The Dargo, the Shipwrecker deck plan
The roles the Forge fills for this commander, and how many cards of each.
- 8× Evasion that does NOT target or attach — for a commander your own auras and equipment cannot legally touch
- 10× A permanent of the exact NON-creature type the commander counts — artifacts for an artifact commander, enchantments for an enchantress
- 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
- 2× Keep a permanent you control alive through removal
- 11× Get ahead on mana
- 12× Creatures you are happy to sacrifice — a free sac outlet on the commander is worthless with nothing to feed it
