The Raph & Leo, Sibling Rivals deck plan
The roles the Forge fills for this commander, and how many cards of each.
- 10× A permanent whose own trigger fires on attacking — the fuel an attack-trigger doubler multiplies, and the payoff an attack commander wants beside it
- 8× Put haste on the commander the turn it resolves — a tap ability is unusable otherwise
- 10× Make creature tokens — a static anthem or a go-wide commander needs a board to be wide
- 6× Make the commander connect — a body that never deals combat damage never triggers
- 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
