I know that reminder text does not count towards color identity, so I took a quick look through Gatherer for cards that have mana symbols in their reminder text that do not match the card's color identity. (For example, a card may have a white color identity, but have a  mana symbol in its reminder text.) The reason for this is such cards are not appearing in my searches but should, so I want to know what cards I am missing in case any of them may be needed.

I was able to find  Charmed Pendant , Trinisphere , (which are both colorless with colored mana symbols in their reminder text,) and monocolored cards with extort with in their reminder text. Do you know of any other cards with colored mana symbols in their Oracle reminder text that is outside of that card's Commander color identity? If so, which ones?

Extort doesn't change the color identity

neither does other reminder text, both Charmed Pendant and Trinisphere are colorless

I know that. The problem is that such cards are not appearing in my search results, so it is easy for me to miss them. I merely want to know what cards have mana symbols in their reminder text that is outside of the card's color identity so I can make a note of them so I know about them when doing my searches.

Yeah, but shocklands only have mana symbols in their reminder text, and Murmuring Bosk has only the one in the reminder text.

lands have extra rules for the color identity

Murmuring Bosk has a green color identity not because of the reminder text, but because it is a Forest

I guess I must of gotten the only cards that have mana symbols in their reminder text that does not match their color identity. That is good. That means that there are only few extra cards that I have to keep track of.

Thank you all for posting. It means much to me.

Are you talking about things like Prized Elephant ?
Where you need to search is "Rules Text". (Reminder comes after, in parentheses and itallics)

I can't read the cards you reference without it...

Well, ok, I CAN read the cards, but it involves opening Gatherer, looking your card up by name, hoping it's spelled right, and...

I'm just too lazy to do it, alright?
Please Autocard.
