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

• 32× Mana value at or above the floor — for a cascade commander a cheap card is a DEFECT, not a bargain
• 26× A body of the exact type the commander's trigger requires — the wrong type is worthless here regardless of quality
• 22× Instants and sorceries — for a magecraft/prowess commander the spell COUNT is the engine
• 6× A card that is CAST to trigger the commander — reanimating or blinking it does not count
• 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
