What an Ojer Pakpatiq, Deepest Epoch // Temple of Cyclical Time deck wants

The plan the Forge derives for this commander: the roles it fills and how many of each.

• 8× Put haste on the commander the turn it resolves — a tap ability is unusable otherwise
• 5× Untap the commander so the tap ability is an engine, not a one-shot
• 16× A creature that HAS the keyword the commander's trigger counts — a card that merely says the word is not one
• 20× A card that is CAST to trigger the commander — reanimating or blinking it does not count
• 22× Instants and sorceries — for a magecraft/prowess commander the spell COUNT is the engine
• 4× Sacrifice a creature for no mana, repeatably
• 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

Best cards for Ojer Pakpatiq, Deepest Epoch // Temple of Cyclical Time
