What an Oketra the True deck needs
Plays as tokens. What the commander asks of the other 99 — read from the card and checked by hand.
- token payoffs — anthems, sacrifice outlets and go-wide finishers (it makes tokens on repeat)
- mana rocks and dorks beyond the curve (its ability turns spare mana into value)
The Oketra the True deck plan
The roles the Forge fills for this commander, and how many cards of each.
- 15× Mana from a NONLAND permanent — a commander that doubles nonland mana gets nothing from lands
- 18× Make creature tokens — a static anthem or a go-wide commander needs a board to be wide
- 8× 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
- 1× Answer a whole board at once
- 7× Refill your hand
- 2× Keep a permanent you control alive through removal
- 11× Get ahead on mana
