Zirda, the Dawnwaker
Legendary Creature — Elemental Fox
Companion — Each permanent card in your starting deck must have an activated ability. (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 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.)
Abilities you activate that aren't mana abilities cost less to activate. This effect can't reduce the mana in that cost less than one mana.
, : Target creature can't block this turn.

Dryad Arbor is being shown as illegal when in a naya deck with Zirda, the Dawnwaker as the companion.

Hello y'all,
I'm still working on my Zirda, the Dawnwaker concept deck (Happy Sweatshop Workers). My wincons are:
-
combat by generating alot of tokens:Crash the Party, Devout Invocation
-
burn with Burn at the Stake
My game plan is to flood the board with small value generating creatures and then, later on in the game turning them into big payoff cards such as the ones mentioned above. However, after doing extensive research I couldn't find that many finishers. I'm sure I have overlooked some things and I am hoping you might be able to suggest some cards or strategies.
Thank you!

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.

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.

I basically have a boros version of this. I like your version quite a bit, though. What boros has as an argument is Zenith Flare as a pretty cheap top-end finisher. Even though this obviously wouldn't work here, let me remind you that Zirda, the Dawnwaker is basically a free companion for the deck that still reduces the cycling cost of 22 of your cards. Not bad, I guess. Also, Forever Young could easily replace Reaping the Graves. It's cheaper and reloads your deck for a massive cycling turn.

This is a little complicated because I run Zirda, the Dawnwaker, but say I have a General's Regalia, Furnace of Rath and Jade Monolith in play with a bunch of mana free. Something I own deals damage to myself like tapping a Ancient Tomb, and I redirect it to one of my creatures like Boros Reckoner, can I then tap 1 each time the damage is redirected to keep exponentially increasing the damage till I shoot a player for lethal?

Icbrgr the two pieces you named are banned because of their interaction with other cards, that aren't legal in Modern or Pioneer.
If Basalt Monolith
was legal in Modern or Pioneer, Zirda, the Dawnwaker would be banned there too. Same goes for Brainstorm and Dreadhorde Arcanist.
Uro is banned because it doesn't actually need any other cards to be constant value, a late-game & recurring threat, and repeated lifegain to hose most aggro strategies. Because the presence of the card by itself distorts the metagame around it, you need to either be playing Uro, or have a plan to combat Uro, or your deck is not viable at all. That's what format warping means.

Legacy is just built different lol using it as a measurement for how good something is just isn't reliable. can't even play Dreadhorde Arcanist or Zirda, the Dawnwaker there yet neither really are staples for pioneer or modern exactly.
Nevertheless no worries you did just fine articulating your opinion on if uro could return... I really would laugh though if uro joined in on boros energy, it would just feel really ironic... at least they would have to work for it with having to include instead of the glory of the one ring being colorless.
