Putting a land card onto the battlefield with Bonny Pall's last ability doesn't count as playing a land. You can put a land card onto the battlefield even if you've already played your land for the turn.
Color identityEvery color of mana symbol on a card, in its cost and in its rules text. Your commander's color identity sets the limit for your whole deck: every other card has to fit inside it. A deck led by a green and white commander cannot play a card with any blue in its color identity.Open the full glossaryUGPlayers write colors as letters: U for blue, G for green.
