What a Lin Sivvi, Defiant Hero deck needs

Plays as rebel typal. What the commander asks of the other 99 — read from the card and checked by hand.

• combo pieces and silver bullets worth finding (it tutors on repeat)
• self-mill, discard and recursion (the graveyard is a resource its text reads)
• rebel creatures (its text counts them)
• haste and untap effects that reach the commander (a tap ability is unusable the turn it lands)

The Lin Sivvi, Defiant Hero 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
• 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
• 6× Put your own cards into your graveyard as a resource
• 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
