• 12× Exile a permanent you control and return it — the button a value-ETB deck presses
• 16× Make creature tokens — a static anthem or a go-wide commander needs a board to be wide
• 13× A permanent whose value is in its enter-the-battlefield trigger — the payload a blink deck reuses
• 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
• 2× Keep a permanent you control alive through removal
• 11× Get ahead on mana
