Sorin of House Markov Color Identity is Wrong in Brawl
The Creature named "Sorin of House Markov" is a creature front, planeswalker flip. The issue is that the color identity is not working proper, it is white, black even though its mono black. The reminder text of Extort on the card is classifing it as a 2 color card and im unable to put it in my mono black decks. I wish this commander was white and black because of this but i think this is a bug. If you guys changed the rules and its now allowed, im going to instantly build this deck in paper but im going wait till you confirm if this is a bug, go to make deck and select the card as your commander and then you can put in white cards. Also its missing in Mono black searchs with a black commander selected. Thanks for reading.

Sorin of House Markov has a w/b color identity because of its COLOR INDICATOR on the back side. Color indicators have been introduced years ago, and always contributed to color identity. The first set with DFCs, the original Innistrad, already had an example of this: Garruk Relentless/Garruk, the Veil-Cursed. That card's back has a b/g color indicator, making its color identity b/g . And that has always been the case.
A color idicator is colored or multicolored circle on the type line on the very left before the types are listed. The colors of the circle are the colors of the object.
204. Color Indicator
204.1. The color indicator is printed to the left of the type line directly below the illustration. It consists
of a circular symbol filled in with one or more colors. A color indicator is usually found on nonland
cards without a mana cost.
204.2. An object with a color indicator is each color denoted by that color indicator.
