So, I've been looking at reformatting an old white samurai deck of mine from standard to commander and I'm not sure if I would be able to use Brothers Yamazaki in it if I went with a white/red combo. I have both unique versions of the Brothers cards, so they could be seen as "unique"...
Given all that, could one get away with having the pair of them in a commander deck, or is that a rule the legend-breakers can't get around?

This is purely a talk about it before the game situation.
Personally, playing mono- with Brothers Yamazaki + Brothers Yamazaki|23548 as partners would be a-ok with me.
Playing Brothers Yamazaki + Brothers Yamazaki|23548 as a would get more of an eyebrow raise. If you follow that up with "Samurai Tribal" I'd be fine with that since I know how many of those are . Less enfranchised players might not be though.
If you're playing them in the 99, I'd just go with clone effects instead of the hassle of trying to explain that you have two of them.

Thanks for the feedback folks. The Brothers Yamazaki isn't essential to the build of the deck, planning on having Akiri, Fearless Voyager as the commander, and one of the few non samurai cards in the deck. Sense Golden-Tail can make up for the normies loo
