Deck overview

This is a Gruul modified-creatures midrange deck helmed by Chishiro, the Shattered Blade. The core plan is to cast Chishiro, then chain cheap Auras and Equipment so each one immediately spawns a 2/2 menace Spirit; at end step every modified creature grows a +1/+1 counter. The board snowballs into a wide, ever-larger army that closes through combat, supported by ETB-damage engines (Impact Tremors, Agate Instigator, Weftstalker Ardent) and finishers such as Thundering Raiju and Mirror-Style Master. Secondary paths include Beastmaster Ascension anthems and Pain for All burn. There are no infinite combos; the deck wins by overwhelming the table with modified bodies and incidental damage. Chishiro is the primary token engine but the 99 still produces tokens and counters without him.
