What a Liliana the Faultless deck wants
The plan the Forge derives for this commander: the roles it fills and how many of each.
- 8× Put haste on the commander the turn it resolves — a tap ability is unusable otherwise
- 5× Untap the commander so the tap ability is an engine, not a one-shot
- 10× Lets YOU discard on demand — looting, rummaging, discard costs — for a commander that rewards your own discards
- 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
- 1× Answer a whole board at once
- 9× Find the exact card the plan needs
- 7× Refill your hand
