Kang Prime

Legendary Creature — Human Villain · {3}{U}{B} · Black/Blue commander

Flying Whenever Kang Prime enters or attacks, exile cards from the top of your library until you exile a nonland card. Put two time counters on that card. If it doesn't have suspend, it gains suspend. (At the beginning of your upkeep, remove a time counter. When the last is removed, you may cast it without paying its mana cost. If it's a creature, it has haste.)

What Kang Prime actually does

Read off the card by the same engine the Forge and Analyzer use — this is the mechanical classification, not a summary.

What a Kang Prime deck needs

Plays as combat trigger. What the commander asks of the other 99 — read from the card and checked by hand.

• expensive nonland cards to suspend (each enter or attack suspends the next one for two turns)

The Kang Prime deck plan

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

• 8× Put haste on the commander the turn it resolves — a tap ability is unusable otherwise
• 8× Exile a permanent you control and return it — the button a value-ETB deck presses
• 10× A permanent whose value is in its enter-the-battlefield trigger — the payload a blink deck reuses
• 6× Make the commander connect — a body that never deals combat damage never triggers
• 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

Best cards for Kang Prime

Ranked by an engine that reads what each card does — its real cost, its delay and how reliably it works — rather than counting how often other people play it.
