The Kíli the Resourceful deck plan

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

• 26× A body of the exact type the commander's trigger requires — the wrong type is worthless here regardless of quality
• 14× Equipment and Auras — the things a suit-up commander's trigger and plan are actually made of
• 5× 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
• 1× Answer a whole board at once
• 7× Refill your hand
• 2× Keep a permanent you control alive through removal
• 11× Get ahead on mana
