Partners are rather interesting in EDH, since they give you incredible flexibility in what you deck can do and which colors it can have. Companions are almost like a second commander, but have extremey rigid deckbuilding restrictions.
The challenge? Build a commander deck with partners as commanders and use a companion.
Lutri and Yorion don't work, and there is no Gruul companion, since Jegantha, the Sellspring is 5c. Good luck!

Umori, all creatures. Cheating other spell types in through Adventure cards and such

Oooh I tried this with Jeska and Vial Smasher w/ Obosh as companion, going for a really explosive group slug/burn-y rakdos deck, but building with the companion restrictions meant I lost, like, half my card pool! I thought Obosh'd be one of the easier companions to build around but it turns out there are good cards with CMC 2, who knew?

Haven't tested it at all, but [[Vial Smasher the Fierce]] (https://cards.deckstats.net/magiccard.php?utf8=1&lng=en&card=Vial+Smasher+the+Fierce) and [[Alena, Kessig]] (https://cards.deckstats.net/magiccard.php?utf8=1&lng=en&card=Alena%2C+Kessig) with [[Obosh, the preypiercer]] (https://cards.deckstats.net/magiccard.php?utf8=1&lng=en&card=Obosh%2C+the+preypiercer) with a deck focused on casting [[dragon's approach]] (https://cards.deckstats.net/magiccard.php?utf8=1&lng=en&card=dragon%27s+approach) a few times to get a dragon and repeat with Alena.

Ooh, these look neat! I'm working on a Reyhan, Last of the Abzan (https://cards.deckstats.net/magiccard.php?utf8=1&lng=en&card=Reyhan%2C+Last+of+the+Abzan) / Jeska, Thrice Reborn (https://cards.deckstats.net/magiccard.php?utf8=1&lng=en&card=Jeska%2C+Thrice+Reborn) list with Obosh, the Preypiercer (https://cards.deckstats.net/magiccard.php?utf8=1&lng=en&card=Obosh%2C+the+Preypiercer) +1/+1 counters list that I'll post here when I'm done.

This is a sweet idea.
Think I might brew Tormod, the Desecrator (https://cards.deckstats.net/magiccard.php?utf8=1&lng=en&card=Tormod%2C+the+Desecrator) and Sakashima of a Thousand Faces (https://cards.deckstats.net/magiccard.php?utf8=1&lng=en&card=Sakashima+of+a+Thousand+Faces) with Gyruda, Doom of Depths (https://cards.deckstats.net/magiccard.php?utf8=1&lng=en&card=Gyruda%2C+Doom+of+Depths) as companion.
Dimir graveyard shite is my kind of jelly.

I thought I'd make a quick budget list for the challenge.

Damn. I was working on that one. Alright, I'll figure out something else.

Ah no worries, I haven't even started and don't know if / when I'll get time at the moment. Please, feel free to continue with your build.
I've also got my eye on something with Lurrus.
-
So far, every companion besides Kaheera and Zirda have been brewed.
Just realized that Jegantha is impossible to do in this challenge, since you can's get a 5c commander with partners. Lurrus is also undoable, since there are only 3 commanders that work with Lurrus and none of them are partners.
Who will try a Anara, Wolvid Familiar (https://cards.deckstats.net/magiccard.php?utf8=1&lng=en&card=Anara%2C+Wolvid+Familiar) deck with Kaheera. And which madlad will take on Alena/Prava/Zirda?
-
Lurrus can use Akiri, line slinger (https://cards.deckstats.net/magiccard.php?utf8=1&lng=en&card=Akiri%2C+Line-Slinger) and Miara, Thorn of the Glade (https://cards.deckstats.net/magiccard.php?utf8=1&lng=en&card=Miara%2C+Thorn+of+the+Glade) if I'm not mistaken?

Yes that works. I had short-listed a few choices before going with Gyruda+Sakashima+Tormod. Maybe this will inspire some of you.
Kaheera with Prava and Anara
Lurrus with Miara and Livio
Zirda with Alena/Jeska and Livio/Prava/Radiant
Zirda with Brallin and Shabraz
Obosh with Jeska and Reyhan/Tymna/Ravos/Vial Smasher
Gyruda with Glacian/Sakashima and Miara/Tormod

Lurrus actually is possible with [[Miara]] (https://cards.deckstats.net/magiccard.php?utf8=1&lng=en&card=Miara) and [[akiri line-slinger]] (https://cards.deckstats.net/magiccard.php?utf8=1&lng=en&card=akiri+line-slinger).
-
Lurrus also works with [[keleth]] (https://cards.deckstats.net/magiccard.php?utf8=1&lng=en&card=keleth) and miara. Probably not great however

Here's my list. Definitely could be improved, but the curve makes me laugh.
Reyhan, Last of the Abzan (https://cards.deckstats.net/magiccard.php?utf8=1&lng=en&card=Reyhan%2C+Last+of+the+Abzan) / Jeska, Thrice Reborn (https://cards.deckstats.net/magiccard.php?utf8=1&lng=en&card=Jeska%2C+Thrice+Reborn) +1/+1 counters with Obosh, the Preypiercer (https://cards.deckstats.net/magiccard.php?utf8=1&lng=en&card=Obosh%2C+the+Preypiercer)

Here's my list! Keruga big shit! That's all the explanation it needs!

Since I'm a bit busy I'm just going to post this deck I made a while ago. The rules didn't specify this deck should be purposefully made for this challenge so I hope this is ok.
The deck revolves around damage multipliers, fast aggro and tempo with some removal. It shines in 1v1 where I've played it but I assume it's not half bad in multiplayer either.

Probably the wrong thread, but this is related to companions. Is it possible to use Umori as companion, using only sorceries, with Blex, Vexing Pest (https://cards.deckstats.net/magiccard.php?utf8=1&lng=en&card=Blex%2C+Vexing+Pest) as your commander?

I'd allow it, just to see what sort of deck that'd be, but the rules say no.
711.4a While a double-faced card is outside the game or in a zone other than the battlefield or stack, it has only the characteristics of its front face.
-
The deckstats companion checker allows it, but it doesn’t work, so that sucks. Either report this bug or yell at the Rules Committee and WoTC to change the rule for Umori. I want Blex Oops! All sorceries to be a thing.
