Bracket: 3

Deck overview

This is a Bant (Green-White-Blue) +1/+1 counter synergy deck helmed by Tidus, Yuna's Guardian. The core loop pairs counter manipulation with the commander's *Cheer* ability-drawing a card and proliferating each time creatures with counters connect. The deck builds board presence by stacking counters through Hardened Scales, Kami of Whispered Hopes, and Loading Zone, then turns those counters into overwhelming combat damage via trample/double strike enablers like Chocobo Knights and Sphere Grid. Alternate win conditions include Simic Ascendancy reaching twenty growth counters and Walking Ballista being fed by large mana dorks such as Gyre Sage and Incubation Druid. The plan is incremental, aiming to grind out value through repeated proliferate triggers and recursion effects before closing the game with a massive board or a single large spell.
