What a Plargg, Dean of Chaos // Augusta, Dean of Order deck needs

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

• expensive spells only — cascade and free casts take the next cheaper card, so a cheap card is a defect
• looting and discard outlets (it rewards your own discards)
• creatures with tap abilities (it untaps creatures — attack, then tap them again)
• a wide board of creatures and tokens for the team pump
• haste and untap effects that reach the commander (a tap ability is unusable the turn it lands)
• a wide board that attacks every turn (the trigger fires on the attack)

The Plargg, Dean of Chaos // Augusta, Dean of Order deck plan

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

• 32× Mana value at or above the floor — for a cascade commander a cheap card is a DEFECT, not a bargain
• 8× Put haste on the commander the turn it resolves — a tap ability is unusable otherwise
• 10× Lets YOU discard on demand — looting, rummaging, discard costs — for a commander that rewards your own discards
• 5× Untap the commander so the tap ability is an engine, not a one-shot
• 12× Make creature tokens — a static anthem or a go-wide commander needs a board to be wide
• 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
