What a Huang Zhong, Shu General deck wants
The plan the Forge derives for this commander: the roles it fills and how many of each.
- 16× A permanent whose own trigger fires on attacking — the fuel an attack-trigger doubler multiplies, and the payoff an attack commander wants beside it
- 20× Creatures you are happy to sacrifice — a free sac outlet on the commander is worthless with nothing to feed it
- 6× Actually remove one problem permanent — preventing its damage is not removing it
- 2× Answer a whole board at once
- 10× Find the exact card the plan needs
- 8× Refill your hand
- 3× Keep a permanent you control alive through removal
- 11× Get ahead on mana
