What a Hulk, Gamma Goliath deck wants
The plan the Forge derives for this commander: the roles it fills and how many of each.
- 4× Evasion that does NOT target or attach — for a commander your own auras and equipment cannot legally touch
- 20× A permanent that does something every turn it is on the battlefield — the deck's body, for a commander whose text asks for nothing specific
- 16× A creature that HAS the keyword the commander's trigger counts — a card that merely says the word is not one
- 10× Mana from a NONLAND permanent — a commander that doubles nonland mana gets nothing from lands
- 14× Put +1/+1 counters on creatures you control, or multiply the ones already there
- 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
