Deck overview

This is a Jeskai experience-counter deck piloted by the partner pair Kratos, Stoic Father and Atreus, Impulsive Son. The game plan is to accrue experience counters by attacking with Gods - Kratos triggers on God attacks and deaths, while Otharri, Suns' Glory and Aang, Airbending Master provide backup generation - then convert those counters through Atreus's scalable draw-and-burn activation and Kratos's end-step +1/+1 counter pump. The deck's dense proliferation package (Tekuthal, Inquiry Dominus, Inexorable Tide, Flux Channeler, Karn's Bastion, and more) grows experience, +1/+1 counters, and Sage of Hours simultaneously. The primary win is chaining extra turns off Sage of Hours while Atreus drains the table for 2 damage per experience per activation and pumped Gods, Rebel tokens, and Vivi Ornitier's pings finish the job. It is a synergy deck that wins through incremental counter growth rather than fast combo assembly.
