{"ops":[{"insert":"This deck leverages Berta, Wise Extrapolator to turn spell mana scaling and counter distribution into explosive mana ramp and massive Fractal tokens. The primary game plan revolves around accelerating mana with scaling dorks like Kami of Whispered Hopes, casting high-value X-spells amplified by Unbound Flourishing, and building an overwhelming board of modified creatures. Secondary win paths utilize counter doublers, proliferate engines such as Ezuri, Stalker of Spheres, and token swarm capabilities to overwhelm opponents. The deck finishes games by granting trample and unblockable status across the board using Garruk's Uprising, Nev, the Practical Dean, Deekah, Fractal Theorist, or Thunderfoot Baloth to deal lethal combat damage.\n\n"},{"attributes":{"bold":true},"insert":"Core Strategy:"},{"insert":"\nDeploy early mana dorks and counter enhancers like Llanowar Elves, Hardened Scales, or Kami of Whispered Hopes to prepare for high-cost spells."},{"attributes":{"list":"ordered"},"insert":"\n"},{"insert":"Cast Berta, Wise Extrapolator alongside engine pieces such as Unbound Flourishing, Zimone, Infinite Analyst, or Elementalist's Palette to amplify X-spells and generate extra mana."},{"attributes":{"list":"ordered"},"insert":"\n"},{"insert":"Convert large mana reserves into giant Fractal tokens, pump existing creatures via Berta and Germination Practicum, and draw through the library with Terrasymbiosis and Garruk's Uprising."},{"attributes":{"list":"ordered"},"insert":"\n"},{"insert":"Deliver lethal combat damage across all opponents using trample enablers like Thunderfoot Baloth and Nev, the Practical Dean, or unblockable tokens via Deekah, Fractal Theorist."},{"attributes":{"list":"ordered"},"insert":"\n"},{"insert":"\n"},{"attributes":{"bold":true},"insert":"Mulligan Priorities:"},{"insert":"\n"},{"attributes":{"bold":true},"insert":"Keep:"},{"insert":" Hands with two to three lands, early mana acceleration like Sol Ring, Arcane Signet, or Llanowar Elves, and a counter engine or draw source such as Hardened Scales or Terrasymbiosis."},{"attributes":{"list":"bullet"},"insert":"\n"},{"attributes":{"bold":true},"insert":"Avoid:"},{"insert":" Hands with only one land, hands lacking green mana sources, or hands clogged with expensive X-spells and top-end finishers without early ramp."},{"attributes":{"list":"bullet"},"insert":"\n"},{"insert":"\n"},{"attributes":{"bold":true},"insert":"Key Tips:"},{"insert":"\nHold up instant-speed protection like Silkguard, Tyvar's Stand, or Lazotep Plating when committing large amounts of mana into Berta or a single massive creature."},{"attributes":{"list":"bullet"},"insert":"\n"},{"insert":"Sequence spells so Increment triggers reliably on Berta, casting higher mana value spells while Berta's power is low to gain extra counters and mana."},{"attributes":{"list":"bullet"},"insert":"\n"},{"insert":"Use Kami of Whispered Hopes and Mona Lisa, Science Geek as primary mana multipliers before tapping Berta so you can sink the maximum possible mana into token creation."},{"attributes":{"list":"bullet"},"insert":"\n"},{"insert":"Leverage Deekah, Fractal Theorist or Rogue's Passage to bypass congested ground boards and push through lethal damage against turtling opponents."},{"attributes":{"list":"bullet"},"insert":"\n"},{"insert":"\nKey Cards:"},{"attributes":{"header":2},"insert":"\n"},{"attributes":{"bold":true},"insert":"Unbound Flourishing:"},{"insert":" Doubles the value of X for permanent spells and copies instant and sorcery X-spells or X abilities."},{"attributes":{"list":"bullet"},"insert":"\n"},{"attributes":{"bold":true},"insert":"Kami of Whispered Hopes:"},{"insert":" Increases counter placement while tapping for massive amounts of mana scaled to its power."},{"attributes":{"list":"bullet"},"insert":"\n"},{"attributes":{"bold":true},"insert":"Garruk's Uprising:"},{"insert":" Provides consistent card draw whenever large creatures enter and gives the entire team trample."},{"attributes":{"list":"bullet"},"insert":"\n"},{"attributes":{"bold":true},"insert":"Zimone, Infinite Analyst:"},{"insert":" Reduces the casting cost of X-spells significantly while steadily accumulating counters."},{"attributes":{"list":"bullet"},"insert":"\n"},{"attributes":{"bold":true},"insert":"Deekah, Fractal Theorist:"},{"insert":" Generates scaling Fractal tokens from spells and makes tokens unblockable to bypass defenses."},{"attributes":{"list":"bullet"},"insert":"\n"},{"attributes":{"bold":true},"insert":"Silkguard:"},{"insert":" Shields modified creatures from single-target removal while distributing counters across the board."},{"attributes":{"list":"bullet"},"insert":"\n"},{"attributes":{"bold":true},"insert":"Terrasymbiosis:"},{"insert":" Converts counter placement on creatures into burst card advantage to keep your hand full."},{"attributes":{"list":"bullet"},"insert":"\n"},{"attributes":{"bold":true},"insert":"Thunderfoot Baloth:"},{"insert":" Grants a substantial power boost and trample to your entire board when Berta is in play."},{"attributes":{"list":"bullet"},"insert":"\n"},{"attributes":{"bold":true},"insert":"Elementalist's Palette:"},{"insert":" Accumulates charge counters from X-spells to generate immense bursts of mana for subsequent X-spells."},{"attributes":{"list":"bullet"},"insert":"\n"},{"insert":"\n"}]}
