can you use a ledgendary creature/planeswalker as a commander?

Asked by rog0325 2 years ago

example: Jace, Vryn's Prodigy // Jace, Telepath Unbound

if the legendary creature side is my commander (if its allowed) am i also allowed to transform it under the correct terms or does it have to stay in legendary creature form

i intended to link the card Jace, Vryn's Prodigy // Jace, Telepath Unbound, not the deck

Yes, Jace, Vryn's Prodigy  Flip is a creature card when it is not flipped and on the battlefield, so it is a legal option for a commander.

ok. but if i flip it and it gets destroyed in planeswalker form, does it return to the command zone or am i not allowed to flip it?

The 'Commanderness' of a card is intrinsic to that card, and always exists.

So even flipped, it is still a Commander, much like if somebody had turned it into a Forest with Song of the Dryads . When it dies/is exiled/tucked/etc... you will be able to return it to your Command Zone.
