Leo and April CRISPI 6.0 by DeckCheckMTG2025

Format: Commander

Commander: April O'Neil, Live on the Scene and Leonardo, the Balance

Bracket: 3

Deck overview

This is a five-color +1/+1 counter deck with two partner commanders: April O'Neil, Live on the Scene and Leonardo, the Balance. April converts the deck's many Mutant, Ninja, Turtle, and token entries into Clue-based card advantage, while Leonardo's {W}{U}{B}{R}{G} ability turns a counter-rich board into a menace/trample/lifelink finisher. The primary plan is to multiply counters with Hardened Scales, Kami of Whispered Hopes, Corpsejack Menace, and Doubling Season; the secondary plan assembles the Basking Broodscale + Rosie Cotton loop, with Donatello adding Mutagens, and uses Walking Ballista to kill the table. A Krenko/Anim Pakal token beatdown provides a resilient third path. There is no hidden commander; the real engine is the counter package.
