What a Bladewing, Deathless Tyrant deck needs

Plays as combat trigger. What the commander asks of the other 99 — read from the card and checked by hand.

• self-mill, discard and recursion (the graveyard is a resource its text reads)
• token payoffs — anthems, sacrifice outlets and go-wide finishers (it makes tokens on repeat)
• evasion and protection for the commander (the trigger needs its combat damage to connect)

The Bladewing, Deathless Tyrant deck plan

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

• 8× Make the commander connect — a body that never deals combat damage never triggers
• 6× Evasion that does NOT target or attach — for a commander your own auras and equipment cannot legally touch
• 13× Make creature tokens — a static anthem or a go-wide commander needs a board to be wide
• 8× Put your own cards into your graveyard as a resource
• 6× A team pump that actually pumps tokens
• 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
