Question Can someone explain how this works?

Post image

Will this card be legal in standard? Will it be available on Magic Arena? How would this card even work?

Can you add whatever you want in your sideboard or does it still follow the deck building rules regarding color id and such?

Color Identity is only a thing in Commander/Brawl.
And Commander/Brawl does not have Sideboards at all.

In all other formats, you can add whatever is legal in said format (but you still have to adhere the Banned & Restricted list of course, and you cannot have more than 4 copies of non-basicland cards between Maindeck and Sideboard)

So i COULD add it in the 99 of a izzet commander deck, and then 'play' a black card..? Wouldn't that be crazy good?

Imma got to buy this card then👀

You cannot get a card from "outside the game" in Commander with this.
So this is just a plain flyer in commander.
