Hello, and welcome to another episode of "So Dumb that They'll Never See it Coming." Today, we're piloting Hallar, the Firefletcher . Your goal is to ramp, juice our gender-neutral elvish hero with +1/+1 counters, and then trigger their ability with kicked spells. Very fun, trust me.

Hallar has great stats to begin with -- 3/3 trample for 3cmc -- but is made better by their elvish tribal affinity.

This gives us dual-purpose access to the elf suite for ramp and counters. The former makes use of cards like Elfhame Druid , Incubation Druid , Marwyn, the Nurturer , and Rishkar, Peema Renegade . The last two are particularly useful for ramping into big mana. You hit massive paydirt with these creatures if you can sit one or two on the board with a Immaculate Magistrate .

Other cards that interact with counters include staples like Forgotten Ancient , Kalonian Hydra , and Verdurous Gearhulk . You also have access to enchantments like Hardened Scales , Evolutionary Escalation , and Retreat to Kazandu . Stack those counters, bby.

You also have draw options that synergize well with Hallar's abilities. Citanul Woodreaders , ye olde Harmonize , and Soul's Majesty do well here. My personal favorite is Snake Umbra , which provides totem armor protection and nets at least three cards per kicked spell.

Naturally, creatures with fat counter stacks quickly become table targets. We don't have a lot of protection in our colors, but we can work with staple protective artifacts like Darksteel Plate , Lightning Greaves , and your sword suite. Sword of Feast and Famine and Sword of Truth and Justice are beaters in this deck and should be saved for matchups or when you're confident of winning within the next turn or two.

You win the game one of three ways:

1. Kicker Damage: I've wiped one or two players by combining damage-multiplier effects like Gratuitous Violence with a kicked Comet Storm or Molten Disaster . Strionic Resonator gives you two bites at the apple, if you're feeling hungry.
2. Infect: A faster, but dirtier, way to do the above is to equip Hallar with Grafted Exoskeleton . In MTG culture, we call this a "dick move," but I blame WOTC for not adjusting infect damage threshold in commander format. GET ON IT, PEOPLE.
3. Combat Damage: Hallar has trample, and they can really hurt an opponent with all of those counters if the table isn't paying attention.

There ya go. It's fun, cheap, and dumb enough that few people will see it coming. Let me know what I should add, subtract, or scour from existence. Enjoy!
