What a Primo, the Unbounded deck needs
Plays as combat trigger. What the commander asks of the other 99 — read from the card and checked by hand.
- +1/+1 counter producers and payoffs (its text places or reads +1/+1 counters)
- token payoffs — anthems, sacrifice outlets and go-wide finishers (it makes tokens on repeat)
- many cheap evasive attackers and team evasion (every creature that connects triggers it)
The Primo, the Unbounded deck plan
The roles the Forge fills for this commander, and how many cards of each.
- 10× A 0-1 mana creature that reliably attacks UNBLOCKED — the cost the commander's ability consumes, and the only way it gets onto the battlefield
- 14× Put +1/+1 counters on creatures you control, or multiply the ones already there
- 12× Make creature tokens — a static anthem or a go-wide commander needs a board to be wide
- 4× A team pump that actually pumps tokens
- 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
