My Counters, no touch by Cheesyrooster

Format: Commander

Commander: Skullbriar, the Walking Grave

Bracket: 3

Deck overview

Skullbriar, the Walking Grave is the entire game plan: a cheap haste commander whose +1/+1 counters persist through every zone except hand or library. The primary path is to cast Skullbriar early, attack every turn, then stack counter doublers like Hardened Scales, Branching Evolution, and Doubling Season with cheap pump spells such as Rancor and Invigorating Surge to turn one hit into lethal commander damage. Secondary plans are generic +1/+1 counter beatdown with Kalonian Hydra, Necropolis Regent, and Vigor, plus combat-damage draw engines. Evasion from Brotherhood Regalia, Prowler's Helm, or Rogue's Passage and infect from Phyresis or Tainted Strike close the game. There is no hidden commander; the MDFCs are utility spells that can become lands.
