What an Armix, Filigree Thrasher 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)
• self-mill, discard and recursion (the graveyard is a resource its text reads)
• haste, evasion and protection for the commander, and extra combats (its own attack is the engine)

The Armix, Filigree Thrasher 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 your own cards into your graveyard as a resource
• 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
