How it works : Lurrus of the Dream-Den
Original English text — Wizards of the Coast / Scryfall
- #1· Scryfall
Once you put your companion into your hand, it behaves like any other card you’ve brought into the game. For example, if it’s countered or destroyed, it’s put into your graveyard, remaining in the game.
No other card is named in this ruling.
- #2· Scryfall
Wizards of the Coast has issued functional errata for the Companion mechanic. Instead of casting companions from outside the game: Once per game, any time you could cast a sorcery (during your main phase when the stack is empty), you can pay
to put your companion from your sideboard into your hand. This is a special action, not an activated ability. It happens immediately and can’t be responded to. It can’t be countered or stopped by cards like Phyrexian Revoker. For more information please see https://magic.wizards.com/en/articles/archive/news/june-1-2020-banned-and-restricted-announcement

- #3· Wizards of the Coast
If you reveal a companion outside the game, for as long as it remains there, you may pay
any time you could cast a sorcery (that is, you have priority during your main phase and the stack is empty). Once you do, you put it into your hand and behaves like any other card you've brought into the game. For example, if it's discarded, countered, or destroyed, it's put into your graveyard, remaining in the game. This is a change from previous rules.
No other card is named in this ruling.
- #4· Wizards of the Coast

Lurrus doesn't let you play lands from your graveyard.
No other card is named in this ruling.

Your companion begins the game outside the game. In tournament play, this means your sideboard. In casual play, it's simply a card you own that's not in your starting deck.
No other card is named in this ruling.
- #16· Wizards of the Coast
Before shuffling your deck to become your library, you may reveal one card from outside the game to be your companion if your starting deck meets the requirements of the companion ability. You can't reveal more than one. It remains revealed outside the game as the game begins.

- #17· Wizards of the Coast
The requirements of the companion ability apply only to your starting deck. They do not apply to your sideboard.
No other card is named in this ruling.
- #18· Wizards of the Coast

No other card is named in this ruling.
- #19· Wizards of the Coast
If you reveal a companion outside the game, for as long as it remains there, you may pay
any time you could cast a sorcery (that is, you have priority during your main phase and the stack is empty).
