- 14× Equipment and Auras — the things a suit-up commander's trigger and plan are actually made of
- 4× Make the commander connect — a body that never deals combat damage never triggers
- 6× Put your own cards into your graveyard as a resource
- 5× Actually remove one problem permanent — preventing its damage is not removing it
- 9× Find the exact card the plan needs
- 1× Answer a whole board at once
- 7× Refill your hand
