The roles the Forge fills for this commander, and how many cards of each.
- 12× Equipment and Auras — the things a suit-up commander's trigger and plan are actually made of

- 6× Put your own cards into your graveyard as a resource
- 5× Make the commander connect — a body that never deals combat damage never triggers
