What a Tanazir Quandrix deck needs

Plays as combat trigger. 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 grow with +1/+1 counters and counter payoffs (it spreads counters across your team)
• haste, evasion and protection for the commander, and extra combats (its own attack is the engine)

The Tanazir Quandrix deck plan

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

• 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
• 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
• 14× Put +1/+1 counters on creatures you control, or multiply the ones already there
• 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
• 1× Answer a whole board at once
