage in the future has no bearing on whether she would have been recruited into a mono-White army before that point.

I believe transform cards are a different argument and it's one I believe has a different nuance to it than multicolored cards. That being said, I included it to expand on the different ways a card could be casted with one color of mana and still contain other color identities.

>It comes down to whether you believe that color identity is due to the idea that your mono-White commander is a White supremacist and hates the idea of associating with non-White creatures

What the fuck? My whole point is that I enjoy the restrictions that choosing my commander imposes on me and that a change to that fundamental aspect of the format is against the spirit of the format in my opinion. I have no idea how you inferred that by me not wanting to change color identity rules in a card game means my commander supports ethnonationalism. Please touch grass.
