What a Zoraline, Cosmos Caller deck needs

Plays as bat 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)
• self-mill, discard and recursion (the graveyard is a resource its text reads)
• bat creatures (its text counts them)
• a wide board that attacks every turn (the trigger fires on the attack)

The Zoraline, Cosmos Caller deck plan

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

• 6× Exile a permanent you control and return it — the button a value-ETB deck presses
• 26× A body of the exact type the commander's trigger requires — the wrong type is worthless here regardless of quality
• 10× Make creature tokens — a static anthem or a go-wide commander needs a board to be wide
• 8× A permanent whose value is in its enter-the-battlefield trigger — the payload a blink deck reuses
• 6× 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
• 1× Answer a whole board at once
• 7× Refill your hand
