Turtle Upgrade by Iagoafonso

Format: Commander

Commander: Leonardo, the Balance and Michelangelo, the Heart

Bracket: 3

Deck overview

A token-heavy, +1/+1 counter combo deck that uses Leonardo, the Balance and Michelangelo, the Heart as support rather than as the main engine. Leonardo is a global anthem and the WUBRG finisher, while Michelangelo's early Raid trigger creates Food and a counter each turn. The hidden commander is Donatello, the Brains: his replacement Mutagen token multiplies every token event and enables several infinite loops. The primary plan is to turn each token creation into counters, assemble a two-card or three-card infinite loop, then convert the loop into damage with trample, extra combats, or an overwhelming Squirrel swarm. Secondary plans use Raphael's damage doublers and extra-combat effects to close the table in one attack.
