What a Fire Lord Azula 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
• 16× A creature that HAS the keyword the commander's trigger counts — a card that merely says the word is not one
• 26× A body of the exact type the commander's trigger requires — the wrong type is worthless here regardless of quality
• 6× A card that is CAST to trigger the commander — reanimating or blinking it does not count
• 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
• 7× Refill your hand
