Counter Culture
If you want to start a revolution, you’re going to need more dice….a lot more dice!
Counter Culture is a White/Green deck that uses +1/+1 counters to start a chain reaction of growth, quickly turning your tiny creatures into massive monsters that can’t be stopped!
A fast White-Green deck that applies immediate pressure using aggressive early plays like Light of Hope and Selfless Savior and aims to close games before opponents can stabilize.

Game Plan
Early Game
Turns 1-2
Deploy Light of Hope and Selfless Savior as early as possible and commit to attacking. Every turn you don't attack, you fall behind on your plan.
Mid Game
Turns 3-4
Maintain pressure while watching for open attacks. Use your interaction to clear blockers rather than save it for defensive purposes.
Late Game
Turn 5+
With most of your hand played out, aim to finish the game before topdecking. Prioritize evasive threats.

The Play Style hexagon uses the same data to place the deck on the aggro–control–combo–midrange spectrum.
