What a Tevesh Szat, Doom of Fools deck needs

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

• expendable creatures and tokens to sacrifice (the commander is a sacrifice outlet)
• ways to keep the commander planeswalker alive (blockers, fogs, pillowfort), loyalty growth (proliferate, loyalty boosters) and planeswalker synergies — it must survive a turn cycle to work
• token payoffs — anthems, sacrifice outlets and go-wide finishers (it makes tokens on repeat)

The Tevesh Szat, Doom of Fools deck plan

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

• 16× Creatures you are happy to sacrifice — a free sac outlet on the commander is worthless with nothing to feed it
• 6× Proliferate — every counter already placed is placed again
• 6× Repeat, double, protect or find planeswalkers — the engine around a planeswalker commander
• 12× Make creature tokens — a static anthem or a go-wide commander needs a board to be wide
• 4× A team pump that actually pumps tokens
• 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
