Deck overview

This deck is a Simic +1/+1 counters and token swarm strategy led by The Astonishing Ant-Man. The game plan revolves around turning card draw into physical power: drawing cards places +1/+1 counters onto Ant-Man, which can then be converted into a swarm of 1/1 Insect creature tokens. These tokens and other scaling threats are supercharged by counter amplifiers such as Hardened Scales, Ozolith, the Shattered Spire, and Kami of Whispered Hopes. Drawing cards also fuels engines like Skullclamp, turning 1/1 Insects into massive card velocity. Once a wide and tall board is established, evasion enablers like Baxter, Fly in the Ointment, Iron Man, Armored Avenger, and Training Regimen push massive flying and trampling damage past opposing blockers. Backed by targeted hexproof protection and large standalone hydras, the deck presents a steady, resilient mid-game combat clock.
