What an Agent Phil Coulson deck needs

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

• +1/+1 counter producers and payoffs (its text places or reads +1/+1 counters)
• hero creatures (its text counts them)
• haste and untap effects that reach the commander (a tap ability is unusable the turn it lands)

The Agent Phil Coulson deck plan

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

• 8× Put haste on the commander the turn it resolves — a tap ability is unusable otherwise
• 5× Untap the commander so the tap ability is an engine, not a one-shot
• 26× A body of the exact type the commander's trigger requires — the wrong type is worthless here regardless of quality
• 14× 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
