What a Tatyova, Steward of Tides deck wants
The plan the Forge derives for this commander: the roles it fills and how many of each.
- 20× Put a land onto the battlefield — for a landfall commander this triggers where a normal land drop does not
- 12× A permanent whose own trigger fires on attacking — the fuel an attack-trigger doubler multiplies, and the payoff an attack commander wants beside it
- 12× Make creature tokens — a static anthem or a go-wide commander needs a board to be wide
- 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
- 2× Keep a permanent you control alive through removal
