Power Pack

Legendary Creature — Human Hero · {1}{R}{G}{W}{U} · Green/Red/Blue/White commander

Flying, vigilance, trample, haste Whenever Power Pack deals combat damage to a player, exile target instant or sorcery card from your graveyard chosen at random. At the beginning of your next upkeep, you may cast that card without paying its mana cost. If that spell would be put into your graveyard, exile it instead.

What Power Pack actually does

Read off the card by the same engine the Forge and Analyzer use — this is the mechanical classification, not a summary.

What a Power Pack deck needs

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

• instants and sorceries in the graveyard (each hit recasts a random one free)
• self-mill and discard to stock the graveyard
• evasion and protection for the commander (the trigger needs its combat damage to connect)

The Power Pack deck plan

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

• 11× Make the commander connect — a body that never deals combat damage never triggers
• 8× Mana value at or above the floor — for a cascade commander a cheap card is a DEFECT, not a bargain
• 11× Put your own cards into your graveyard as a resource
• 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
• 7× Refill your hand
• 2× Keep a permanent you control alive through removal

Best cards for Power Pack

Ranked by an engine that reads what each card does — its real cost, its delay and how reliably it works — rather than counting how often other people play it.
