• 29× A repeatable source of damage — a commander that adds to each damage event wants many small events, not one big one
• 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
