Can someone tell me why my deck is not legal?

I'm pretty new to magic and started to build a deck Kenrith the cycled King which seems to be not legal. I already checked the illegal cards on the mtg site. However none of the cards in my deck appear to be on that list. I am abit confused about this so help is appreciated.

Thanks for your help

it seems to be highlighting the cards that don't fit the condition set by your companion. so another way to put it is that your deck is legal if you didn't have that companion.

aholder7 thank you for the help. I removed the companion and now it seems to be legal but i lack understanding of how this came to be. I plan to get the physical cards but does this mean i cannot put zirda into the deck?

Coronoro for a deck to be able to have a companion, said deck must fit the requirements specified on the card. On Zirda, the Dawnwaker, she says that you may only play permanents with activated abilities. That means no Rhystic Study, et cetera, sorry :(

Omniscience_is_life thank you for the explanation. I didnt saw the text as a requiremen but it makes perfectly sense now.

To be clear: If you do not meet the companion's requirements, you CAN play Zirda in the deck, you just can NOT play Zirda as a companion.

This is the sort of reason why I add additional clarification on tappedout's card pages. Every little bit helps.
