{2}, {T}: Choose target enchantment you control that doesn't have the same name as another permanent you control. Create a token that's a copy of it, except it isn't legendary. If the token is an Aura, untap Yenna, then scry 2. Activate only as a sorcery.

What a Yenna, Redtooth Regent deck needs
Plays as copy engine. What the commander asks of the other 99 — read from the card and checked by hand.
- enchantments (its text counts them)
- non-creature permanents worth copying (it copies them, not creatures)
- token payoffs — anthems, sacrifice outlets and go-wide finishers (it makes tokens on repeat)
- haste and untap effects that reach the commander (a tap ability is unusable the turn it lands)
The Yenna, Redtooth Regent deck plan
The roles the Forge fills for this commander, and how many cards of each.
- 8× Put haste on the commander the turn it resolves — a tap ability is unusable otherwise
- 5× Untap the commander so the tap ability is an engine, not a one-shot
- 22× A permanent of the exact NON-creature type the commander counts — artifacts for an artifact commander, enchantments for an enchantress
- 12× Make creature tokens — a static anthem or a go-wide commander needs a board to be wide
- 4× A team pump that actually pumps tokens
- 5× Actually remove one problem permanent — preventing its damage is not removing it
- 9× Find the exact card the plan needs
- 1× Answer a whole board at once
- 7× Refill your hand
