What a Catti-brie of Mithral Hall deck needs

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

• counter doublers and proliferate (it grows only itself with +1/+1 counters)
• auras and equipment worth moving, and bodies to carry them (its text attaches or counts them)
• haste, evasion and protection for the commander, and extra combats (its own attack is the engine)

The Catti-brie of Mithral Hall deck plan

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

• 16× Equipment and Auras — the things a suit-up commander's trigger and plan are actually made of
• 6× Put haste on the commander the turn it resolves — a tap ability is unusable otherwise
• 4× Make the commander connect — a body that never deals combat damage never triggers
• 11× Keep a permanent you control alive through removal
• 6× Put +1/+1 counters on creatures you control, or multiply the ones already there
• 10× A permanent of the exact NON-creature type the commander counts — artifacts for an artifact commander, enchantments for an enchantress
• 2× A card that pays off the permanent type the deck is made of — cast triggers, "for each artifact", cost cutters
• 4× Actually remove one problem permanent — preventing its damage is not removing it
• 8× Find the exact card the plan needs
