Deck overview

This Bant deck is a focused +1/+1 counters midrange and combat aggro list commanded by Tidus, Yuna's Guardian. The game plan establishes an early modified creature on Turn 2 and casts Tidus on Turn 3 to immediately begin drawing cards and proliferating counters through combat. By Turn 4 and 5, the deck scales exponentially using counter doublers like Branching Evolution, Innkeeper's Talent, and Ouroboroid. The deck translates massive power into a win through unblockable effects like Herald of Secret Streams, evasion from Champion of Lambholt, or an explosive alpha strike with Akroma's Will. Robust protection spells including Flawless Maneuver, Clever Concealment, and Ripples of Potential safeguard the board against both destroy and exile sweepers, while The Ozolith preserves counter investments across removal. An incidental infinite mana combo with Incubation Druid and Freed from the Real provides an alternate finish with Walking Ballista.
