The Jared Carthalion deck plan

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

• 6× Proliferate — every counter already placed is placed again
• 6× Repeat, double, protect or find planeswalkers — the engine around a planeswalker commander
• 12× Make creature tokens — a static anthem or a go-wide commander needs a board to be wide
• 8× Put +1/+1 counters on creatures you control, or multiply the ones already there
• 4× 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
• 2× Answer a spell or ability before it resolves
• 1× Answer a whole board at once
