I'm loving these partner legends. Like the GUB one this one is bit lop sided in power but still work great together and open up newer deck directions.

“There are no weak Jews. I am descended from those who wrestle angels and kill giants. We were chosen by God. You were chosen by a pathetic little man who can't seem to grow a full mustache"
"You can tell how dumb someone is by how they use Mary Sue"
Not sure if I like the fact Haldan is useless without Pako, but it's both a Temur spells matter Commander and a steal-your-stuff Commander without B, so even if I don't fully appreciate the design, I do love the fact those two exist.
And that’s a first they secretly made haldan a vanilla legednary without his dog
That was my first thought, that Haldan was basically vanilla without the pup, but couldn't say for sure it was the first time we'd seen this. Given how powerful the effect is I don't mind but its be a little weird.
For me, what makes this pair is that you can use lands exiled in this way... and that you get he +1/+1 counters for said lands.
Also, this duo is surprisingly resilient. Even if they kill Haldan, you can play it later and still have access to fetched cards. Even if they kill Pako, the good boy has haste so you can resume fetching the moment it hits the battlefield again.

I think its trying to make them really worth playing as partners and not as much apart, as well as trying to not feel as if your have two powerful commanders with a 98 deck.

Oh good catch it does say play rather than cast and doesn’t say spell
So unlike the other partners thus far, they are pretty much useless apart, but like people have been pointing out they at least were designed to not lose value if one or both of them die. They can go right back to it and you can still play stuff exiled before.
They're going right into my Intet deck, the flavor here is really cute and nobody can resist a person and their good boy plating fetch.

In fact, I specifically appreciate that you don't need to have them both in play at the same time for maximum value.
The problem with defining this format by what is "fun" is that everyone seems to define fun as what they don't lose to. If you keep losing to easily answered cards, that means you should improve your deck. If you don't want to improve your deck, then you should come to peace with the idea that you are going to lose because you chose to not interact with better strategies.
Although these cards don’t interest me, I really have to hand it to the artist for their use of colors here. So balmy and vibrant. Especially the blues. I love how striking the art is for these
What I like most is how this can be a pako voltron deck with some late game backup. Lots of ramp, some control and a backup wincon and you are set. Seems like a fun dekc to just mash together and play.
Whiling to bet everyone who attacks with pako’s is gonna say “go fetch boy”

I hate to say this but I think this is the theft theme people have Ben waiting for
This is where you’re putting cards like Stolen Strategy and Etali, Primal Storm.

So you can infact fetch lands with the dog
