What a Fumulus, the Infestation deck wants
The plan the Forge derives for this commander: the roles it fills and how many of each.
- 11× Make creature tokens — a static anthem or a go-wide commander needs a board to be wide
- 26× A body of the exact type the commander's trigger requires — the wrong type is worthless here regardless of quality
- 4× A team pump that actually pumps tokens
- 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
