I’m not going to say you’re wrong about miirym being better for a commander than the ur-dragon. But your reasoning for it is off. 1. You spend an entire turn trying to cast it. That’s the same as miirym. If your argument is you don’t get to do any thing with it because it costs so much, miirym doesn’t do any thing unless you cast it AND a second dragon on the same turn, which is most often more mana than the single ur dragon. The ur dragon doesn’t need to wait to untap to get value, when on the board, its reducing your dragons spells by 1 and your getting all of the attack triggers when your dragons attack the same turn the ur dragon hits the board. For myself, and literally every other pilot I’ve seen of a the ur dragon deck, we never really want to cast our commander. This puts it at risk to having something far worse than killing, exiling, or tucking happening to it. A dark steel mutation for example. 2. Playing against either a miirym deck or an ur dragon deck, if I can only remove one of them, I’m taking out the miirym. I can’t say with any degree of certainty that most people would make that choice, but I’m almost positive it’s the right one in most cases all things being equal.
I literally just built this commander. Just want to put an ancient copper in there
