Nylea, God of the Hunt
Legendary Enchantment Creature — God · {3}{G} · Green commander

As long as your devotion to green is less than five, Nylea isn't a creature. (Each {G} in the mana costs of permanents you control counts toward your devotion to green.)
Other creatures you control have trample.

What a Nylea, God of the Hunt deck wants
The plan the Forge derives for this commander: the roles it fills and how many of each.
- 8× Evasion that does NOT target or attach — for a commander your own auras and equipment cannot legally touch
- 16× A permanent whose own trigger fires on attacking — the fuel an attack-trigger doubler multiplies, and the payoff an attack commander wants beside it
- 16× Make creature tokens — a static anthem or a go-wide commander needs a board to be wide
- 6× Actually remove one problem permanent — preventing its damage is not removing it
- 1× Answer a whole board at once
- 9× Find the exact card the plan needs
- 7× Refill your hand
- 2× Keep a permanent you control alive through removal
- 11× Get ahead on mana
