What a Tony Stark // The Invincible Iron Man deck wants

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

• 8× Put haste on the commander the turn it resolves — a tap ability is unusable otherwise
• 5× Untap the commander so the tap ability is an engine, not a one-shot
• 14× Expensive on paper, cheap to actually cast — the flip payoff for a mana-value damage trigger
• 14× Equipment and Auras — the things a suit-up commander's trigger and plan are actually made of
• 5× Make the commander connect — a body that never deals combat damage never triggers
• 5× Actually remove one problem permanent — preventing its damage is not removing it
• 1× Answer a whole board at once
• 2× Answer a spell or ability before it resolves
• 9× Find the exact card the plan needs
