What a Fin Fang Foom deck wants

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

• 12× A permanent whose value is in its enter-the-battlefield trigger — the payload a blink deck reuses
• 20× A card that is CAST to trigger the commander — reanimating or blinking it does not count
• 22× Instants and sorceries — for a magecraft/prowess commander the spell COUNT is the engine
• 14× Put +1/+1 counters on creatures you control, or multiply the ones already there
• 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
