What a Namor, Atlantean King deck needs

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

• noncreature spells (its trigger fires on each one you cast)
• token payoffs — anthems, sacrifice outlets and go-wide finishers (it makes tokens on repeat)
• haste, evasion and protection for the commander, and extra combats (its own attack is the engine)

The Namor, Atlantean King 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
• 20× A card that is CAST to trigger the commander — reanimating or blinking it does not count
• 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
• 4× A team pump that actually pumps tokens
• 5× Actually remove one problem permanent — preventing its damage is not removing it
• 9× Find the exact card the plan needs
• 2× Answer a spell or ability before it resolves
• 1× Answer a whole board at once
