What a Setzer, Wandering Gambler deck wants

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

• 6× Make the commander connect — a body that never deals combat damage never triggers
• 6× Exile a permanent you control and return it — the button a value-ETB deck presses
• 16× A creature that HAS the keyword the commander's trigger counts — a card that merely says the word is not one
• 8× A permanent whose value is in its enter-the-battlefield trigger — the payload a blink deck reuses
• 4× A team pump that actually pumps tokens
• 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
