How companions work in Commander
A companion sits outside your 100-card deck. If your deck meets its restriction, you reveal it at the start of the game, and once per game you can pay {3} to put it into your hand as a sorcery, then cast it as normal. In Commander the companion doesn’t count toward your 100 cards, but it still has to fit your commander’s color identity.
