The Astrid Peth deck plan

- 8× Exile a permanent you control and return it — the button a value-ETB deck presses
- 10× A permanent whose value is in its enter-the-battlefield trigger — the payload a blink deck reuses
- 7× Make the commander connect — a body that never deals combat damage never triggers
- 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
