What a Count Nefaria deck wants

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

• 8× Evasion that does NOT target or attach — for a commander your own auras and equipment cannot legally touch
• 32× A cheap spell of any kind — casts per turn are the engine for an unrestricted cast trigger
• 6× Actually remove one problem permanent — preventing its damage is not removing it
• 1× Answer a whole board at once
• 9× Find the exact card the plan needs
• 7× Refill your hand
• 2× Keep a permanent you control alive through removal
• 11× Get ahead on mana
