Description
Simic Ascendancy: Slow Build, Sudden Win
Simic Ascendancy is a compact engine that turns routine counter play into a secondary win condition. It pairs well with creatures that get counters from combat or spells and with proliferate and anthem effects that accelerate growth counters. The printed triggers reward incremental advancement; every time a creature you control receives one or more +1/+1 counters you gain the equivalent growth counters on the enchantment which shortens the path to the twenty counter threshold.
Play this in a deck that expects a long game and stable board presence. One mana plus the hybrid green blue activation buys a single counter and many other common interactions feed growth counters without additional investment. The card reads clearly and functions as both a threat and a backup plan. Experienced players will recognize the timing windows and plan sequencing to protect the enchantment while they amass counters.
