What a Jerren, Corrupted Bishop // Ormendahl, the Corrupter deck wants
The plan the Forge derives for this commander: the roles it fills and how many of each.

- 8× A permanent whose value is in its enter-the-battlefield trigger — the payload a blink deck reuses
- 4× A team pump that actually pumps tokens
- 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
