What a Toluz, Clever Conductor deck wants

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

• 6× Exile a permanent you control and return it — the button a value-ETB deck presses
• 10× Lets YOU discard on demand — looting, rummaging, discard costs — for a commander that rewards your own discards
• 12× Exiles from your own library and lets you play it — the card flow of an exile-matters commander
• 16× A creature that HAS the keyword the commander's trigger counts — a card that merely says the word is not one
• 8× A permanent whose value is in its enter-the-battlefield trigger — the payload a blink deck reuses
• 4× Sacrifice a creature for no mana, repeatably
• 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
