What a Galea, Kindler of Hope deck wants
The plan the Forge derives for this commander: the roles it fills and how many of each.

- 8× A permanent whose value is in its enter-the-battlefield trigger — the payload a blink deck reuses
- 5× Make the commander connect — a body that never deals combat damage never triggers
- 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
