What an Annie Flash, the Veteran deck needs
Plays as ETB value. What the commander asks of the other 99 — read from the card and checked by hand.
- ways to return the commander to your hand and recast it (its enter trigger fires only when it was cast — blink does nothing)
- cheap spells and lands to play off its impulse draw (exiled cards must be played that turn)
- self-mill, discard and recursion (the graveyard is a resource its text reads)
- untap effects and ways to tap it — attacking, crewing, convoke (each time it becomes tapped it triggers)
