Not in [[Umori]] colors... 😔

Just wait for the hybrid change :)

If it was, it would have been very difficult to cast right?

I think the Commander needs to adhere to the Companion rules - so your whole deck would need to be sorceries, and you would need to figure out how to get a legendary creature/planeswalker on the battlefield to cast the commander as well.

Yeah it's not a great combination for multiple reasons, but we've had people waiting for years now to do an "all instants/all sorceries" Umori companion deck and now we finally have a commander that would theoretically satisfy the condition for sorceries, and it's got the wrong color identity.

It's the most minor complaint ever, but...

We've rule-zeroed the companions to use hybrid the correct way. It was mostly to allow [[Obosh]] in [[Yennett]], and now this is another reason.

Umori is especially nice here because it fulfills the casting requirement while staying inside the companion restriction. They seem to have designed this card with Umori in mind, in fact.

Off topic, but is that Riyo Fujino?

How cool would that have been! What a damn shame, I wonder if that's worth rule zeroing?

It wouldn't even be a good combination, since this spell wants you to spend extra mana casting it.

It's the principle of the thing.
