• extra-combat payoffs

The Aurelia, the Warleader deck plan

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

• 14× A permanent whose own trigger fires on attacking — the fuel an attack-trigger doubler multiplies, and the payoff an attack commander wants beside it
• 12× Make creature tokens — a static anthem or a go-wide commander needs a board to be wide
• 6× 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
• 6× Keep a permanent you control alive through removal
• 11× Get ahead on mana
