What a Mistform Ultimus deck wants
The plan the Forge derives for this commander: the roles it fills and how many of each.
- 24× Put a land onto the battlefield — for a landfall commander this triggers where a normal land drop does not
- 20× Creatures you are happy to sacrifice — a free sac outlet on the commander is worthless with nothing to feed it
- 5× Actually remove one problem permanent — preventing its damage is not removing it
- 1× Answer a whole board at once
- 2× Answer a spell or ability before it resolves
- 9× Find the exact card the plan needs
- 7× Refill your hand
- 2× Keep a permanent you control alive through removal
- 6× Get ahead on mana
