Eluge, the Shoreless Sea

Legendary Creature — Elemental Fish · {1}{U}{U}{U} · Blue commander

Eluge's power and toughness are each equal to the number of Islands you control. Whenever Eluge enters or attacks, put a flood counter on target land. It's an Island in addition to its other types for as long as it has a flood counter on it. The first instant or sorcery spell you cast each turn costs {U} (or {1}) less to cast for each land you control with a flood counter on it.

What an Eluge, the Shoreless Sea deck wants

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

• 6× Exile a permanent you control and return it — the button a value-ETB deck presses
• 20× Instants and sorceries — for a magecraft/prowess commander the spell COUNT is the engine
• 10× Make creature tokens — a static anthem or a go-wide commander needs a board to be wide
• 22× Instants and sorceries — for a magecraft/prowess commander the spell COUNT is the engine
• 8× A permanent whose value is in its enter-the-battlefield trigger — the payload a blink deck reuses
• 5× Actually remove one problem permanent — preventing its damage is not removing it
• 1× Answer a whole board at once
• 2× Answer a spell or ability before it resolves
• 9× Find the exact card the plan needs
