What a Dargo, the Shipwrecker deck wants
The plan the Forge derives for this commander: the roles it fills and how many of each.
- 6× Evasion that does NOT target or attach — for a commander your own auras and equipment cannot legally touch
- 17× A cheap spell of any kind — casts per turn are the engine for an unrestricted cast trigger
- 18× Creatures you are happy to sacrifice — a free sac outlet on the commander is worthless with nothing to feed it
- 5× 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
