What an Izoni, Center of the Web deck needs
Plays as combat trigger. What the commander asks of the other 99 — read from the card and checked by hand.
- blink and recursion aimed at the commander itself (its value is its own enter trigger)
- token payoffs — anthems, sacrifice outlets and go-wide finishers (it makes tokens on repeat)
- haste, evasion and protection for the commander, and extra combats (its own attack is the engine)
The Izoni, Center of the Web deck plan
The roles the Forge fills for this commander, and how many cards of each.
- 14× Make creature tokens — a static anthem or a go-wide commander needs a board to be wide
- 6× Put haste on the commander the turn it resolves — a tap ability is unusable otherwise
- 4× A team pump that actually pumps tokens
- 3× Double the tokens you make
- 8× Keep a permanent you control alive through removal
- 4× Make the commander connect — a body that never deals combat damage never triggers
- 8× A permanent whose value is in its enter-the-battlefield trigger — the payload a blink deck reuses
- 6× Exile a permanent you control and return it — the button a value-ETB deck presses
- 4× Evasion that does NOT target or attach — for a commander your own auras and equipment cannot legally touch
