What a Super-Adaptoid deck needs
Plays as combat trigger. What the commander asks of the other 99 — read from the card and checked by hand.
- legendary creatures (its power counts them)
- creatures with many keywords (each enter or attack copies one creature's keywords as counters)
- haste, evasion and protection for the commander, and extra combats (its own attack is the engine)
The Super-Adaptoid deck plan
The roles the Forge fills for this commander, and how many cards of each.
- 9× Put haste on the commander the turn it resolves — a tap ability is unusable otherwise
- 8× Exile a permanent you control and return it — the button a value-ETB deck presses
- 10× A permanent whose value is in its enter-the-battlefield trigger — the payload a blink deck reuses
- 7× 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
- 1× Answer a whole board at once
- 7× Refill your hand
- 2× Keep a permanent you control alive through removal
