Support Package Map
Cards that fit this commander
Cards are grouped from existing roles, support-package notes, and attached market context. These are cards to check, not a full decklist.
Single-target cantrips and combat tricks12 cards
These are the core engine cards. The spell must target only one creature. Spells with multiple distinct targets do not work the same way, even if one target is a creature.

Repeatable Auras can target one creature and come back, but they are fragile if the creature leaves, changes control at the wrong time, or becomes illegal.
Donation and political creatures8 cards
Political cards create deals and borrowed-combat pressure, but their value is table-dependent. Homeward Path matters when the Loki player owns a donated creature.

Free, land-based, damage, mill, and mana outlets let the deck use a stolen creature before the control effect ends. Assault Suit directly conflicts with this plan because it prevents sacrifice.

This package is rules-sensitive. Target legality is checked again on resolution, and cards that require a creature you control or own may need a prior theft effect rather than acting as the initial Loki trigger.

Equip normally works only at sorcery speed and targets a creature you control. Equipment usually stays attached after control of the creature changes, while you still control the Equipment and its triggers.

Seize the Day is the clean check because it targets one creature. Relentless Assault, World at War, and Fury of the Horde support the plan but do not trigger Loki.
Tap-lock and untap asymmetry4 cards
Loki untaps stolen creatures during your turn, so Meekstone, Smoke, and Mudslide can be asymmetrical. These are stax-like cards and should be matched to table expectations.
Copy interactions6 cards
Heat Shimmer targets any creature and can trigger Loki. Twinflame, Molten Duplication, Rionya, Feldon, and Kiki-Jiki need you to already control the creature or target a different object.

Mana engines, Magecraft-style cards, and damage payoffs help Loki chain cantrips instead of relying only on borrowed combat.

Loki triggers when the spell is cast. Possibility Storm and copy/redirect cards need stack-by-stack review; do not call the interaction fully asymmetrical without rules support.
Protection and interaction6 cards
Protection that targets Loki can also be a Loki trigger if it targets only a single creature. Tyrite Sanctum works cleanly because Loki is already a God.

Win paths include attacking with borrowed creatures, sacrificing them, spellslinger damage, extra combats, political combat, tokens, Fling-style effects, and high-cost theft finishers. None should be described as deterministic unless the combo is validated.
Cards to reconsider and rules-sensitive cards1 cards
No decklist-specific cuts are attached because Moxfield blocked the deck API. This group flags common traps: multiple distinct targets, target-you-control restrictions, Assault Suit plus sacrifice outlets, and off-color cards such as Gelectrode.
