Overview:
A mill-focused +1/+1 counter deck helmed by The Wise Mothman, combining self-mill synergies with powerful counter-based strategies and high-end control elements.
Primer:
This deck operates on multiple axes, utilizing mill effects to trigger The Wise Mothman's ability while simultaneously building up creatures with +1/+1 counters. The strategy is supported by premium interaction pieces and a robust suite of tutors to find key pieces. The deck can win through combat damage with buffed creatures, infinite combos with Sage of Hours, or value-grinding through mill and reanimation.
The deck features several powerful synergies, including The Ozolith to preserve counters, Evolution Sage for proliferate value, and various ways to protect key pieces with cards like Lightning Greaves and Fierce Guardianship. The inclusion of high-end control pieces like Jin-Gitaxias, Core Augur and Sheoldred, Whispering One provides strong late-game staying power.
Weaknesses:
The deck's land count is slightly below optimal, which could lead to consistency issues in the early game. The strategy is somewhat dependent on having the commander in play to maximize value from mill effects. Graveyard hate can significantly impact both the mill and reanimation aspects of the deck. The deck also runs relatively few creatures compared to the number of counter-generating effects.

Attribute Ratings:
- Speed: 7/10
- Resilience: 8/10
- Consistency: 7/10
- Interaction: 8/10
Rating Justification:
This deck sits in the focused competitive range due to its powerful interaction suite, efficient tutors, and ability to establish strong board positions by turn 5-6. While it can't consistently threaten wins as early as true cEDH decks, it packs enough interaction and resilience to compete at high-powered tables. The combination of premium counterspells, removal, and value engines allows it to maintain parity with stronger decks while having enough raw power to dominate more casual pods.
Final power level rating: 7.0 - 7.5
