What a Liliana the Faultless deck needs
Plays as ETB value. What the commander asks of the other 99 — read from the card and checked by hand.
- creatures and permanents entering every turn — cheap bodies, blink and recursion (its trigger fires on each one)
- looting and discard outlets (it rewards your own discards)
- haste and untap effects that reach the commander (a tap ability is unusable the turn it lands)
The Liliana the Faultless deck plan
The roles the Forge fills for this commander, and how many cards of each.
- 8× Put haste on the commander the turn it resolves — a tap ability is unusable otherwise
- 10× Lets YOU discard on demand — looting, rummaging, discard costs — for a commander that rewards your own discards
- 5× Untap the commander so the tap ability is an engine, not a one-shot
- 16× A permanent whose value is in its enter-the-battlefield trigger — the payload a blink deck reuses
- 6× Exile a permanent you control and return it — the button a value-ETB deck presses
- 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
