The Iron Man, Bleeding Edge deck plan

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

• 23× A card that is CAST to trigger the commander — reanimating or blinking it does not count
• 16× 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
• 9× Find the exact card the plan needs
• 2× Answer a spell or ability before it resolves
• 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
