Rules Regarding Color Representation

Regarding the "soft rule" you discussed in your "The Question" DTW, would you consider the card Sage of the Inward Eye to be a violation of this rule? That card has always bothered me, because it doesn't feel red to me. I could have bought it as white-blue, but I noted at the time that it could actually have been mono-white; and this DTW episode seems to confirm that even making it white-blue instead of mono-white would be considered undesirable.

As I explained in the episode, it’s hard for every multicolor card to mechanically represent every color. We do try, but don’t force it because it just leads to overly wordy, complicated cards. With multicolor factions, we do try to make sure the card feels like it belongs in that faction.Remember a “soft rule” is defined as a rule we make an effort to follow, but allow ourselves to deviate from if other issues pop up. That means it’s hard to be a violation of a soft rule.
