This deck is intended to play against multiple commanders, but it can still hold its own ina 1v1. with the help of @rasberryfish25, the Deck was created to force your opponents to attack each turn causing chaos. The deck synergizes around a "counters matters" theme. If your opponent's attack you, your creatures gain 1/1 counters, but more than that, having cards like Doubling Season and Primal Vigor on the board, your creatures grow exponentially. Because of this, your deck, lead by Thantis, becomes the Nuclear Deterrent and forces your opponents to go at each other, leaving you to quietly build and overwhelm when the time is right. This is a fun deck. If you like to cause chaos, this is a deck for you!

There are enough alternate "maybe" cards to rewrite the strategy. You can easily mod the deck to move from counters as the main theme to an Infect deck, requiring you to only deal 10 poison counters to your opponent to win the game. You can even go in the direction of using heavy fog components to cause your creature buildup while still allowing your opponents to attack without doing you any damage.
