Overview:
A +1/+1 counter-focused deck led by Bright-Palm, Soul Awakener that aims to create powerful combat scenarios through counter manipulation and combat tricks, with elements of token copying for additional value.
Primer:
The deck's primary strategy revolves around building up creatures with +1/+1 counters and leveraging various payoffs for having countered creatures. Bright-Palm, Soul Awakener serves as a powerful enabler by doubling counters and providing evasion. The deck can create explosive turns through counter doubling effects and creature copying. Early game focuses on establishing mana and initial counter placement, mid-game on building board presence, and late game on creating overwhelming combat scenarios through counter manipulation and combat tricks.
Weaknesses:
The deck is vulnerable to board wipes and mass removal, as it relies heavily on maintaining creatures with counters. It can struggle against heavy control strategies that prevent creatures from sticking on the board. The deck also requires some setup time, making it susceptible to faster aggressive strategies.

- Resilience: 6/10
- Consistency: 6/10
- Interaction: 5/10
Rating Justification:
This deck operates at a focused casual level, with clear synergies and a cohesive gameplan but lacking the explosive speed or consistency of higher-powered decks. While it can create powerful board states through counter manipulation, it typically needs several turns to establish its engine. The deck includes some interaction and protection pieces but isn't heavily focused on disrupting opponents. It would struggle against optimized decks but can hold its own in casual pods.
Final power level rating: 5.0 - 5.5
