I was directed to post here due to cards being listed as illegal to use when that should not be the case.

I built a commander deck with Zirda, the Dawnwaker as its companion. Gorgon's Head and Diviner's Wand are red-listed for failing to meet the companion criteria of Zirda, the Dawnwaker, yet both cards have an equip cost which is an activated ability and thus they should be legal cards to use for the deck.

This is just my comment to this post so please don't take it as an extension of it that you have to respond to, however; you are free to reply to it if you want! For me, none of the Universes Beyond product IP's have appealed to me so far. I don't have any interests in movies, tv-shows, comics, or other tabletop games and while I do engage in videogaming I've never touched Assassin's Creed, Final Fantasy or Fallout before so all of those are moot as well. Despite that, I would like to have at least one Universes Beyond product catered to me as I have friends that really love a few of them and I'd like to have that same experience that they all got to have.

Personally, I don't think my interests align with most players, (and that's okay with me). I don't currently run any Universes Beyond cards in my decks due to having no interest in the source material for any of them, and I wouldn't mind it if other players felt the same way for cards from an IP that I would enjoy. That said, I would like to see a collab for either Disgaea or Azur Lane just so I could use a favorite character or two as a commander as I have a thing for cute character design that's juxtaposed with over-the-top action/explosions. I honestly don't think too many people would be interested in those IP's though, nor do I think there's any realistic chance they'll be adopted, but they're my picks as I don't feel there's any popular or realistic IP's I could see myself sleeving up cards for. Apologies if anyone thinks my IP choices would only further allienate the MTG brand, I still want MTG Universes Within to not deviate from what makes MTG, Magic the Gathering, and I would like to see WoTC handle either IP in way that would still be tasteful for any player who may have no interest in them.

And as a follow-up question; What would be one or two IP's that would appeal to you the most if WoTC were to ever implement that IP into the game regardless of that IP's themes, feasibility to be added, or popularity? What would you like the most about having it in MTG?

Universes Beyond is practically a part of the game now whether wanted or not. Instead of doom-posting about how it's, "Spongebob today, the Burger King tomorrow," I want to know to what extent the average MTG player enjoys Universes Beyond products. Are there any slam dunks for you or has WoTC yet to hit something you could actually feel excited for? More Universes Beyond products seem inevitable regardless of how favorably we talk about this subject, therefore; if there's a common enough IP desired amongst a good portion of us it would be best if that IP sees print rather than WoTC spitballing whatever IP's they think will appeal only to non-MTG players.

(Also, please don't factor in an IP's popularity or likelihood of being added when listing what IP's you would like to see, because if this sort of thing does happen it would be better if it's something unrealistic players would actually feel excited about rather than have it be something realistic that many players would only feel lukewarm about.)

Cards: Zirda, the Dawnwaker, Jodah's Codex

With Jodah's Codex if I control five basic land types, its activated ability becomes . Zirda, the Dawnwaker says it can't reduce an activated to less than 1 mana. How does Zirda affect the Codex's ability cost?

1.) I have both cards out and I control three basic land types. Does the Codex cost or to activate its ability?

2.) I have both cards out and I control five basic land types. Does the Codex cost or to activate its ability?

Thanks.
