What a Noctis, Heir Apparent deck needs

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

• creatures with combat-damage triggers and big single attackers (it makes one unblockable or evasive on demand)
• creatures and permanents entering every turn — cheap bodies, blink and recursion (its trigger fires on each one)
• auras and equipment worth moving, and bodies to carry them (its text attaches or counts them)
