Could a Origins flip creature/Planeswalker be a commander?
Asked by Mindgrind 9 years ago
A friend of mine had an Idea to create an EDH around the Origins Chandra. Could this happen? Or would Chandra return to the command zone after being exiled? Thanks.

Yes, this works. Flip creatures are legal commanders as long as their front sides are, and it is always your choice whether to have the commander go back to the command zone or to the place it is being sent.

Link all cards in your question.

It's a legal commander, sure. And it will return from exile. You aren't obligated to put your commander in the command zone; you could allow it to go to exile.
In this case, I don't think it matters. The effect doesn't care whether the card goes to exile, it's returned without reference to that zone.
