Jegantha, the Wellspring card art
Jegantha, the Wellspring puts a 5/5 body on the battlefield that taps for one of each color — effectively a mana ability that pays for itself in any five-color shell. Commanders like Horde of Notions and Ashling, the Limitless run it not for novelty but because five mana of any color, on demand, is a real resource.

Jegantha, the Wellspring carries two restrictions that matter: its companion condition bars any deck running a card with a repeated mana symbol in its cost (think Cryptic Command, Arcbound Ravager, or most X-spells), and the companion rules tax you three mana to move it from the sideboard to hand. Both bans in Modern and Pioneer reflect how oppressively cheap the companion tax was before the rules change — paying three extra mana for a guaranteed fifth card in hand was still a free roll in those formats. Commander gives Jegantha a genuine pass on both counts: the format skews toward monocolored or dual-pip costs naturally, five-color decks are built to avoid the restriction anyway, and the slower pace makes the tap-for-WUBRG ability a repeatable engine rather than a one-off luxury.
