Commander: Berta, Wise Extrapolator

Bracket: 2

Deck overview

A Simic +1/+1 counter deck whose primary plan is to use Berta as a repeatable mana-and-token engine. Berta grows through Increment, refunds mana whenever she gets counters, and then turns {X} and a tap into a Fractal token. Fractal Tender is effectively the hidden commander: once it starts accruing counters, it manufactures an end-of-turn Fractal army every turn, especially with The Earth Crystal doubling counters. The secondary paths are a tempo-control plan with counterspells, bounces, and In Bolas's Clutches, plus a backup Hydra beats plan centered on Heroes' Bane and X-cost fliers. The deck typically sets up on turns 4-6, explodes on turns 7-9, and closes out around turn 10.
