What Apothecary White actually does

What an Apothecary White deck needs

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

• artifact and Treasure payoffs (it makes Treasures, Clues or Food on repeat)
• token payoffs — anthems, sacrifice outlets and go-wide finishers (it makes tokens on repeat)
• haste and untap effects that reach the commander (a tap ability is unusable the turn it lands)
• a wide board that attacks every turn (the trigger fires on the attack)

The Apothecary White deck plan

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

• 11× Put haste on the commander the turn it resolves — a tap ability is unusable otherwise
• 8× Untap the commander so the tap ability is an engine, not a one-shot
• 15× Make creature tokens — a static anthem or a go-wide commander needs a board to be wide
• 7× A team pump that actually pumps tokens
• 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

Best cards for Apothecary White

Ranked by an engine that reads what each card does — its real cost, its delay and how reliably it works — rather than counting how often other people play it.
