I was talking to some of my buds the other day, and the topic of triggered abilities came up as we were talking Provoke. I learned about the newly released Lithoform Engine, and how it combos with a whole bunch of stuff that I'm currently building. It existing could finally justify the inclusion of card:Strionic Engine as well, now that there's some redundancy. Wanting to build a mono-red deck, a Sands of Time combo deck, and find a commander for a solid Invasion Plans deck, I set out to look for mono-red commanders. The criteria was simple: have a solid tap ability or mana dump. Pashalik Mons? Kumano, Master Yamabushi? Kamahl, Pit Fighter? All of these commanders were decent, sure, but quite mediocre with Invasion Plans. I looked around for a bit and eventually stopped down at the bottom of EDHREC's mono-red page. A commander with 6 decks, and a commander with 7: Latulla, Keldon Overseer, a commander from a pet favorite line of legends, the Spellbreakers, and the current head of the deck, Jeska, Warrior Adept. While Latulla is an excellent one-time mana dump that pairs well with the myriad of infinite mana combos red has, she requires a hefty investment of two cards, which I could only imagine red would struggle to find. She wasn't amazing with Invasion Plans either, being at a clunky 5 mana and distinctly lacking Haste. Jeska, Warrior Adept, on the other hand... 4 mana, First Strike and Haste. No mana or card investment needed to go infinite. Pairs perfectly with everything I wanted to do.

From there, I stumbled across Enrage creatures when looking for ways to capitalize on damage dealt, realized Enrage is a triggered ability, and kinda lost it.
