Strategy

Kilo proliferates every time it becomes tapped and comes with haste, so the deck is built around tapping it as many times a turn as possible. Everything with a counter on it grows at once - creatures, charge counters on rocks, poison, planeswalkers - which means apparently unrelated cards all feed the same engine.

Early: Artifact mana with counters on it, because those are the first things to proliferate. Everflowing Chalice, Astral Cornucopia, Pentad Prism and Empowered Autogenerator all grow, and Sol Ring and Arcane Signet get Kilo out on turn three.

Mid: Kilo attacks or taps and the board grows. Clock of Omens taps it twice more using spare artifacts, Freed from the Real and Pemmin's Aura make the tapping repeatable at will, and Relic of Legends and Paradise Mantle give it something useful to do. Steel Overseer and Coretapper add more counters to multiply.

Late: Tekuthal, Inquiry Dominus doubles every proliferate the deck produces, and Deepglow Skate doubles everything already on the board in one go. Urza, Lord High Artificer turns the artifact count into mana and cards, and Flux Channeler adds a proliferate per noncreature spell.

Win conditions: Hangarback Walker and Walking Ballista grow out of control and finish from the board, Blighted Agent turns proliferate into a poison kill, and Cyberdrive Awakener converts the artifacts into one lethal attack. Cyclonic Rift and Chain Reaction reset a table that got ahead.

  • Clock of Omens - Taps Kilo repeatedly for free
  • Freed from the Real - Makes the proliferate loop repeatable
  • Tekuthal, Inquiry Dominus - Doubles every proliferate
  • Deepglow Skate - Doubles every counter at once
