Counter by Vica

Format: Commander

Commander: Ishai, Ojutai Dragonspeaker and Reyhan, Last of the Abzan

Bracket: 3

Deck overview

Primary plan is to go tall with +1/+1 counters: Reyhan is the counter bank and Ishai is the evasive flying finisher, while Hardened Scales, Branching Evolution, Corpsejack Menace, Bristly Bill, and Cathars' Crusade multiply counters into lethal combat damage. Secondary paths are a proliferate shell (Evolution Sage, Inexorable Tide, Thrummingbird, Tromell) that can advance poison after Prologue to Phyresis, and a death-trigger package with Felisa, Yuna, and Resourceful Defense that turns destroyed creatures into new attackers. Master Chef and Champion of Lambholt make the board wide and unblockable. There is no hidden commander; the closest engine outside the command zone is the Reyhan/Felisa/Yuna counter-redistribution package.
