Miracle Grow! by DylanLiles

Format: Commander

Commander: Hamza, Guardian of Arashin

Bracket: 3

Deck overview

Hamza, Guardian of Arashin is a green-white +1/+1 counter deck that uses cheap creatures with counters to reduce Hamza's cost, then turns that discount into explosive mid-game turns. The main plan is to flood the board with counter-generating creatures and token-making engines, then kill through either a single unblockable combat step (Champion of Lambholt, Odric, Kalonian Hydra) or the Cathars' Crusade + Basking Broodscale + Herd Baloth loop, with Triskelion as an immediate damage outlet. Hamza is the key mana discount and a large attacker, but not required for the combo. There is no hidden commander; the deck is built around the counter-matters shell.
