What The Odd Acorn Gang actually does

Read off the card by the same engine the Forge and Analyzer use — this is the mechanical classification, not a summary.

What a The Odd Acorn Gang deck wants

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

Best cards for The Odd Acorn Gang

Ranked by an engine that reads what each card does — its real cost, its delay and how reliably it works — rather than counting how often other people play it.

Put haste on the commander the turn it resolves — a tap ability is unusable otherwise

  2. Tyvar, Jubilant Brawler3 mana
  3. Lightning Greaves2 mana
  4. Swiftfoot Boots2 mana
  5. Runadi, Behemoth Caller3 mana
  6. Akroma's Memorial7 mana
  7. Super State7 mana
  8. Ulvenwald Oddity // Ulvenwald Behemoth4 mana

  1. Bear Umbra4 mana
  2. Sword of Feast and Famine3 mana

  4. Amulet of Vigor1 mana
  5. Beledros Witherbloom7 mana

  5. Camellia, the Seedmiser3 mana
