What a Felothar the Steadfast deck wants
The plan the Forge derives for this commander: the roles it fills and how many of each.
- 12× Put haste on the commander the turn it resolves — a tap ability is unusable otherwise
- 9× Untap the commander so the tap ability is an engine, not a one-shot
- 20× 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
