Deck overview

This deck is a Bant big-creature stompy and creature-storm engine commanded by Helga, Skittish Seer. The strategy revolves around deploying Helga on Turn 2 or 3, then leveraging her triggered ability to draw cards, gain life, and add +1/+1 counters whenever a creature spell with mana value 4 or greater (or an X-cost creature) is cast. As Helga grows, her activated ability generates massive amounts of mana to cast additional large threats in rapid succession. Synergies with untap engines like Chakram Retriever and Intruder Alarm allow the deck to storm through large portions of the library in a single turn. The deck transitions into lethal combat via Herald of Secret Streams, Garruk's Uprising, and Elesh Norn, Grand Cenobite, or closes games with infinite bounce and mana loops using Hullbreaker Horror and Walking Ballista.
