I guess the theory behind War Room's design is that the more colors your commander has, the more likely your deck is to already have some decent card draw?
I'd think so too. If you have a colorless commander, you need to pay 0 life, which you can do. If you simply have no commander, the life payment is not defined, and you are completely unable to pay "undefined life" and therefore can't activate the ability at all.
However, I bet tons of people will get that wrong.
WotC continued commitment to being lazy.
Having the text “3, Tap: Choose a legendary creature or planeswalker you control, in exile or in your command zone. You may pay life equal to the number of colors it is. If you do, draw a card.”
I just came up with that by myself. Yet WotC has a whole “d”ucking team working on it but the said ‘Eh i don’t want to think to hard, it’s easier if we just say commanders color identity.’

Your text adds nothing to the card. It’s not even any more clear than theirs. You’re simply less efficient with your vocabulary. In this case, they’re not lazy, you are.
The colour identity is relevant because of partners and commander with abilities that extent they're colour identity. With your wording Najila can draw buy only paying 1 life, current wording cost 5

"Colors it is" is not necessarily the same as color identity. For example, Kenrith or Golos.

I know this is gonna blow your mind...but there are formats besides commander! WotC use to make cards that functioned inside and outside commander. That shows creativity and critical thinking. This is a Wastes outside of commander, thats lazy. Fractured Powerstone was lazy because Mind Stone could also tap for a colorless but works everywhere.
The colour identity is relevant because of partners and commander with abilities that extent they're colour identity. With your wording Najila can draw buy only paying 1 life, current wording cost 5
Again other formats beside commander exists. My wording works like you said outside of commander and and exactly the same as the current card does in commander.

Yes, but those other formats can just play another color, like blue, which has the card draw. Sure, your "fix" adds playability in a vacuum, but it can never catch up to spells or lands that draw cards on their own.

I know this is gonna blow your mind, but this is a set for commander. The cards are made for commander. They're going to be worded to work for commander.
And your wording DOES NOT work exactly the same in commander as the current card.

Dude...you're not serious are you? The only thing that blows my mind is that you're trying to defend yourself despite the glaring weakness in your thought process.
IMO, WOTC does a lot of things wrong these days. But this isn't one of them.

The rulings seem to be that it doesn't function in other formats, other than to tap for colorless.
However, I bet tons of people will get that wrong.
