Hurska Sweet-Tooth
Legendary Creature — Bear · {2}{G} · Green/White commander
Whenever Hurska attacks, create a Food token. (It's an artifact with "{2}, {T}, Sacrifice this token: You gain 3 life.")
Whenever you gain life, you may pay {G/W}. When you do, target creature gets +X/+X until end of turn, where X is the amount of life you gained.

What Hurska Sweet-Tooth actually does
Read off the card by the same engine the Forge and Analyzer use — this is the mechanical classification, not a summary.
- Triggered ability · attackWhenever Hurska attacks, create a Food token.
- Triggered ability · lifegainWhenever you gain life, you may pay {G/W}. When you do, target creature gets +X/+X until end of turn, where X is the amount of life you gained.
What a Hurska Sweet-Tooth deck needs
Plays as combat trigger. What the commander asks of the other 99 — read from the card and checked by hand.
- artifact and Treasure payoffs (it makes Treasures, Clues or Food on repeat)
- repeatable lifegain — lifelink, gain-life triggers and Food (every life gained is its trigger)
- haste, evasion and protection for the commander, and extra combats (its own attack is the engine)
The Hurska Sweet-Tooth deck plan
The roles the Forge fills for this commander, and how many cards of each.
- 9× Put haste on the commander the turn it resolves — a tap ability is unusable otherwise
- 18× Gain life repeatedly — for a commander that converts life gained into drain, the gain IS the damage
- 7× Make the commander connect — a body that never deals combat damage never triggers
- 5× Actually remove one problem permanent — preventing its damage is not removing it
- 9× Find the exact card the plan needs
- 1× Answer a whole board at once
- 7× Refill your hand
- 2× Keep a permanent you control alive through removal
- 11× Get ahead on mana
