What a Fíli and Kíli, Joyous deck wants

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

• 9× Put haste on the commander the turn it resolves — a tap ability is unusable otherwise
• 6× Untap the commander so the tap ability is an engine, not a one-shot
• 26× A body of the exact type the commander's trigger requires — the wrong type is worthless here regardless of quality
• 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
