What an Ingris Stingerquill deck needs
Plays as team keywords. What the commander asks of the other 99 — read from the card and checked by hand.
- token payoffs — anthems, sacrifice outlets and go-wide finishers (it makes tokens on repeat)
- creatures that profit from haste (it grants the team it)
- mana rocks and dorks beyond the curve (its ability turns spare mana into value)
- a wide board that attacks every turn (the trigger fires on the attack)
The Ingris Stingerquill deck plan
The roles the Forge fills for this commander, and how many cards of each.
- 11× Mana from a NONLAND permanent — a commander that doubles nonland mana gets nothing from lands
- 10× A permanent whose own trigger fires on attacking — the fuel an attack-trigger doubler multiplies, and the payoff an attack commander wants beside it
- 14× Make creature tokens — a static anthem or a go-wide commander needs a board to be wide
- 6× A team pump that actually pumps tokens
- 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
