Can a creature with the Companion mechanic be both Commander and Companion for an EDH deck?

Asked by nhhale 2 months ago

…Given the deck meets the necessary condition to have that companion?

Also to clarify I don’t mean that that card occupies both roles, I mean I have 2 of the same card, one acting as Commander, the other as Companion.

Bonus question: if true, is there anything silly you could pull of with a deck like this that comes to mind?

No, one can't run one copy as companion and one copy of the same as commander. The singleton rule applies to every card except for those with rules saying otherwise (Shadowborn Apostle, Persistent Petitioners, Slime Against Humanity, etc.). This would include any companions and any rule 0'd in sideboards/wishboards.

Well I mean you can rule 0 whatever you want.
