The first PDH deck I designed.

The theme, obviously, is counters. Gilder Bairn doubles those like it's his job (spoilers: it is his job). He does it over and over again, too, as long as you've got a outlet to tap him.

Gilder Bairn can go infinite with Pentad Prism and any repeatable tap outlet.

(I feel a little bad saying this, but the sub-theme in the counters deck is counterspells.)
