What an Ultimecia, Time Sorceress // Ultimecia, Omnipotent deck needs

Plays as combat trigger. What the commander asks of the other 99 — read from the card and checked by hand.

• blink and recursion aimed at the commander itself (its value is its own enter trigger)
• self-mill, discard and recursion (the graveyard is a resource its text reads)
• haste, evasion and protection for the commander, and extra combats (its own attack is the engine)

The Ultimecia, Time Sorceress // Ultimecia, Omnipotent deck plan

The roles the Forge fills for this commander, and how many cards of each.

• 7× Put haste on the commander the turn it resolves — a tap ability is unusable otherwise
• 6× Exile a permanent you control and return it — the button a value-ETB deck presses
• 8× A permanent whose value is in its enter-the-battlefield trigger — the payload a blink deck reuses
• 5× Make the commander connect — a body that never deals combat damage never triggers
• 7× Put your own cards into your graveyard as a resource
• 5× Actually remove one problem permanent — preventing its damage is not removing it
• 9× Find the exact card the plan needs
• 2× Answer a spell or ability before it resolves
• 1× Answer a whole board at once
