The plan the Forge derives for this commander: the roles it fills and how many of each.
- 23× A creature that HAS the keyword the commander's trigger counts — a card that merely says the word is not one
- 18× Make creature tokens — a static anthem or a go-wide commander needs a board to be wide

- 1× Answer a whole board at once
- 9× Find the exact card the plan needs
- 7× Refill your hand
- 2× Keep a permanent you control alive through removal
- 11× Get ahead on mana
