The The Gitrog, Ravenous Ride deck plan

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

• 17× Put a land onto the battlefield — for a landfall commander this triggers where a normal land drop does not
• 7× Make the commander connect — a body that never deals combat damage never triggers
• 5× Evasion that does NOT target or attach — for a commander your own auras and equipment cannot legally touch
• 17× Creatures you are happy to sacrifice — a free sac outlet on the commander is worthless with nothing to feed it
• 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
