This is the latest and best iteration of my +1/+1 counter Commander deck, now helmed by the magnificent Ramos, Dragon Engine. This makes it the first time that the deck is fully WUBRG, completing our epic evolution through Magic.

Every card in this deck talks about "counters" in some manner; sometimes that mentions +1/+1 counters specifically, sometimes that means Proliferate as a mechanic, sometimes that means charge counters (only for fixing), but always somewhere on the card. The only exception is some mana rocks and land, but with WUBRG you gotta have some fixing.

This latest evolution has been years in the making and is truly a labour of love for me. There are still a few items on my wishlist, I would eventually like to foil the whole deck, and I am constantly scanning new sets for cards that could make the cut. But, all in all, this deck is a great engine that can quickly steamroll your opponents. It's not super competitive, honestly, but it's a ton of fun.
