Tidus, Yuna's Guardian
Legendary Creature — Human Warrior
At the beginning of combat on your turn, you may move a counter from target creature you control onto a second target creature you control. Cheer — Whenever one or more creatures you control with counters on them deal combat damage to a player, you may draw a card and proliferate. Do this only once each turn.

Strategy
Tidus, Yuna's Guardian is a Simic-flavored (+1/+1 counter) commander that rewards you for spreading counters across your board and attacking with them. Your core gameplan is to build a wide collection of creatures with various counters—+1/+1s, experience, keyword counters, whatever you can stick—then leverage Tidus's ability to shuffle those counters around before combat. This flexibility lets you pump your best attackers when it matters most, or move counters off clogged creatures to evasive ones that'll actually connect.
The Cheer trigger is your real payoff: whenever your counter-laden creatures hit a player, you draw cards and proliferate, amplifying your counter strategy. This creates a satisfying engine where you're both growing threats and refueling your hand, turning Tidus into a card-draw engine as much as a lord. You'll win through combat damage by going wide or tall with a handful of evasive, counter-rich creatures, backed by Proliferate synergies like Inexorable Tide or The Ozolith to make your counters snowball.
