What a Bullseye, Death Dealer deck needs
Plays as aristocrats. What the commander asks of the other 99 — read from the card and checked by hand.
- artifacts (its text counts them)
- cheap artifacts, Treasures and tokens to sacrifice (the commander's outlet eats artifacts, not creatures)
- blink and recursion aimed at the commander itself (its value is its own enter trigger)
- mana rocks and dorks beyond the curve (its ability turns spare mana into value)
- haste and untap effects that reach the commander (a tap ability is unusable the turn it lands)
The Bullseye, Death Dealer deck plan
The roles the Forge fills for this commander, and how many cards of each.
- 8× Put haste on the commander the turn it resolves — a tap ability is unusable otherwise
- 6× Exile a permanent you control and return it — the button a value-ETB deck presses
- 5× Untap the commander so the tap ability is an engine, not a one-shot
- 22× A permanent of the exact NON-creature type the commander counts — artifacts for an artifact commander, enchantments for an enchantress
- 8× A permanent whose value is in its enter-the-battlefield trigger — the payload a blink deck reuses
- 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
