What a The Locust God deck wants

The plan the Forge derives for this commander: the roles it fills and how many of each.

• 5× A team pump that actually pumps tokens
• 4× Sacrifice a creature for no mana, repeatably
• 18× Refill your hand
• 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
