Rashmi and Ragavan

Legendary Creature — Elf Monkey · {1}{G}{U}{R} · Green/Red/Blue commander

Whenever you cast your first spell during each of your turns, exile the top card of target opponent's library and create a Treasure token. Then you may cast the exiled card without paying its mana cost if it's a spell with mana value less than the number of artifacts you control. If you don't cast it this way, you may cast it this turn.

What a Rashmi and Ragavan deck wants

The plan the Forge derives for this commander: the roles it fills and how many of each.

• 32× Mana value at or above the floor — for a cascade commander a cheap card is a DEFECT, not a bargain
• 16× A creature that HAS the keyword the commander's trigger counts — a card that merely says the word is not one
• 22× A permanent of the exact NON-creature type the commander counts — artifacts for an artifact commander, enchantments for an enchantress
• 22× Instants and sorceries — for a magecraft/prowess commander the spell COUNT is the engine
• 4× A team pump that actually pumps tokens
• 12× Make creature tokens — a static anthem or a go-wide commander needs a board to be wide
• 5× Actually remove one problem permanent — preventing its damage is not removing it
• 1× Answer a whole board at once
• 2× Answer a spell or ability before it resolves

Best cards for Rashmi and Ragavan
