So when war of the spark came out I thought all of the uncommon planeswalkers (with the exception of maybe Narset lol) would have been fun if they had partner and can be your commander. So I thought of a partner like mechanic that I thought could be fun.
Team Up
As long as CARDNAME is your commander you may also have (other specific creature or planeswalker) as your commander or another commander with team up.
Here is a couple of musings I have created with this mechanic.
Tovolar Mondronen 4RR
Legendary Creature - Werewolf
Whenever one or more +1/+1 counters are placed on a creature you control you may have it fight target creature an opponent controls. If that creature is a werewolf transform it.
Team Up: Arlin, Voice of the Pack
4/5
Dread Crew 3UB
Legendary Creature - Pirate Army
Dread Crew enters the battlefield with a number of +1/+1 counters on it equal to the amount of mana spent to cast it.
Whenever a player casts a spell, remove a +1/+1 counter from Dread Crew. If you do, create a 2/2 black Zombie Pirate creature token.
Team Up: Angrath, Captain of Chaos
0/0
Cacophony God of Cities 1BR
Legendary Creature - Nightmare God
Indestructible
Cacophony, God of Cities can’t attack or block unless there are seven or more creatures in exile.
Team Up: Ashiok, Dream Render
5/5
I'll probably go through all of the uncommon walkers and possibly the Nephalim, but wanted to see what people thought.

Embrace the dark you call a home,
Gaze upon an empty, white throne
A legacy of lies,
A familiar disguise
Sing with me a song of conquest and fate
The black pillar cracks beneath its weight
Night breaks through the day, hard as a stone
Lost in thoughts all alone
I'm not 100% certain I understand team up. My assumption is you would want it to function kind of like Oathbreaker except an ally creature instead of a signature spell. However the wording on your ability is confusing. Can you have as many teap up cards as there are printed with the specific Walker? Or is it just letting you have a second commander that is the one named in team up? The "or another commander with team up" is really confusing.
The concept is neat. A few critiques. Trovolar should transform them before the fight. Dread Crew doesn't fit flavor fully with Angrath; his stchik in war was he was using his chains to grab externals which is why he Amassed, he has nothing to do with necromancy which is what this card is implying. Cacophony, I love me a nightmare God. It feels wrong not being an enchantment. It would then not be a creature unless you had 7 creatures in exile which would be a nice way of showing Ashiok faking devotion.

I'm trying to keep it a little open-ended for deckbuilding purposes. A lot of flack I've heard from the partners in Battlebond is that they don't give you as much creative choice as the original partners did so this was a way of allowing you to have synergy with a specific commander while also allowing you to have freedom in choice basically getting the best of both times we got partner. The idea is you get two commanders. One of them could be the named card or another team up card. For example Tovolar can be teamed up with Arlin or Dread Crew. I don't know maybe there is a cleaner way of saying it or maybe it should be more in the realm of the battlebond partners.

So I think my problem is that I'm trying to help marry pirate tribal and the amass tribal. All of the amass payoffs are centered around zombie tokens and not necessarily around being an army. The idea in my head isn't really vorthosy, but it's not that he is raising them from the dead, but they are cursed kind of like in pirates of the caribean.
Cacophony, I love me a nightmare God. It feels wrong not being an enchantment. It would then not be a creature unless you had 7 creatures in exile which would be a nice way of showing Ashiok faking devotion.
Unfortunately, this was more of a logistics problem. With the type line Legendary Enchantment Creature - Nightmare God is a lot to fit in the space. So I had to choose wether to have it be an enchantment or a nightmare and I thought being a nightmare was more important.
