What a Horde of Notions deck wants

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

• 32× Mana value at or above the floor — for a cascade commander a cheap card is a DEFECT, not a bargain
• 4× Evasion that does NOT target or attach — for a commander your own auras and equipment cannot legally touch
• 12× Equipment and Auras — the things a suit-up commander's trigger and plan are actually made of
• 6× Keep a permanent you control alive through removal
• 6× Put your own cards into your graveyard as a resource
• 5× Actually remove one problem permanent — preventing its damage is not removing it
• 1× Answer a whole board at once
• 2× Answer a spell or ability before it resolves
• 9× Find the exact card the plan needs
