The Soul of Windgrace deck plan
The roles the Forge fills for this commander, and how many cards of each.
- 12× Put a land onto the battlefield — for a landfall commander this triggers where a normal land drop does not
- 8× Pay off lands entering — landfall
- 6× Put haste on the commander the turn it resolves — a tap ability is unusable otherwise
- 4× Play additional lands each turn, or play lands from the graveyard / the top of the library
- 8× Keep a permanent you control alive through removal
- 4× Make the commander connect — a body that never deals combat damage never triggers
- 8× Put your own cards into your graveyard as a resource
- 8× A permanent whose value is in its enter-the-battlefield trigger — the payload a blink deck reuses
- 6× Exile a permanent you control and return it — the button a value-ETB deck presses
