What a Sephiroth, Fabled SOLDIER // Sephiroth, One-Winged Angel deck wants
The plan the Forge derives for this commander: the roles it fills and how many of each.
- 6× Exile a permanent you control and return it — the button a value-ETB deck presses
- 12× Life loss that is not combat damage — each opponent loses life, repeatably
- 16× A creature that HAS the keyword the commander's trigger counts — a card that merely says the word is not one
- 10× Make creature tokens — a static anthem or a go-wide commander needs a board to be wide
- 16× Creatures you are happy to sacrifice — a free sac outlet on the commander is worthless with nothing to feed it
- 8× A permanent whose value is in its enter-the-battlefield trigger — the payload a blink deck reuses
- 4× Sacrifice a creature for no mana, repeatably
- 5× Actually remove one problem permanent — preventing its damage is not removing it
- 1× Answer a whole board at once
