Deck overview

This Bant deck is commanded by Tidus, Yuna's Guardian and focuses on compounding +1/+1 counters and proliferate triggers to build an overwhelming combat force. The deck accelerates through green ramp and scalable mana dorks like Gyre Sage and Kami of Whispered Hopes before deploying Tidus on Turn 4. Once assembled, combat connections trigger Tidus's Cheer ability, drawing cards and proliferating counters across the board. The deck leverages heavy functional redundancy in counter placement and card draw engines such as Danny Pink and Kutzil, Malamet Exemplar. Win conditions center on scaling power and granting universal evasion through Herald of Secret Streams, Sphere Grid, or Kodama of the West Tree, supported by asymmetric sweepers like Damning Verdict and Wave Goodbye. Defensive tools like Ripples of Potential and The Ozolith preserve board state and counters against removal.
