What a Phylath, World Sculptor deck wants
The plan the Forge derives for this commander: the roles it fills and how many of each.
- 16× Put a land onto the battlefield — for a landfall commander this triggers where a normal land drop does not
- 6× Exile a permanent you control and return it — the button a value-ETB deck presses
- 26× A body of the exact type the commander's trigger requires — the wrong type is worthless here regardless of quality
- 8× A permanent whose value is in its enter-the-battlefield trigger — the payload a blink deck reuses
- 4× A team pump that actually pumps tokens
- 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
- 1× Answer a whole board at once
- 9× Find the exact card the plan needs
