Counter Intelligence | Commander Precon Deck

Counter Intelligence Deck Notes

Inspirit, Flagship Vessel anchors a Jeskai artifact deck that treats counters as a resource, not an afterthought. Charge counters power up your artifacts, +1/+1 counters turn your creatures into real threats, and proliferate ties it all together by accelerating everything at once. The early game is about getting the right pieces online — the artifacts that store counters, the payoffs that care about them, and the proliferate effects that make the numbers jump. It’s a slow build that looks harmless until your board suddenly has ten counters on everything. Once the counter engine is rolling, the deck can close in a few different ways: animated artifacts become massive attackers, counter-based damage payoffs start chunking life totals, and Darksteel Reactor gives you a very real alternate win condition to threaten. Inspirit becoming a creature in the late game matters a lot, because it turns into a resilient finisher while also protecting your artifact board from getting blown out. You’re rarely “all-in” on a single plan — you’re scaling multiple threats simultaneously and daring opponents to answer all of them. If you enjoy artifact decks that win through steady growth and inevitability instead of one big combo line, Counter Intelligence is a neat, grindy build.
