What a Shattergang Brothers deck needs

- expendable creatures and tokens to sacrifice (the commander is a sacrifice outlet)
The Shattergang Brothers deck plan
The roles the Forge fills for this commander, and how many cards of each.
- 24× A permanent of the exact NON-creature type the commander counts — artifacts for an artifact commander, enchantments for an enchantress
- 17× Creatures you are happy to sacrifice — a free sac outlet on the commander is worthless with nothing to feed it

- 9× Find the exact card the plan needs
- 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
