What a Kemba, Kha Enduring deck needs
Plays as cat typal. What the commander asks of the other 99 — read from the card and checked by hand.
- creatures and permanents entering every turn — cheap bodies, blink and recursion (its trigger fires on each one)
- auras and equipment worth moving, and bodies to carry them (its text attaches or counts them)
- a wide board of creatures and tokens for the team pump
- mana rocks and dorks beyond the curve (its ability turns spare mana into value)
- cat creatures (its text counts them)
The Kemba, Kha Enduring deck plan
The roles the Forge fills for this commander, and how many cards of each.
- 10× Mana from a NONLAND permanent — a commander that doubles nonland mana gets nothing from lands
- 26× A body of the exact type the commander's trigger requires — the wrong type is worthless here regardless of quality
- 16× A permanent whose value is in its enter-the-battlefield trigger — the payload a blink deck reuses
- 14× Equipment and Auras — the things a suit-up commander's trigger and plan are actually made of
- 12× Make creature tokens — a static anthem or a go-wide commander needs a board to be wide
- 6× Exile a permanent you control and return it — the button a value-ETB deck presses
- 5× Make the commander connect — a body that never deals combat damage never triggers
- 4× A team pump that actually pumps tokens
- 5× Actually remove one problem permanent — preventing its damage is not removing it
