What a Scarlet Witch, Chaotic Avenger deck needs

Plays as hero typal. What the commander asks of the other 99 — read from the card and checked by hand.

• expensive spells only — cascade and free casts take the next cheaper card, so a cheap card is a defect
• cheap spells and lands to play off its impulse draw (exiled cards must be played that turn)
• hero creatures (its text counts them)
• evasion and protection for the commander (the trigger needs its combat damage to connect)

The Scarlet Witch, Chaotic Avenger deck plan

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

• 6× Make the commander connect — a body that never deals combat damage never triggers
• 26× A body of the exact type the commander's trigger requires — the wrong type is worthless here regardless of quality
• 5× Actually remove one problem permanent — preventing its damage is not removing it
• 9× Find the exact card the plan needs
• 2× Answer a spell or ability before it resolves
• 1× Answer a whole board at once
• 7× Refill your hand
• 2× Keep a permanent you control alive through removal
• 11× Get ahead on mana
