General Tazri

Tazri Ally Type Absence

I will ask this for people who got ticked from thisWhy didn't “Tazri, Stalwart Survivor” have the “Ally” type since the two previous tazri's had the Ally type.

Only General Tazri was an Ally. Tazri, Beacon of Unity mentions “Ally” in its rules text, but she’s a Human Warrior.

5-Color Legend Forecast

What are the chances that we get another 5-color legendary creature in standard, whether WUBRG cost or something like General Tazri?

It will happen again eventually.

Commander Design Consideration

You've said General Tazri was designed in part with the Commander format in mind. Does that format usually come into consideration when legendary creatures are designed?

We think about Commander when we make legendary creatures. Note that there are other audiences for legendary creature beyond Commander players so every legendary creature is not optimized for Commander.

General Tazri Typeline

Is General Tazri not a Soldier for flavor reasons, development reasons, or space-on-the-type-line reasons?

My guess is “space of the card type line” reasons.

Five-Color Commander Intent

So was General Tazri printed with the WUBRG ability cost to deliberately give Allies a five-color commander?

Absolutely.
