No. If the card has a mana symbol written anywhere on it thats not part of your commander's identity, you can't play it. A colorless commander deck can only include lands and other true colorless cards.

im glad they banned the one deck in the format that asked your opponent to interact with you or consider your possible actions during play and we can all now just sit at a table, play our cards in solemn silence for some turns and then look up and figure out who won

are we really pretending that like there wasn't common removal in every color that deal with a t2 stalker, turn 3 cleaver, turn 4 suit him up?

silent departure
claustrophobia
dead weight
tragic slip
victim of night
geistflame
prey upon
smite the monstrous

like those are all commons off the top of my head, I'm sure there's more, those are just what I remember from playing the game back then. Granted smite only hits him once he's suited up (maximum tempo play anyways) and silent departure is sub-optimal as a defensive spell but there's other ways to deal with him too, like the various shatter/naturalize effects (ancient grudge and I think actually just naturalize, right?), and then there are uncommons and rares

he was a top line play with cleaver but he wasn't unbeatable.

Oh, another fun bug: Overabundance won't add colorless mana because there is no symbol in the prompt box to "add", which also prevents you from using the land itself for mana because you can't make a selection or do anything but undo. I've... I've had enough MODO today

Won at least one game each round today in draft with Inverter of Truth. It's so loving cool when you push aside your deck and go "I am beating you with the 3 cards in my graveyard" (though to be fair one of those cards was usually Reality Smasher, my god the value)
