The Omo, Queen of Vesuva deck plan
The roles the Forge fills for this commander, and how many cards of each.
- 8× Put a land onto the battlefield — for a landfall commander this triggers where a normal land drop does not
- 6× Put haste on the commander the turn it resolves — a tap ability is unusable otherwise
- 6× Exile a permanent you control and return it — the button a value-ETB deck presses
- 8× A permanent whose value is in its enter-the-battlefield trigger — the payload a blink deck reuses
- 4× Make the commander connect — a body that never deals combat damage never triggers
- 5× Actually remove one problem permanent — preventing its damage is not removing it
- 9× Find the exact card the plan needs
- 2× Answer a spell or ability before it resolves
- 1× Answer a whole board at once
