What a Higure, the Still Wind deck needs

Plays as ninja typal. What the commander asks of the other 99 — read from the card and checked by hand.

• creatures with combat-damage triggers and big single attackers (it makes one unblockable or evasive on demand)
• combo pieces and silver bullets worth finding (it tutors on repeat)
• cheap evasive creatures that connect unblocked (ninjutsu's cost is an unblocked attacker)
• ninja creatures (its text counts them)
• evasion and protection for the commander (the trigger needs its combat damage to connect)

The Higure, the Still Wind deck plan

The roles the Forge fills for this commander, and how many cards of each.

• 11× A 0-1 mana creature that reliably attacks UNBLOCKED — the cost the commander's ability consumes, and the only way it gets onto the battlefield
• 6× Make the commander connect — a body that never deals combat damage never triggers
• 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
• 9× Find the exact card the plan needs
• 2× Answer a spell or ability before it resolves
• 1× Answer a whole board at once
• 7× Refill your hand
• 2× Keep a permanent you control alive through removal
