This deck is centered around Kyler, Sigardian Emissary and revolves around a strategy that aims to strengthen Kyler by utilizing +1/+1 counters while also incorporating a secondary theme of leveraging enter-the-battlefield (ETB) effects by utilizing flicker/blink cards.

Kyler's Power-up Strategy:

+1/+1 Counters: Cards like Storm the Seedcore, Bone Sabres, Luminarch Aspirant, and Wyrm's Crossing Patrol are included to generate and amplify +1/+1 counters on Kyler, making Kyler more potent and resilient in combat. These cards ensure Kyler becomes a significant threat over time by accumulating counters (Note: If used, Loyal Retainers + Saffi Eriksdotter create infinite counters for Kyler when played together).

Support for Kyler: Bastion Protector, Saryth, the Viper's Fang and protective spells like Teferi's Protection, Heroic Intervention, and Eerie Interlude safeguard Kyler from removal or board wipes, ensuring the investment in +1/+1 counters remains intact.

Secondary Theme - ETB Effects & Flicker/Blink:

ETB Creatures: The deck contains numerous creatures with valuable ETB effects, such as Ambitious Farmhand  , Halana, Kessig Ranger, Eternal Witness, Militia Bugler, and Heronblade Elite. These effects can vary from card draw, tutoring, or providing creature tokens.

Flicker/Blink Mechanisms: Cards like MImic Vat, Eerie Interlude, and Semester's End allow you to flicker/blink creatures, which not only protects Kyler but also resets the ETB triggers of other creatures. For instance, flickering Eternal Witness allows you to reuse its ability to return a card from the graveyard to hand or Luminarch Aspirant adding an additional +2/+2 counters.

Strategy & Gameplay:

The gameplay strategy involves initially establishing a board presence with various creatures, focusing on generating +1/+1 counters for Kyler. Protecting Kyler is crucial, and using spells like Teferi's Protection or Eerie Interlude when facing removal or board wipes ensures that the investment in +1/+1 counters is preserved.

Additionally, using flicker/blink effects strategically, especially in response to removal or to maximize the ETB triggers of creatures, can provide immense value. This allows for repeated use of abilities and triggers, enhancing the overall synergy of the deck.

Ultimately, the deck aims to create a powerful and synergistic engine where Kyler becomes a formidable threat due to the accumulation of counters and the repeated utilization of valuable ETB effects through flicker/blink mechanics.
