For a card to be considered a commander in Magic: the Gathering, it must fulfill one of the two following criteria:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The card must be a legendary creature; or,
The card must state, “This card can be your commander.”
Commanders are always either a creature or planeswalker. This is the first decision a player must make when building a Commander deck: who will lead your army?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Importance of a Commander’s Color Identity
A commander’s color identity is the combination of colors required to pay for its mana value. For example: Muldrotha, the Gravetide costs six mana to cast: three colorless, one blue, one black, one green. Therefore, Muldrotha, the Gravetide’s color identity is blue\/black\/green, also known as Sultai in Magic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

During each of your turns, you may play a land and cast a permanent spell of each permanent type from your graveyard. (If a card has multiple permanent types, choose one as you play it.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here’s the kicker: Commander decks must conform to the color identity of its commander. In the example of Muldrotha, the Gravetide: the deck can only include cards that are blue, black, green, colorless, or some combination of those colors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In other words, the color identity of your commander limits what cards you can include in the deck (it is the only limitation, in fact, aside from the ban list).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
