What a Hakim, Loreweaver deck needs
Plays as voltron. What the commander asks of the other 99 — read from the card and checked by hand.
- auras and equipment worth moving, and bodies to carry them (its text attaches or counts them)
- self-mill, discard and recursion (the graveyard is a resource its text reads)
- haste and untap effects that reach the commander (a tap ability is unusable the turn it lands)
The Hakim, Loreweaver deck plan

- 9× Put haste on the commander the turn it resolves — a tap ability is unusable otherwise
- 5× Untap the commander so the tap ability is an engine, not a one-shot

- 6× Put your own cards into your graveyard as a resource
- 5× Make the commander connect — a body that never deals combat damage never triggers

- 9× Find the exact card the plan needs
- 2× Answer a spell or ability before it resolves
- 1× Answer a whole board at once
