Lurrus of the Dream-Den

I have virtually no experience playing with Lurrus, and so I'm asking people here who would know their opinions:

If you could trade having Lurrus in the Command Zone to have him as a your Companion instead, in exchange for having access to Red, would you?

Because now you can.

Miara, Thorn of the Glade and Akiri, Line-Slinger accomplish this. Unfortunately, I am quite certain that (as of now) this is the only way to play Lurrus with more than 2 colors.

(I'm not so much interested in how exactly the deck would be built so much as just would it be worth it).

Nice! This opens Vessel of Volatility, as a repeatable Ritual

Well.... maybe in cEDH it could work. There, you can reasonably play, sac, and replay a lot of high power cards in ways that would be too good for casual tables.

A deck is definitely possible with some focus on akiri, Miara on the other hand is likely going to just be a chump blocker and a black splash for akiri. The capsule cycle is decent with lurus, but your prob gonna get the best value using lurus to reuse fast mana/rituals for an explosive turn.
