What an Ureni of the Unwritten deck needs

Plays as dragon typal. 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)
• dragon creatures (its text counts them)
• haste, evasion and protection for the commander, and extra combats (its own attack is the engine)

The Ureni of the Unwritten deck plan

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

• 6× 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
• 4× Evasion that does NOT target or attach — for a commander your own auras and equipment cannot legally touch
• 26× A body of the exact type the commander's trigger requires — the wrong type is worthless here regardless of quality
• 8× A permanent whose value is in its enter-the-battlefield trigger — the payload a blink deck reuses
• 4× 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
• 9× Find the exact card the plan needs
• 2× Answer a spell or ability before it resolves
