Yuna's Pilgrimage

Channel the spirit of Yuna's pilgrimage- each counter a memory, each proliferate a prayer, and every spell a step closer to atonement

Spira is a world caught in an endless cycle — of destruction, sacrifice, and renewal. But not all guardians wield swords. Some battle through cunning, attrition, and the silent accumulation of unseen strength. This deck is your pilgrimage, built around careful preparation, patient growth, and well-timed miracles.

In the role of High Summoner, you command Yuna, Grand Summonerfoil — a symbol of calm, support, and quiet inevitability. Your journey is not rushed. Like Yuna herself, you let others lash out while you gather strength — and counters.

The Guardians - Unity through Synergy

Your protectors are many, and each plays a role in your journey:

  • Tidus, Yuna's Guardianfoil brings tempo and coordination, powering the tide of counters and spells.
  • Rikku, Resourceful Guardian sneak behind enemy defenses, manipulating +1/+1 counters to solve any problem.
  • Wakka, Devoted Guardian uses well-timed strikes to control the skies — and the stack. Strengthens the moral of your team
  • Gatta and Luzzu They may not be official guardians, but they embody sacrifice and survival, preventing sudden deaths and turning tragedy into power.
  • Lulu, Stern Guardian and Shelinda, Yevon Acolyte offer mystical and clerical backup, drawing strength from your board state and spells cast.
  • Auron, Venerated Guardian, there's no teacher like experience. Auron self-pumps and controls the battle through targeted spot removal.

    • Each guardian represents a different facet of your engine — proliferate, protection, recursion, or control. Like the team they mirror, their greatest strength lies in working together.

    The Sphere Grid - Growth every turn

    Just like Spira’s Sphere Grid, your deck evolves through persistent development. Counters appear gradually across your board — not just +1/+1, but time, shield, indestructible, and more. Your battlefield is alive with possibility, and spells like Brokers Ascendancy, Resourceful Defense, and Inexorable Tide ensure every move unlocks further potential.

    Aeons, not Aggro- a Tactical Approach

  • +1/+1 counters grow your guardians into late-game monsters like Hamza, Guardian of Arashin, Sin, Unending Cataclysm or Forgotten Ancient.
  • Poison subtheme — through Prologue to Phyresis, Venerated Rotpriest, and Infectious Bite — mimics the creeping dread of Sin itself, slow but unstoppable.
  • Proliferate turns every spark of potential into a chain reaction — led by Evolution Sage, Flux Channeler, and Mutational Advantage.
  • Alt-win cards like Simic Ascendancy and The Millennium Calendar act as your Final Aeons — nearly unanswerable once charged, and deeply thematic.

    • Faith, Sacrifice, and Endings

    Just as Yuna must choose when to summon her final Aeon, you’ll know the moment to end your journey. Cards like Farewell, Damning Verdict, and Promise of Loyalty provide table resets, while Inspiring Call or Contractual Safeguard protect your own faithful from the storm.

    And of course, no pilgrimage is complete without The Earth Crystal, Sphere Grid, and even Summon: Valefor — all echoing the rich lore and elemental forces of Spira.

    Final Thoughts

    This deck isn’t about speed. It’s about strategy, timing, and spiritual inevitability. It rewards the player who thinks several turns ahead and punishes overreach. In true FFX fashion, it’s a story-driven deck — where every creature, every spell, and every proliferate pulse feels like a step further into Zanarkand.

    Whether you end the game with poison, a surge of power, or a 1,000-counter calendar, one thing is certain:

    You didn't just win. You completed your pilgrimage
