What a Gimbal, Gremlin Prodigy deck needs

Plays as team keywords. What the commander asks of the other 99 — read from the card and checked by hand.

• artifacts (its text counts them)
• +1/+1 counter producers and payoffs (its text places or reads +1/+1 counters)
• token payoffs — anthems, sacrifice outlets and go-wide finishers (it makes tokens on repeat)
• creatures that profit from trample (it grants the team it)

The Gimbal, Gremlin Prodigy deck plan

The roles the Forge fills for this commander, and how many cards of each.

• 8× A permanent whose own trigger fires on attacking — the fuel an attack-trigger doubler multiplies, and the payoff an attack commander wants beside it
• 22× A permanent of the exact NON-creature type the commander counts — artifacts for an artifact commander, enchantments for an enchantress
• 14× Put +1/+1 counters on creatures you control, or multiply the ones already there
• 12× Make creature tokens — a static anthem or a go-wide commander needs a board to be wide
• 4× A team pump that actually pumps tokens
• 5× Actually remove one problem permanent — preventing its damage is not removing it
• 9× Find the exact card the plan needs
• 2× Answer a spell or ability before it resolves
• 1× Answer a whole board at once
