Deck overview

Tidus, Yuna's Guardian commands a Bant midrange deck engineered around +1/+1 counter accumulation, proliferation engines, and evasive combat finishes. The strategy establishes early momentum through low-curve counter generators like Sazh's Chocobo and scaling mana dorks like Gyre Sage and Kami of Whispered Hopes. Once Tidus enters the battlefield, his combat ability consolidates counters and his Cheer trigger provides steady card draw while repeatedly proliferating your entire board. The midgame compounds this advantage through potent multipliers, including Branching Evolution, Innkeeper's Talent, and Tekuthal, Inquiry Dominus, while The Ozolith and Resourceful Defense protect counter equity against opposing removal. The deck converts this overwhelming board state into victory via unblockable attacks from Herald of Secret Streams, double strike from Chocobo Knights, or one-sided clears with Damning Verdict. Additionally, a compact two-card infinite damage combo using Heliod, Sun-Crowned and Walking Ballista provides a reliable non-combat alternate win condition.
