What a Shuri, Wakandan Inventor deck needs

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

• cheap, dense artifact spells (it makes them cheaper)
• high-value creatures and activated-ability creatures worth copying or borrowing
• haste and untap effects that reach the commander (a tap ability is unusable the turn it lands)

The Shuri, Wakandan Inventor deck plan

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

• 8× Put haste on the commander the turn it resolves — a tap ability is unusable otherwise
• 5× Untap the commander so the tap ability is an engine, not a one-shot
• 22× A permanent of the exact NON-creature type the commander counts — artifacts for an artifact commander, enchantments for an enchantress
• 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
