What a Hawkeye, Trick Shot deck wants

The plan the Forge derives for this commander: the roles it fills and how many of each.

• 6× Exile a permanent you control and return it — the button a value-ETB deck presses
• 27× A body of the exact type the commander's trigger requires — the wrong type is worthless here regardless of quality
• 8× A permanent whose value is in its enter-the-battlefield trigger — the payload a blink deck reuses
• 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
• 11× Get ahead on mana
