Zimone by RizingWingz

Format: Commander

Commander: Zimone, Infinite Analyst

Bracket: 3

Deck overview

This is a Simic {X}-spell counter deck built around Zimone, Infinite Analyst. She discounts the first {X} spell each turn and grows, turning small mana payments into huge hydras. Hardened Scales, Branching Evolution, and Zimone, Paradox Sculptor multiply counters, while Unbound Flourishing doubles {X} and copies X-cost instants and sorceries. The primary plan is a mana-dork opening into discounted hydra payoffs, then a trample/haste beatdown. Secondary paths are giant draw spells and copied Awaken the Woods or Doppelgang. The 99's Zimone, Paradox Sculptor acts as a lieutenant rather than a true hidden commander. The deck lacks a combo finish, so it needs one or two clean combat steps to close.
