Commander Hybrid Mana

(Glyn) On Commander + Hybrid: As I understand it, under your rule, a mono-green Omnath deck could run Morselhoarder and Runes of the Deus and Morselhoarder would still get both buffs. This sort of interaction, even if it's rare, definitely feels like it violates the spirit of the color identity rule--a mono-green deck is gaining a buff from a card being red. Why do you think this sort of interplay should be allowed? Or, alternatively, what would you do to prevent it?

That can already happen right now. Gauntlet of Might can be played in any deck along with an Alloy Golem and a Scrapbasket. Both can get a bonus for being red. This exception happening should not override the basic tenet of hybrid representing “or”. At least, that’s what I believe. Note that I’m just giving my personal opinion (not Wizards) and have no input into the Commander format.
