Aang, at the Crossroads // Aang, Destined Savior

Legendary Creature — Human Avatar Ally // Legendary Creature — Avatar Ally · {2}{G}{W}{U} · Green/Blue/White commander

Flying When Aang enters, look at the top five cards of your library. You may put a creature card with mana value 4 or less from among them onto the battlefield. Put the rest on the bottom of your library in a random order. When another creature you control leaves the battlefield, transform Aang at the beginning of the next upkeep. Flying Land creatures you control have vigilance. At the beginning of combat on your turn, earthbend 2. (Target land you control becomes a 0/0 creature with haste that's still a land. Put two +1/+1 counters on it. When it dies or is exiled, return it to the battlefield tapped.)

What an Aang, at the Crossroads // Aang, Destined Savior deck wants

The plan the Forge derives for this commander: the roles it fills and how many of each.

• 6× Exile a permanent you control and return it — the button a value-ETB deck presses
• 16× A creature that HAS the keyword the commander's trigger counts — a card that merely says the word is not one
• 8× A permanent whose own trigger fires on attacking — the fuel an attack-trigger doubler multiplies, and the payoff an attack commander wants beside it
• 8× A permanent whose value is in its enter-the-battlefield trigger — the payload a blink deck reuses
• 8× Make creature tokens — a static anthem or a go-wide commander needs a board to be wide
• 5× Actually remove one problem permanent — preventing its damage is not removing it
• 1× Answer a whole board at once
• 2× Answer a spell or ability before it resolves
• 9× Find the exact card the plan needs
