The Lucky the Pizza Dog deck plan

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

• 26× A body of the exact type the commander's trigger requires — the wrong type is worthless here regardless of quality
• 16× Gain life repeatedly — for a commander that converts life gained into drain, the gain IS the damage
• 6× A card that is CAST to trigger the commander — reanimating or blinking it does not count
• 6× Put +1/+1 counters on creatures you control, or multiply the ones already there
• 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
