The roles the Forge fills for this commander, and how many cards of each.
- 10× A permanent that does something every turn it is on the battlefield — the deck's body, for a commander whose text asks for nothing specific
- 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
- 14× Mana from a NONLAND permanent — a commander that doubles nonland mana gets nothing from lands
- 12× Expensive on paper, cheap to actually cast — the flip payoff for a mana-value damage trigger
