What a Nadaar, Selfless Paladin deck needs

• venture and dungeon payoffs (its entry and attack venture; a finished dungeon is an anthem)
• haste and blink for the commander

The Nadaar, Selfless Paladin deck plan

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

• 6× Put haste on the commander the turn it resolves — a tap ability is unusable otherwise
• 6× Exile a permanent you control and return it — the button a value-ETB deck presses
• 8× A permanent whose value is in its enter-the-battlefield trigger — the payload a blink deck reuses
• 4× Make the commander connect — a body that never deals combat damage never triggers
• 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
• 9× Find the exact card the plan needs
• 1× Answer a whole board at once
• 7× Refill your hand

Best cards for Nadaar, Selfless Paladin
