Strategy

The "Pir, Imaginative Rascal // Toothy, Imaginary Friend" Commander deck is a synergistic Simic (Green/Blue) deck that focuses on +1/+1 counters and card draw. Pir boosts the number of counters placed on creatures, while Toothy rewards you with card draw whenever it receives counters. The strategy of this deck is to play creatures that benefit from +1/+1 counters, such as Fathom Mage and Master Biomancer, and use cards like Branching Evolution and Forgotten Ancient to multiply the number of counters on your creatures. This will allow Toothy to grow quickly and draw you a lot of cards. Cards like Rishkar's Expertise and Tezzeret's Gambit help you draw even more cards to find your key pieces. The deck's strengths lie in its ability to generate card advantage through Toothy's ability and its strong synergy between cards that place counters and cards that benefit from them. The deck can quickly grow out of control with massive creatures and a hand full of cards. However, the deck can be vulnerable to board wipes and removal spells that can disrupt your strategy. It can also struggle against decks that are faster or more aggressive, as it may take some time to set up its engine. Overall, the Pir & Toothy deck is a fun and interactive deck that rewards careful planning and strategic play. It offers a unique playstyle focused on +1/+1 counters and card draw, making it a popular choice among Simic Commander players.
