Umori, the Collector

Legendary Creature — Ooze

Companion — Each nonland card in your starting deck must share exactly one card type across all of them. (You may reveal this card from outside the game before you start and declare it as your companion. If you do, your deck must follow the companion's restrictions. You may pay {3} to put this companion from your sideboard to your hand at any time you could cast a sorcery. This action can't be interacted with or countered. You may only choose one companion for your deck before the start of each round.)

As Umori, the Collector enters the battlefield, choose a card type.

Spells you cast of the chosen type cost {1} less to cast.

legendofa on Umori has more friends than me!

sonalexander The Companion ability allows you to add a Companion card from your sideboard to your hand at any time, provided you follow the deck building restrictions. In this case, Umori, the Collector requires that you build a deck that uses only lands and one other card type of your choice, such as planeswalkers (as shown here) or creatures. If it's in your sideboard and your deck meets the requirements, you can pay {3} to put Umori, or your other companion of choice, into your hand from outside the game at any point. (Note that this is not what's printed on the card; the Companion mechanic was completely rewritten after the printed version was determined to be too powerful and reliable.)

legendofa on What Custom Commander Should I …

All thoughts here are my opinions and points of view, so of they're objectively correct :)

Primus is powerful, but a little generic, in my opinion. It doesn't have any sort of uniqueness that would inspire me to build around it. It's a solid card, though.

For Ganondorf, I see Doubling Season and Forbidden Orchard going wild. Lots of tokens, lots of counters. If this is what you're aiming for, then this is my pick.

It's probably far from optimized, but if you use nothing but creatures in the style of Umori, the Collector, and make a significant number of them artifact creatures and enchantment creatures, you'll be drawing 3 for forever. Dialing it back to include some instants and sorceries won't affect this at all. Is this in line with the intended use?

Do you intend to have more cards with Ion Cubes? As it stands, without significant outside assistance, AL-AN is a 1/1 haste for {1}{U}{R}, a 2/2 haste for {4}{U}{U}{R}{R}, a 3/3 haste for {9}{U}{U}{U}{R}{R}{R}, and so on. The commander tax and recasting far outpaces its own mana production.

If you cast Stonecoil Serpent with X=0 it will enter with 0 +1/+1 counters (unless another effect like Renata, Called to the Hunt makes it enter with a counter). Even though Umori, the Collector lets you pay {0} when you choose x=1, it does not prevent you from choosing x=0. You cannot choose a value less than 0 for X.

I have Umori, the Collector and Rayami, First of the Fallen out and Stonecoil Serpent in hand. I want to have Stonecoil Serpent enter the battlefield with toughness 0, so it does and gets exiled with Rayami's blood counter. Is the Serpent forced to enter with a +1/+1 counter if I cast if for X=0? Is it possible to cast Serpent with X=(-1)?

Mistwalker could be removed, because having too many changeling cards in a tribal deck is never a great idea. A replacement of my choice would be Umori, the Collector.

You can link cards by enclosing them in double brackets.

Umori, the Collector

Grist, the Hunger Tide

Umori should be able to be your companion in this case. The phrasing of the question is interesting though. Did someone tell you that it couldn't?

Hey, this usually doesn't get noticed by people, but you could swap Prey Upon for Blizzard Brawl and swap the basics for Snow-Covered Forests.

I also think Inscription of Abundance should be 4-of... it's too good and versatile.

And maybe 4 Scavenging Ooze since it can just randomly break graveyard decks.

I also don't know if it helps, but Umori, the Collector is an ooze...

And there are some bigger oozes like Aeve, Progenitor Ooze, Biogenic Ooze, Consuming Blob... but i think you'd need more lands to play those, maybe...
