Strategy
Tidus moves a counter every combat and proliferates whenever a creature with a counter connects, so the deck wants a board of countered creatures that opponents cannot profitably block. Counters compound rather than accumulate: each connection multiplies what is already there, which means the clock gets faster every turn rather than staying flat.
Early: Open with counter producers that also ramp. Incubation Druid, Gyre Sage and Rampant Rejuvenator grow while funding the turn, Hardened Scales makes every counter placement bigger from turn one, and Duskshell Crawler seeds the board.
Mid: Tidus lands and the proliferation begins. Grateful Apparition and Thrummingbird connect easily and proliferate on their own, Evolution Sage turns every land drop into a proliferate, and Herald of Secret Streams makes the whole countered board unblockable - which is what turns Tidus's trigger from occasional to guaranteed.
Late: Tekuthal, Inquiry Dominus doubles every proliferate in the deck, and Forgotten Ancient banks counters across turns to be moved wherever they matter. Fathom Mage and Ezuri, Stalker of Spheres convert the growth into cards, and Luminous Broodmoth protects the key pieces.
Win conditions: Combat damage from unblockable creatures that doubled in size twice. Walking Ballista is the alternative route, firing off a board full of counters, and Cyclonic Rift handles a board that cannot be attacked through.
- Hardened Scales - Every counter placement gets bigger
- Tekuthal, Inquiry Dominus - Doubles every proliferate
- Herald of Secret Streams - Makes the countered board unblockable
- Evolution Sage - A proliferate on every land drop
