The Vaevictis Asmadi, the Dire deck plan

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

• 12× Put haste on the commander the turn it resolves — a tap ability is unusable otherwise
• 8× Evasion that does NOT target or attach — for a commander your own auras and equipment cannot legally touch
• 8× Make the commander connect — a body that never deals combat damage never triggers
• 6× Actually remove one problem permanent — preventing its damage is not removing it
• 9× Find the exact card the plan needs
• 2× Answer a whole board at once
• 8× Refill your hand
• 2× Keep a permanent you control alive through removal
• 11× Get ahead on mana
