The Krenko, Baron of Tin Street deck plan

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

• 5× Untap the commander so the tap ability is an engine, not a one-shot
• 26× A body of the exact type the commander's trigger requires — the wrong type is worthless here regardless of quality
• 22× A permanent of the exact NON-creature type the commander counts — artifacts for an artifact commander, enchantments for an enchantress
• 14× Put +1/+1 counters on creatures you control, or multiply the ones already there
• 4× A team pump that actually pumps tokens
• 4× Sacrifice a creature for no mana, repeatably
• 5× Actually remove one problem permanent — preventing its damage is not removing it
