Ant-man by tcgsmooth

Format: Commander

Commander: The Astonishing Ant-Man

Bracket: 3

Deck overview

The Astonishing Ant-Man is the deck's engine and finisher: every draw trigger puts a +1/+1 counter on him, then one massive activation converts those counters into an Insect horde. Card draw is packed at low mana value, with counter-doubling effects like Hardened Scales, Doubling Season, and Growth Curve accelerating the size of the swarm. The primary plan is to go tall with Ant-Man, go wide with Insects, and finish with Overwhelming Stampede or Craterhoof Behemoth. A secondary engine uses Insight Engine with Mind Over Matter to draw the library and make mana through dorks, while Invasion of Segovia // Caetus, Sea Tyrant of Segovia can serve as a hidden commander that grants convoke and extra untaps for repeated activations. Several protection pieces keep the engine on board.
