Bant +1/+1 counters that moves counters onto the best attacker, then draws and proliferates whenever a countered creature connects.
Read more
At the beginning of combat on your turn, Tidus can move a counter from one of your creatures to another, which lets you load up an evasive attacker or pull a counter off something about to die. His Cheer trigger fires when one or more creatures with counters deal combat damage to a player: you may draw a card and proliferate. It only happens once per turn, so the deck wants steady hits every turn rather than one huge swing, and each hit grows the whole board.
In the recorded games, Hardened Scales and Branching Evolution made every counter placement count for more, Grateful Apparition added extra proliferates, and Fight Rigging handed out a free counter each combat. Tidus sometimes attacked early as a 5/5 to get the engine going. The once-per-turn cap limited how explosive the deck could be, and an opponent's wide board could outpace its steady growth. Some lists carried Farewell as a reset button. Games usually ran into the midgame before the counter lead turned into lethal damage.
How it feels to play against
Mildly Annoying
Some frustrating moments but still fun.
