“Double down on proliferate to overwhelm with counters and planeswalker value.”
Tekuthal, Inquiry Dominus is your proliferate payoff engine—a flying body that doubles down on every proliferate trigger you generate. The core gameplan revolves around loading up your board with countable permanents (planeswalkers, creatures with +1/+1 counters, artifacts with charge counters), then using proliferate effects to snowball them out of control. Each proliferate trigger now happens twice, turning modest counter growth into explosive value. You're looking to overwhelm opponents through sheer card advantage, planeswalker ultimates, and eventually lethal combat damage from a beefy Tekuthal or a swarm of pumped creatures.
The deck thrives on creatures and artifacts with built-in proliferate triggers—think cards like Inexorable Tide, Flux Channeler, and Gyre Sage—combined with selective proliferate spells for precision. You can also leverage Tekuthal's activated ability to lock down threats or trigger additional value when you need breathing room. This isn't a glass-cannon strategy; you're playing a longer game where incremental growth compounds into an unstoppable engine. Winning usually comes down to combat damage from your overfluffed board, though planeswalker ults or loyalty-based win conditions are happy accidents.

Start with budget proliferate like Contentious Plan and Evolution Sage instead of pricey ones; swap expensive planeswalkers for cheaper utility walkers like Kiora, Behemoth Beckoner or Tamiyo, Collector of Tales.
