Tanazir Quandrix

Gameplan

Build a wide board of creatures and stack +1/+1 counters, then deploy Tanazir to double them on a key threat. Attack to copy Tanazir's huge power/toughness onto your whole team for a one-shot alpha strike, ideally with trample or evasion. The deck plays as a Simic counters midrange/go-wide hybrid that snowballs from incremental growth into a lethal swing.

Key Cards

• Hardened Scales — Multiplies every counter placement, making Tanazir's doubling exponentially more lethal.
• Doubling Season — Doubles counters and token generation, supercharging both halves of the strategy.
• Branching Evolution — Adds another counter doubler so growth stacks toward an immediate kill.
• Craterhoof Behemoth — Pairs with the team-pump attack trigger to convert a wide board into a finishing alpha strike.
• Cathars' Crusade — Floods the board with counters every time a creature enters, feeding Tanazir's doubler.
• Inkmoth Nexus — Turns the power-copy attack into an infect/poison shortcut for a fast unexpected win.

Upgrade Path

Add more counter doublers (Hardened Scales, Branching Evolution, Doubling Season) and proliferate engines to make the doubling trigger lethal faster. Improve evasion and protection—Heroic Intervention, Snakeskin Veil, and trample-granters like Rancor or Inkmoth—so your one-big-swing doesn't get blown out. Tighten the curve with efficient ramp (Sol Ring, Birds of Paradise) and a dedicated overrun finisher to convert board states the same turn.
