Deck overview

This Bant midrange deck uses Tidus, Yuna's Guardian to distribute +1/+1 and keyword counters, drawing cards and proliferating each combat. The early game focuses on laying down efficient enablers like Hardened Scales, Shelinda, Yevon Acolyte, and Innkeeper's Talent, while accelerating into Tidus by Turn 3. Once assembled, the deck rapidly inflates its creatures through repeatable proliferation engines such as Evolution Sage, Tekuthal, Inquiry Dominus, and Tromell, Seymour's Butler. Rather than relying on infinite combos or fast mana, the deck wins through explosive combat finishes. It utilizes asymmetric sweepers like Damning Verdict and Wave Goodbye to clear opposing blockers, or grants total evasion through Herald of Secret Streams and Overwhelming Stampede. Supported by defensive tools like Heroic Intervention and shield counters, the deck steadily outvalues opponents before delivering lethal swings around Turn 7 to 8.
