Sophia 2 by Wuropp

Format: Commander

Commander: Sophia, Dogged Detective

Bracket: 2

Deck overview

Sophia, Dogged Detective heads a Bant Dog-tribal +1/+1 counter deck. The primary plan is to flood the board with Dogs and Food/Clue tokens, then turn those tokens into +1/+1 counters with Sophia's activated ability. Tiny, Sophia's ETB token, and token amplifiers like Academy Manufactor accelerate the engine. Secondary paths use Brokers Ascendancy and Hardened Scales for counter growth, then Overwhelming Stampede, Night of the Sweets' Revenge, or Return of the Wildspeaker for a trample alpha strike. There is no hidden commander; supporting legends Lucky the Pizza Dog, Karvanista, and Yoshimaru are flexible theme pieces. The deck is mid-speed and wins through combat rather than combo.
