What a Calix, Guided by Fate deck wants

The plan the Forge derives for this commander: the roles it fills and how many of each.

• 6× Make the commander connect — a body that never deals combat damage never triggers
• 6× Exile a permanent you control and return it — the button a value-ETB deck presses
• 12× A permanent whose value is in its enter-the-battlefield trigger — the payload a blink deck reuses
• 16× A creature that HAS the keyword the commander's trigger counts — a card that merely says the word is not one
• 22× A permanent of the exact NON-creature type the commander counts — artifacts for an artifact commander, enchantments for an enchantress
• 14× Equipment and Auras — the things a suit-up commander's trigger and plan are actually made of
• 8× A permanent whose value is in its enter-the-battlefield trigger — the payload a blink deck reuses
• 4× A team pump that actually pumps tokens
• 14× Put +1/+1 counters on creatures you control, or multiply the ones already there
