The Azor, the Lawbringer deck plan

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

• 7× Put haste on the commander the turn it resolves — a tap ability is unusable otherwise
• 7× Exile a permanent you control and return it — the button a value-ETB deck presses
• 5× Evasion that does NOT target or attach — for a commander your own auras and equipment cannot legally touch
• 9× A permanent whose value is in its enter-the-battlefield trigger — the payload a blink deck reuses
• 5× 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
• 2× Answer a spell or ability before it resolves
• 1× Answer a whole board at once
