In Commander, you cast the commander from the Command Zone, so that would not trigger Wild Pair since it only triggers if you cast a creature from your hand, correct?

Correct. The "if you cast it from your hand" condition will not be true if you cast it from some other zone (or didn't cast it at all).
400.7c An ability of a permanent can reference information about the spell that became that
permanent, including what costs were paid to cast that spell or what mana was spent to pay
those costs.
603.4. A triggered ability may read “When/Whenever/At [trigger event], if [condition], [effect].” When
the trigger event occurs, the ability checks whether the stated condition is true. The ability triggers
only if it is; otherwise it does nothing. If the ability triggers, it checks the stated condition again as it
resolves. If the condition isn’t true at that time, the ability is removed from the stack and does
nothing. Note that this mirrors the check for legal targets. This rule is referred to as the “intervening
‘if’ clause” rule. (The word “if” has only its normal English meaning anywhere else in the text of a
card; this rule only applies to an “if” that immediately follows a trigger condition.)

Why bother with mere rulings when so many answers can be found in the Rules?
