What an Ultimate Green Goblin deck needs
Plays as discard. What the commander asks of the other 99 — read from the card and checked by hand.
- cards that want to be discarded — madness, mayhem, flashback (it discards each upkeep)
- Treasure payoffs
The Ultimate Green Goblin deck plan
The roles the Forge fills for this commander, and how many cards of each.
- 10× A permanent that does something every turn it is on the battlefield — the deck's body, for a commander whose text asks for nothing specific
- 7× 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
- 9× Refill your hand
- 3× Keep a permanent you control alive through removal
- 11× Get ahead on mana
- 12× A spell you cast from outside your hand — flashback, foretell, escape, adventure, cascade, plot and their kin
- 8× Lets YOU discard on demand — looting, rummaging, discard costs — for a commander that rewards your own discards
