What a Tor Wauki the Younger deck wants
The plan the Forge derives for this commander: the roles it fills and how many of each.
- 20× A card that is CAST to trigger the commander — reanimating or blinking it does not count
- 22× Instants and sorceries — for a magecraft/prowess commander the spell COUNT is the engine
- 16× A repeatable source of damage — a commander that adds to each damage event wants many small events, not one big one
- 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
- 2× Keep a permanent you control alive through removal
- 11× Get ahead on mana
