Experiment Kraj
$0.37
Legendary Creature — Ooze Mutant

Simic +1/+1 counter deck where Kraj copies every activated ability on countered creatures, building toward value engines or infinite-mana combos.
Read more
Experiment Kraj has every activated ability of each other creature with a +1/+1 counter on it, and it can tap to put a counter on any creature. That includes opponents' creatures, so Kraj can borrow their abilities too. Put a counter on a mana dork, an untapper or a looter and Kraj gains that ability for itself. The deck is built from creatures with strong tap abilities, evolve and modular creatures that carry counters, and proliferate to spread them.
In the recorded games, Kraj mostly ground out value. Birthing Pod upgraded creatures step by step, and Magus of the Candelabra untapped lands early for extra mana. A huge Genesis Wave was the biggest turning point in one game. Some lists assembled untap combos for infinite mana, while others deliberately avoided infinite combos and played a fairer counters game. The slower builds struggled against fast aggro, and losing the artifact and land setup to Volcanic Offering set the deck back badly. With few games recorded, treat these as tendencies rather than a full picture.
