What a Mishra, Lost to Phyrexia deck wants
The plan the Forge derives for this commander: the roles it fills and how many of each.
- 4× Evasion that does NOT target or attach — for a commander your own auras and equipment cannot legally touch
- 6× Exile a permanent you control and return it — the button a value-ETB deck presses
- 10× Makes opponents discard — the fuel a discard-punishing commander feeds on
- 8× A permanent whose own trigger fires on attacking — the fuel an attack-trigger doubler multiplies, and the payoff an attack commander wants beside it
- 10× Make creature tokens — a static anthem or a go-wide commander needs a board to be wide
- 8× A permanent whose value is in its enter-the-battlefield trigger — the payload a blink deck reuses
- 4× A team pump that actually pumps tokens
- 12× Make creature tokens — a static anthem or a go-wide commander needs a board to be wide
- 5× Actually remove one problem permanent — preventing its damage is not removing it
