Is Oracle of Nectars a legal commander? It's not legendary.

I was putting together an EDH deck and used Oracle of Nectars as the commander and the program says that it's a legal EDH/Commander format...

There is an EDH deck on here somewhere that uses Dark Depths as its commander and people were throwing a hissy fit when the site said it was legal considering that it isn't even a creature and also had colored cards in it. The site only cares if the cards themselves are legal in the format, not if they match the color identity either.

That's why Nephilim (e.g. Witch-Maw Nephilim) helmed EDH decks are still TO-legal even though the Nephilim aren't legendaries WHICH THEY SHOULD BE.

No. The legality only checks if cards in the deck are legal for the format, not if it's an actually legal deck. You can also have multiple of the same (non-basic land) card, and it will still show as legal.
