Deck overview

This is a Bant +1/+1-counter "counter-jockey" deck built around Tidus, Yuna's Guardian. Tidus shuttles counters between your creatures at the start of combat, and his Cheer trigger draws a card and proliferates whenever a countered creature connects. The core plan is to land Tidus early, supercharge counter production with Hardened Scales, Zimone, Paradox Sculptor, Tekuthal, Inquiry Dominus, Tromell, Seymour's Butler, and Ezuri, Stalker of Spheres, then run over three opponents with trample and double-strike beats from Chocobo Knights, Wakka, Devoted Guardian, Sphere Grid, and the repeatable Germination Practicum. Primary wins are exponential combat snowballs; a compact infinite backup exists in Heliod, Sun-Crowned + Walking Ballista, with the Ballista also serving as a sink for Gyre Sage/Incubation Druid mana. The deck is a classic midrange value pile: strong engine density, weak search, and nearly all its eggs in the countered-creature basket.
