Deck overview

This deck is a Bant counters and proliferate engine commanded by Tidus, Yuna's Guardian. It blends early ramp with +1/+1, shield, and utility counters, using Tidus's Cheer ability to draw cards and proliferate whenever modified creatures connect in combat. The deck leverages high-synergy engines like Brokers Ascendancy, Innkeeper's Talent, and Tekuthal, Inquiry Dominus to rapidly grow creatures while locking down enemy blockers with stun counters from Omega and Lulu. Without relying on infinite combos or fast-mana staples, the strategy aims to snowball board presence into overwhelming trample damage, backed by an alternate win condition in Simic Ascendancy. A robust interaction suite protects the board while disrupting critical opposing plays.
