What a The Sentry, Golden Guardian deck needs

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

• blink and recursion aimed at the commander itself (its value is its own enter trigger)
• equipment, auras and protection for the commander (its text is combat keywords — suit it up)

The The Sentry, Golden Guardian deck plan

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

• 13× Equipment and Auras — the things a suit-up commander's trigger and plan are actually made of
• 7× Exile a permanent you control and return it — the button a value-ETB deck presses
• 5× Evasion that does NOT target or attach — for a commander your own auras and equipment cannot legally touch
• 9× A permanent whose value is in its enter-the-battlefield trigger — the payload a blink deck reuses
• 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
