• 8× Put haste on the commander the turn it resolves — a tap ability is unusable otherwise
• 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
• 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
• 2× Answer a spell or ability before it resolves
• 1× Answer a whole board at once
• 14× Refill your hand
