What an Anje Falkenrath deck needs
Plays as self-discard. What the commander asks of the other 99 — read from the card and checked by hand.
- looting and discard outlets (it rewards your own discards)
- cards with madness (its trigger only counts them)
- untap effects that reach the commander (it has haste; each untap repeats its tap ability)
