What a Garna, the Bloodflame deck needs
Plays as team keywords. What the commander asks of the other 99 — read from the card and checked by hand.
- blink and recursion aimed at the commander itself (its value is its own enter trigger)
- self-mill, discard and recursion (the graveyard is a resource its text reads)
- creatures that profit from haste (it grants the team it)
The Garna, the Bloodflame deck plan
The roles the Forge fills for this commander, and how many cards of each.
- 9× A permanent whose own trigger fires on attacking — the fuel an attack-trigger doubler multiplies, and the payoff an attack commander wants beside it
- 7× Exile a permanent you control and return it — the button a value-ETB deck presses
- 9× A permanent whose value is in its enter-the-battlefield trigger — the payload a blink deck reuses
- 9× Make creature tokens — a static anthem or a go-wide commander needs a board to be wide
- 7× Put your own cards into your graveyard as a resource
- 5× Actually remove one problem permanent — preventing its damage is not removing it
- 9× Find the exact card the plan needs
- 1× Answer a whole board at once
- 7× Refill your hand
