What a Squee, Dubious Monarch deck needs
Plays as combat trigger. What the commander asks of the other 99 — read from the card and checked by hand.
- self-mill, discard and recursion (the graveyard is a resource its text reads)
- token payoffs — anthems, sacrifice outlets and go-wide finishers (it makes tokens on repeat)
- evasion and protection for the commander, and extra combats (its own attack is the engine; it has haste)
