Deck overview

This is a Simic +1/+1 counter and token-swarm deck built entirely around The Astonishing Ant-Man's loop: draw cards to grow him, then cash in his counters for a flood of 1/1 Insect tokens. The deck layers counter-doublers (Shang-Chi, Martial Mentor, Kami of Whispered Hopes, Hardened Scales, Doc Samson, Super Psychiatrist) under repeatable draw (Mister Fantastic, Reed Richards, Tatyova, Benthic Druid, Edric, Spymaster of Trest) to snowball Ant-Man into a game-ending swarm. Token doublers like Adrix and Nev, Twincasters and payoff creatures like Iridescent Hornbeetle multiply the board, while Ezuri, Claw of Progress and Duskshell Crawler provide the trample reach to actually close games. The primary win is a wide, counter-laden alpha strike powered by Overrun or Combine Chrysalis flying Beasts, with no infinite combos in the list - this is a value-midrange pile that wins through board mass rather than a single turn.
