Commander deckGW
Mikey & Leo, Chaos & Order
Build a wide and tall army of creatures by steadily distributing +1/+1 counters, proliferating, giving evasive abilities like flying and trample to modified creatures, and refuel via card draw triggers tied to counters and combat.
Asked for“Monte um deck Commander budget de Mikey & Leo, Chaos & Order, focado em +1/+1 counters. Quero gastar o mínimo possível, então priorize cartas que eu já possuo e, nas compras, use principalmente cartas muito baratas. O plano deve ser colocar counters constantemente, gerar valor com eles, comprar cartas através do comandante e transformar criaturas pequenas em ameaças grandes. Priorize sinergias como “quando colocar counters”, proliferate, distribuir counters entre várias criaturas, trample/evasão para criaturas com counters e proteção. Quero um deck funcional e consistente, não competitivo, aproximadamente Bracket 2-3. Mantenha o máximo possível da temática Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, usando personagens e cartas TMNT que sejam legais na identidade verde/branca. Evite staples caras, infinitos e cartas cujo único propósito seja duplicar triggers. Use aproximadamente 36-38 terrenos, ramp, draw, removals e proteção suficientes.”
Deck anatomy
What this list actually runs on: how cheaply it casts things, and whether it has enough ramp, card draw and interaction to keep up at the table. Each block is one card — hover for its name.

The working parts
Counted from Scryfall’s community card tags, not from the builder’s own labels. A card that does two jobs counts twice, so these add up to more than the deck. The hatched band is a common rule of thumb, not a law — combo decks run leaner, battlecruiser decks heavier.
