What a Splinter, Radical Rat deck wants
The plan the Forge derives for this commander: the roles it fills and how many of each.
- 8× A permanent whose value is in its enter-the-battlefield trigger — the payload a blink deck reuses
- 6× A permanent whose own trigger fires on attacking — the fuel an attack-trigger doubler multiplies, and the payoff an attack commander wants beside it
- 6× A permanent that pays off creatures dying — the trigger a death-trigger doubler multiplies
- 26× A body of the exact type the commander's trigger requires — the wrong type is worthless here regardless of quality
- 5× Actually remove one problem permanent — preventing its damage is not removing it
- 1× Answer a whole board at once
- 2× Answer a spell or ability before it resolves
- 9× Find the exact card the plan needs
- 7× Refill your hand
