The Ich-Tekik, Salvage Splicer deck plan

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

• 6× Exile a permanent you control and return it — the button a value-ETB deck presses
• 26× A body of the exact type the commander's trigger requires — the wrong type is worthless here regardless of quality
• 8× A permanent whose value is in its enter-the-battlefield trigger — the payload a blink deck reuses
• 22× A permanent of the exact NON-creature type the commander counts — artifacts for an artifact commander, enchantments for an enchantress
• 14× Put +1/+1 counters on creatures you control, or multiply the ones already there
• 4× Sacrifice a creature for no mana, repeatably
• 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
