What a Kibo, Uktabi Prince deck wants
The plan the Forge derives for this commander: the roles it fills and how many of each.
- 8× Put haste on the commander the turn it resolves — a tap ability is unusable otherwise
- 5× Untap the commander so the tap ability is an engine, not a one-shot
- 10× Make creature tokens — a static anthem or a go-wide commander needs a board to be wide
- 22× A permanent of the exact NON-creature type the commander counts — artifacts for an artifact commander, enchantments for an enchantress
- 4× A team pump that actually pumps tokens
- 4× Sacrifice a creature for no mana, repeatably
- 14× Put +1/+1 counters on creatures you control, or multiply the ones already there
- 12× Make creature tokens — a static anthem or a go-wide commander needs a board to be wide
- 5× Actually remove one problem permanent — preventing its damage is not removing it
