What a Slash, Reptile Rampager deck needs

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

• creatures and permanents entering every turn — cheap bodies, blink and recursion (its trigger fires on each one)
• token payoffs — anthems, sacrifice outlets and go-wide finishers (it makes tokens on repeat)
• haste, evasion and protection for the commander, and extra combats (its own attack is the engine)

The Slash, Reptile Rampager deck plan

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

• 6× Put haste on the commander the turn it resolves — a tap ability is unusable otherwise
• 16× A permanent whose value is in its enter-the-battlefield trigger — the payload a blink deck reuses
• 4× Make the commander connect — a body that never deals combat damage never triggers
• 12× Make creature tokens — a static anthem or a go-wide commander needs a board to be wide
• 6× Exile a permanent you control and return it — the button a value-ETB deck presses
• 4× A team pump that actually pumps tokens
• 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
