In space, progress is measurable. Usually in charge counters. The Counter Intelligence Commander Deck builds a fleet of artifacts, machines, and Spacecrafts, and allows almost every component to evolve further under the leadership of Inspirit, Flagship Vessel.
This blue-red-white deck revolves around charge counters, +1/+1 counters, proliferate, and artifacts. Every combat, Inspirit helps another artifact grow and, upon reaching eight charge counters, transforms into a 5/5 flying Spacecraft itself, granting your other artifacts hexproof and indestructible. Meanwhile, Kilo, Apogee Mind ensures that every time he becomes tapped, all your carefully accumulated counters can grow even further.

Why choose Counter Intelligence?
-
Grow multiple engines at once: Charge counters, +1/+1 counters, storage counters, and other counters all become interesting once proliferate becomes part of your game plan.
-
Inspirit expands your fleet every combat: From one charge counter onwards, the Spacecraft puts a +1/+1 counter or two charge counters on another artifact at the beginning of combat.
-
At eight charge counters, your fleet becomes extremely hard to break: Inspirit becomes a 5/5 flyer and gives your other artifacts hexproof and indestructible.
-
Kilo is a proliferate machine: Every time Kilo becomes tapped, you proliferate. Thanks to haste, he can be used immediately to station a Spacecraft.
-
Classic counter cards: Darksteel Reactor, Lux Cannon, Titan Forge, Everflowing Chalice, Hangarback Walker, and Empowered Autogenerator all benefit from extra counters.
-
Strong artifact support: Kappa Cannoneer, Jhoira, Weatherlight Captain, Emry, Thought Monitor, Phyrexian Metamorph, and Cyberdrive Awakener provide the deck with plenty of value outside of the counter engine.
Every counter moves the mission forward
Inspirit, Flagship Vessel
Face Commander · Blue / Red / White · Legendary Spacecraft
Station Inspirit by tapping other creatures and placing charge counters on the Spacecraft. From one counter on, you may place a +1/+1 counter or two charge counters on up to one other artifact every combat. If Inspirit reaches eight counters, it becomes a 5/5 artifact creature with flying and all your other artifacts gain hexproof and indestructible.
Kilo, Apogee Mind
Featured Commander · Blue / Red / White · Robot Artificer
Kilo is a 3/3 with haste and a particularly effective ability: every time Kilo becomes tapped, you proliferate. Use him to station Inspirit or another Spacecraft and Kilo's proliferate trigger will go on the stack before the Station ability has resolved.
What does Proliferate mean?
When you proliferate, you choose any number of permanents and/or players that already have counters. Each chosen object then gets one additional counter of each kind already on it. One activation can therefore simultaneously increase charge counters on your Spacecraft, +1/+1 counters on creatures, and counters on artifacts such as Darksteel Reactor and Lux Cannon.
Playstyle:
Counter Intelligence is an engine deck. Instead of one giant threat, you try to put down various artifacts that each get better with counters. Proliferate then allows multiple machines to accelerate simultaneously until the entire fleet starts working together.
New to Commander?
Counter Intelligence is ready to play right out of the box, but due to Station, proliferate, and various types of counters, it requires a bit more bookkeeping than a simple creature deck. Our basic guide will help you with the basics of Commander first.
