The Toski, Bearer of Secrets deck plan
The roles the Forge fills for this commander, and how many cards of each.
- 20× A 0-1 mana creature that reliably attacks UNBLOCKED — the cost the commander's ability consumes, and the only way it gets onto the battlefield
- 9× Actually remove one problem permanent — preventing its damage is not removing it
- 10× Find the exact card the plan needs
- 3× Answer a whole board at once
- 12× Refill your hand
- 5× Keep a permanent you control alive through removal
- 11× Get ahead on mana
- 12× Make creature tokens — a static anthem or a go-wide commander needs a board to be wide
- 10× Evasion that does NOT target or attach — for a commander your own auras and equipment cannot legally touch
