The Ur-Dragon has to be on the field.

Acolyte of Bahamut gives the ability to your commander, so when he is on the field THEN you get the discount on dragons.

This particular example might be a little bit more confusing because The Ur-Dragon has an eminence ability which works when the commander is in the command zone. However, eminence only applies to that specific ability, not any additional ones the card may have (like The Ur-Dragon's last ability.
