Legendary Creature — Elf Druid · {R}{G}{W} · Green/Red/White commander
At the beginning of your end step, each player exiles the top card of their library. Until your next end step, each player may play the card they exiled this way.
Whenever a player plays a land from exile or casts a spell from exile, you put a +1/+1 counter on target creature and create a Food token. (It's an artifact with "{2}, {T}, Sacrifice this token: You gain 3 life.")

What a Rocco, Street Chef deck wants
The plan the Forge derives for this commander: the roles it fills and how many of each.
- 12× Exiles from your own library and lets you play it — the card flow of an exile-matters commander
- 16× A creature that HAS the keyword the commander's trigger counts — a card that merely says the word is not one
- 4× A team pump that actually pumps tokens
- 14× Put +1/+1 counters on creatures you control, or multiply the ones already there
- 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
- 9× Find the exact card the plan needs
- 7× Refill your hand
