What a Storvald, Frost Giant Jarl deck needs

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

• blink and recursion aimed at the commander itself (its value is its own enter trigger)
• creatures that profit from ward (it grants the team it)
• haste, evasion and protection for the commander, and extra combats (its own attack is the engine)

The Storvald, Frost Giant Jarl deck plan

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

• 14× A permanent that does something every turn it is on the battlefield — the deck's body, for a commander whose text asks for nothing specific
• 6× Put haste on the commander the turn it resolves — a tap ability is unusable otherwise
• 6× Exile a permanent you control and return it — the button a value-ETB deck presses
• 4× Evasion that does NOT target or attach — for a commander your own auras and equipment cannot legally touch
• 8× 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
• 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

Best cards for Storvald, Frost Giant Jarl

Ranked by an engine that reads what each card does — its real cost, its delay and how reliably it works — rather than counting how often other people play it.
