The plan the Forge derives for this commander: the roles it fills and how many of each.

- 8× Untap the commander so the tap ability is an engine, not a one-shot
- 7× A team pump that actually pumps tokens
- 15× Make creature tokens — a static anthem or a go-wide commander needs a board to be wide

- 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
