{"ops":[{"insert":"Companion was added as a keyword back in Ikoria: Lair of Behemoths on a cycle of ten cards, including "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Lurrus of the Dream-Den"}},{"insert":", "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Jegantha, the Wellspring"}},{"insert":", and "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Gyruda, Doom of Depths"}},{"insert":" . The ability on each card lists a deckbuilding rule. If your starting deck follows that rule, then that creature can serve as your chosen Companion, beginning outside of the game. Once per game at sorcery speed, you can pay 3 colorless to put your Companion into your hand. \n\nThe Companion mechanic has been controversial to say the least, with "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Lutri, the Spellchaser"}},{"insert":" being banned from Commander before its release and the mechanic as a whole being nerfed due to its power level in a multitude of formats (initially, you played your Companion directly from your sideboard without needing to pay 3 to put it in your hand). While the likelihood of new Companions being made seems low, those that do exist remain popular in formats like Modern, Legacy and Commander. \n\nThis proposed feature would allow you to set a card as your chosen Companion. From this Companion category (located \"out of deck\" like a sideboard), the builder would perform a legality check to ensure the Companion's unique deckbuilding rule is being met. \n\nIf this proposed feature is of interest to you, give the thread a thumbs-up and leave your thoughts below! User interest in each feature will help us prioritize in development.\n\nEdit: Implemented February 16, 2022"},{"attributes":{"header":3},"insert":"\n"},{"insert":"Details: "},{"attributes":{"link":"https://archidekt.com/news/2377839/1"},"insert":"https://archidekt.com/news/2377839/1"},{"insert":"\n"}]}

{"ops":[{"insert":"This would be neat, but I think less important than something like deck change log. I have several companion decks, but mostly do my companion checking before it hits archidekt. \n"}]}

{"ops":[{"insert":"Would it be confusing to display a card that lives in your sideboard in a separate area, altering sideboard count? Would it be better to make this a setting on a card's details tile instead? See yellow section of image below for example.\n\n"},{"insert":{"image":"https://i.imgur.com/KllwoBw.png"}},{"insert":"\n"}]}
