Commander: Primo, the Unbounded

Bracket: 3

Deck overview

This is a Simic +1/+1-counter and X-spell deck built around Primo, the Unbounded as the top-end payoff. The plan is to ramp into large X-cost hydras and Fractal token makers, double their counters with a stack of redundant enablers, and then either trample the table down or win through Simic Ascendancy. Primo himself enters with twice X counters, and his combat trigger converts damage from base-power-0 creatures into additional Fractal tokens, which makes each attack phase snowball into a bigger board. The 99 is a fairly cohesive value pile: ramp spells, cantrips, and draw engines keep the deck flowing, while the combo-adjacent Expansion Algorithm/Simic Ascendancy line provides an alternate off-turn kill. Overall, this is a mid-speed, board-centric engine deck rather than a fast combo deck.
