[EDH] Esika, God of the Tree

[Serguei]

Hello the community,

I have some questions regarding Esika, God of the Tree


If I play Esika as a commander, What would be the colors identity of my decks ? Only green or would it be a 5 colors decks ?
Will I be able to play the Prismatic bridge face from the command zone?
If yes, I suppose I would pay the commander tax as for the face up card?


Thanks in advance for your answers;
Maxime

Hello the community,

If I play Esika as a commander, What would be the colors identity of my decks ? Only green or would it be a 5 colors decks ?All 5 colors, both faces of the card are used to determine color identity.





Will I be able to play the Prismatic bridge face from the command zone?Yes, you can cast either side of the card from the Command Zone.





If yes, I suppose I would pay the commander tax as for the face up card?

Yes, the Commander Tax would apply for the total amount of times you cast the card itself (either face). So, say if you cast Esika and it gets killed, you return it to the Command Zone. Then you decide to cast it as Prismatic Bridge, this will cost you :2: more to cast. Say someone Counterspells it and you return it to the Command Zone. Now you want to cast it as Esika again, this would cost you :4: more (it would cost the same amount more if you cast it as Prismatic Bridge those as well).
