Deck overview

This deck is a five-color +1/+1 counters and token beatdown strategy led by partner commanders Leonardo, the Balance and Michelangelo, the Heart. The core engine revolves around attacking with Michelangelo to generate Food tokens and +1/+1 counters via Raid, which in turn triggers Leonardo to distribute counters across your entire board every turn. A dense suite of counter enhancers such as Hardened Scales, Doubling Season, and High Score accelerates this growth rapidly. The deck converts counter accumulation into lethal combat pressure using evasion, double strike from Raphael, the Nightwatcher, damage doubling from Raphael, the Muscle, and asymmetrical board clears like Wave Goodbye. While the deck possesses robust engine recovery and strong backup payoffs, it relies primarily on combat connections and natural draws, making it susceptible to repeated board sweepers and instant-speed removal during critical attack windows.
