The Prowl, Stoic Strategist // Prowl, Pursuit Vehicle deck plan

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

• 6× Put haste on the commander the turn it resolves — a tap ability is unusable otherwise
• 16× A permanent whose value is in its enter-the-battlefield trigger — the payload a blink deck reuses
• 14× A permanent of the exact NON-creature type the commander counts — artifacts for an artifact commander, enchantments for an enchantress
• 4× Make the commander connect — a body that never deals combat damage never triggers
• 6× Put +1/+1 counters on creatures you control, or multiply the ones already there
• 6× Exile a permanent you control and return it — the button a value-ETB deck presses
• 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
