What a Gishath, Sun's Avatar deck wants
The plan the Forge derives for this commander: the roles it fills and how many of each.
- 6× Make the commander connect — a body that never deals combat damage never triggers
- 4× Evasion that does NOT target or attach — for a commander your own auras and equipment cannot legally touch
- 12× Equipment and Auras — the things a suit-up commander's trigger and plan are actually made of
- 6× Keep a permanent you control alive through removal
- 26× A body of the exact type the commander's trigger requires — the wrong type is worthless here regardless of quality
- 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
