What a Goro-Goro, Disciple of Ryusei deck wants
The plan the Forge derives for this commander: the roles it fills and how many of each.
- 10× A permanent whose own trigger fires on attacking — the fuel an attack-trigger doubler multiplies, and the payoff an attack commander wants beside it
- 11× Mana from a NONLAND permanent — a commander that doubles nonland mana gets nothing from lands
- 6× A team pump that actually pumps tokens
- 14× Make creature tokens — a static anthem or a go-wide commander needs a board to be wide
- 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
