What a Prompto Argentum deck needs
Plays as noncreature cast trigger. What the commander asks of the other 99 — read from the card and checked by hand.
- artifact and Treasure payoffs (it makes Treasures, Clues or Food on repeat)
- noncreature spells (its trigger fires on each one you cast)
- noncreature spells with mana value 4 or greater (only those trigger it)
The Prompto Argentum deck plan
The roles the Forge fills for this commander, and how many cards of each.
- 17× Mana value at or above the floor — for a cascade commander a cheap card is a DEFECT, not a bargain
- 24× 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
- 9× Find the exact card the plan needs
- 1× Answer a whole board at once
- 7× Refill your hand
- 2× Keep a permanent you control alive through removal
- 11× Get ahead on mana
