What an Ace, Fearless Rebel deck needs

Plays as combat trigger. What the commander asks of the other 99 — read from the card and checked by hand.

• artifacts (its text counts them)
• cheap artifacts, Treasures and tokens to sacrifice (the commander's outlet eats artifacts, not creatures)
• counter doublers and proliferate (it grows only itself with +1/+1 counters)
• haste, evasion and protection for the commander, and extra combats (its own attack is the engine)

The Ace, Fearless Rebel deck plan

The roles the Forge fills for this commander, and how many cards of each.

• 6× Put haste on the commander the turn it resolves — a tap ability is unusable otherwise
• 22× A permanent of the exact NON-creature type the commander counts — artifacts for an artifact commander, enchantments for an enchantress
• 4× Make the commander connect — a body that never deals combat damage never triggers
• 6× Put +1/+1 counters on creatures you control, or multiply the ones already there
• 5× Actually remove one problem permanent — preventing its damage is not removing it
• 9× Find the exact card the plan needs
• 1× Answer a whole board at once
• 7× Refill your hand
• 2× Keep a permanent you control alive through removal
