Deck overview

This Simic deck combines +1/+1 counter synergies with aggressive infect and proliferate mechanics, led by Ezuri, Claw of Progress. The strategy focuses on deploying low-power creatures during the early turns to build experience counters rapidly once Ezuri enters the battlefield. At combat, Ezuri turns modest 1/1 evasive creatures like Blighted Agent into lethal threats that eliminate opponents in one or two hits using poison counters. Proliferate engines like Evolution Sage, Tekuthal, Inquiry Dominus, and Radstorm accelerate poison totals across all opponents simultaneously without requiring continuous combat connections. A dense suite of low-cost protection spells, including Slip Out the Back and Ripples of Potential, keeps key creatures safe from opposing interaction. Because experience counters stay with the player, the deck recovers swiftly from commander removal, making it a resilient and fast-clocking aggro build.
