What a Red Death, Shipwrecker deck wants

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

• 12× Put haste on the commander the turn it resolves — a tap ability is unusable otherwise
• 8× Untap the commander so the tap ability is an engine, not a one-shot
• 19× A creature that HAS the keyword the commander's trigger counts — a card that merely says the word is not one
• 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
• 9× Find the exact card the plan needs
• 7× Refill your hand
• 2× Keep a permanent you control alive through removal
