What an Olivia, Opulent Outlaw deck needs

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

• artifact and Treasure payoffs (it makes Treasures, Clues or Food on repeat)
• creatures that grow with +1/+1 counters and counter payoffs (it spreads counters across your team)
• mana rocks and dorks beyond the curve (its ability turns spare mana into value)
• assassin/mercenary/pirate/rogue/warlock creatures (its text counts them)
• many cheap evasive attackers and team evasion (every creature that connects triggers it)

The Olivia, Opulent Outlaw deck plan

The roles the Forge fills for this commander, and how many cards of each.

• 10× A 0-1 mana creature that reliably attacks UNBLOCKED — the cost the commander's ability consumes, and the only way it gets onto the battlefield
• 10× Mana from a NONLAND permanent — a commander that doubles nonland mana gets nothing from lands
• 26× A body of the exact type the commander's trigger requires — the wrong type is worthless here regardless of quality
• 14× Put +1/+1 counters on creatures you control, or multiply the ones already there
• 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

Best cards for Olivia, Opulent Outlaw

Ranked by an engine that reads what each card does — its real cost, its delay and how reliably it works — rather than counting how often other people play it.
