What Thor, God of Thunder 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 Thor, God of Thunder deck wants
The plan the Forge derives for this commander: the roles it fills and how many of each.
- 4× Evasion that does NOT target or attach — for a commander your own auras and equipment cannot legally touch
- 6× Exile a permanent you control and return it — the button a value-ETB deck presses
- 20× A card that is CAST to trigger the commander — reanimating or blinking it does not count
- 8× A permanent whose value is in its enter-the-battlefield trigger — the payload a blink deck reuses
- 6× Put your own cards into your graveyard as a resource
- 5× Actually remove one problem permanent — preventing its damage is not removing it
- 1× Answer a whole board at once
- 9× Find the exact card the plan needs
- 7× Refill your hand
