Counter Blitz (Tidus) by bangorisycoed

Format: Commander

Commander: Tidus, Yuna's Guardian

Bracket: 3

Deck overview

This Bant +1/+1 counter deck, helmed by Tidus, Yuna's Guardian, is a synergy-driven value engine that aims to flood the board with creatures bearing counters, then leverage those counters for card advantage, combat tricks, and eventual lethal damage. The commander's ability to move counters at the start of combat enables precise counter allocation, while his "Cheer" ability draws cards and proliferates each time a creature with counters connects. The deck's primary win condition is combat damage, using Chocobo Knights to grant double strike, Sphere Grid for trample, and Blitzball Stadium for unblockable draw. A secondary, slower route is Walking Ballista, which can serve as a mana sink to ping opponents once Gyre Sage or Incubation Druid produce enough mana. The deck lacks a reliable infinite combo, relying instead on incremental advantage and a wide board of large creatures to overwhelm opponents.
