---

This deck consists of both an enchantment theme to go along with the commander, and a +1/+1 counter theme. This is a strict tribal deck, so only Merfolk were considered for the creatues included.

One specific combo of note:

Tuvasa the Sunlit + Enchanted Evening + Ancestral Mask = Enchanted Evening makes every permanent on the battlefield also an enchantment (even lands). Ancestral Mask then adds +2/+2 for everything on the battlefield but itself. In a 4-player game, this can easily 1-shot opponents with commander damage if left unchecked.

Other Notes:

Simic Ascendancy was included as an alternate win condition, since there is already a +1/+1 counter theme in the deck. Pairing this with other enchantments such as Hardened Scales, Doubling Season, and/or Cathars' Crusade can help "grow" it faster.

Cathars' Crusade, by itself, can be kind of a pain to track. Especially if this is out in conjunction with some of the other enchantments modifying counters or doubling tokens. I wouldn't fault anyone for replacing it with something else.
