What a Tifa, Martial Artist deck wants

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

• 6× Make the commander connect — a body that never deals combat damage never triggers
• 8× A permanent whose own trigger fires on attacking — the fuel an attack-trigger doubler multiplies, and the payoff an attack commander wants beside it
• 16× A creature that HAS the keyword the commander's trigger counts — a card that merely says the word is not one
• 8× Make creature tokens — a static anthem or a go-wide commander needs a board to be wide
• 10× Mana from a NONLAND permanent — a commander that doubles nonland mana gets nothing from lands
• 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
