{"ops":[{"insert":"A counters deck, with a focus on the level counters from the "},{"attributes":{"bold":true},"insert":"level up keyword"},{"insert":". \n\nA proliferating commander ("},{"insert":{"card-link":"Kilo, Apogee Mind"}},{"insert":") allows not only for easy and fast level up of cards like "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Caravan Escort"}},{"insert":" and "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Kargan Dragonlord"}},{"insert":", but also for cards featuring unique counters to shine, such as "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Coral Reef"}},{"insert":" (which also synergizes particularly well with the commander). +1/+1 counters are less prevalent when compared to other counters decks, with this take on the archetype focusing on variety of counters instead, containing cards such as "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Avian Oddity"}},{"insert":" and "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Boon of Safety"}},{"insert":", providing great support for cards like "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Exotic Pets"}},{"insert":" and "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Storm of Forms"}},{"insert":". \n\nThe deck doesn't count with particularly oppressive win conditions, relying mostly on combat damage from your high level creatures (although it does include "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Faithbound Judge // Sinner's Judgment"}},{"insert":"), naturally enabled by their built-in levelling mechanic, and also by cards like "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Time of Heroes"}},{"insert":" and "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Sword of Truth and Justice"}},{"insert":", with "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Cyclonic Rift"}},{"insert":" sometimes helping you close games. Creatures you may look to level up and modify to achieve success in combat include "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Lord of Shatterskull Pass"}},{"insert":" and "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Transcendent Master"}},{"insert":".\n\nDraw and ramp have their usual support, with a couple of cantrips and commander staples such as "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Sol Ring"}},{"insert":". However, the deck has a greater variety of ramp artifacts than usual, with 3 signets (including "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Arcane Signet"}},{"insert":"), "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Thran Dynamo"}},{"insert":", "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Gilded Lotus"}},{"insert":" and "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Commander's Sphere"}},{"insert":". Draw also is more developed, with "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Vivisurgeon's Insight"}},{"insert":", "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Danny Pink"}},{"insert":" and "},{"insert":{"card-link":"O'aka, Traveling Merchant"}},{"insert":" providing card advantage and synergy at the same time.\n\nThe deck is also rich in cards that support your and your cards' general survivability. It has shield counters from the previously mentioned "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Boon of Safety"}},{"insert":" and from "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Contractual Safeguard"}},{"insert":", protection staples such as "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Akroma's Blessing"}},{"insert":", "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Lightning Greaves"}},{"insert":" and "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Crystal Barricade"}},{"insert":" and more variety, such as anthems and counterspells. This allows for your levelled up creatures to stay safe, even in the face of board wipes or targeted exile. These protection cards are important, as your levelled up cretures usually have received a high mana investment, being the main way this deck wins games, and as such are rather important to keep alive. \n\nAs a combat-driven jeskai deck, 'High level counting' naturally includes plenty of removal options, including copies of the classic staples "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Lightning Bolt"}},{"insert":" and "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Swords to Plowshares"}},{"insert":". Less traditional removal is also present, in the form of "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Icatian Javelineers"}},{"insert":", "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Wanderer's Strike"}},{"insert":", "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Damning Verdict"}},{"insert":" and more, all fitting greatly in the deck's game plan. Indirect removal is also plentiful, with 4 different counterspells and options like "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Reflector Mage"}},{"insert":" and "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Cyclonic Rift"}},{"insert":".\n\nOther cards that i didn't mention but should be highlighted include "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Blitzball Stadium"}},{"insert":", "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Lae'zel, Vlaakith's Champion"}},{"insert":" and "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Denry Klin, Editor in Chief"}},{"insert":".\n\n"},{"attributes":{"italic":true},"insert":"Made for 2026 april deckbuilding challenge."},{"insert":"\n"}]}
