What a Black Panther, Wakandan King deck needs
Plays as counters. What the commander asks of the other 99 — read from the card and checked by hand.
- creatures and permanents entering every turn — cheap bodies, blink and recursion (its trigger fires on each one)
- +1/+1 counter producers and payoffs (its text places or reads +1/+1 counters)
- mana rocks and dorks beyond the curve (its ability turns spare mana into value)
The Black Panther, Wakandan King deck plan
The roles the Forge fills for this commander, and how many cards of each.

- 14× Put +1/+1 counters on creatures you control, or multiply the ones already there
- 6× Exile a permanent you control and return it — the button a value-ETB deck presses
- 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
