Sheldon and the Rules Committee, over at www.mtgcommander.net have posted that the Comprehensive Rules for Color Identity will include the color demarkation dot on the back of the Double Faced Cards (DFC).  Therefore, Color Identity for Commander will include both sides of a DFC in determining it's legality in a deck (and both text boxes).  What this really means is that the following cards' color identites are affected by their Night side: Garruk Relentless is BG Civilized Scholar is UR Cloistered Youth is WB Daybreak Ranger is RG 4 Cards total apprear to be...

As per Sheldon's article, it looks like paper EDH (now to be called Commander) and Online Commander (to differentiate it from paper Commander) will be syncing up rules wise. Here is the relevant link: www.starcitygames.com/magic/multiplayer/... One of the most important spoilers is this: "One of the side meetings I had was with Aaron Forsythe, Scott Larabee, and Dave Guskin about syncing up the online and paper games and rules. I'm happy to report that barring programming concerns—some of these things just take time—the online game is going to end up as close to the...

I went on a Wiki spree these last couple of weeks and completed a major overhaul of the Commanders by Color, Commanders by CMC, Tribal Commanders and Pauper/Budget Commanders pages of the Wiki.  I am still soliciting input on the Staples pages, please see the thread in the group forum.  Comments, concerns and questions are always welcome.  Please let me know if there are any errors or omissions.  Also, I wrote an Excel file with all the commander data and set it to auto-generate linking code for the casting costs and Commander Card links, so if anyone...
