What a Vulture, Feathered Fiend deck needs

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

• creatures that grow with +1/+1 counters and counter payoffs (it spreads counters across your team)
• cards with flying (its trigger only counts them)
• many cheap evasive attackers and team evasion (every creature that connects triggers it)

The Vulture, Feathered Fiend deck plan

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

• 16× A creature that HAS the keyword the commander's trigger counts — a card that merely says the word is not one
• 10× 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
• 14× Put +1/+1 counters on creatures you control, or multiply the ones already there
• 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
• 7× Refill your hand
• 2× Keep a permanent you control alive through removal

Best cards for Vulture, Feathered Fiend

Ranked by an engine that reads what each card does — its real cost, its delay and how reliably it works — rather than counting how often other people play it.
