• 17× A creature that HAS the keyword the commander's trigger counts — a card that merely says the word is not one
• 22× A card that is CAST to trigger the commander — reanimating or blinking it does not count
• 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
• 9× Find the exact card the plan needs
• 7× Refill your hand
• 2× Keep a permanent you control alive through removal
• 11× Get ahead on mana
