Deck overview

This Bant deck centers on Tidus, Yuna's Guardian, blending a resilient +1/+1 counters engine with explosive combat finishes and a compact infinite combo. Early turns establish mana fixing and cheap counter enablers such as Hardened Scales, Luminarch Aspirant, and Innkeeper's Talent. Once Tidus enters the battlefield, combat triggers draw cards and proliferate counters across the team, rapidly growing the board. The deck pressures opponents through high-stat trampling attackers facilitated by Sphere Grid, Baxter, Fly in the Ointment, and Vorinclex, Monstrous Raider, or by accumulating growth counters on Simic Ascendancy. To bypass stalled boards or heavy removal, creature tutors like Shared Summons and Eladamri's Call assemble the deterministic combo of Heliod, Sun-Crowned and Walking Ballista for infinite ping damage. A robust suite of counterspells, Grand Abolisher, and The Ozolith ensures resilience against opposing disruption.
