What a Kozilek, the Broken Reality deck wants
The plan the Forge derives for this commander: the roles it fills and how many of each.
- 7× Evasion that does NOT target or attach — for a commander your own auras and equipment cannot legally touch
- 19× A creature that HAS the keyword the commander's trigger counts — a card that merely says the word is not one
- 15× 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
- 1× Answer a whole board at once
- 9× Find the exact card the plan needs
- 7× Refill your hand
- 2× Keep a permanent you control alive through removal
- 11× Get ahead on mana
