Legendary Creature — Phyrexian Praetor
Trample, haste If you would put one or more counters on a permanent or player, put twice that many of each of those kinds of counters on that permanent or player instead. If an opponent would put one or more counters on a permanent or player, they put half that many of each of those kinds of counters on that permanent or player instead, rounded down.
“Counter-doubling Phyrexian praetor that turns small advantages into game-ending board states.”
Vorinclex is a counter-doubling powerhouse that turns your incremental growth into explosive advantage while choking out opponents' strategies. Your game plan is to ramp into Vorinclex, then stack permanents that generate counters—planeswalkers, experience counters, proliferate effects, or +1/+1 counter generators—and watch them spiral out of control. Once Vorinclex is out, a single counter becomes two, then four, creating a monstrous board state that's nearly impossible for opponents to stop, especially since their counters get halved. You're essentially playing a midrange deck that hits a power spike around turn 6, then wins through a combination of commander damage, token swarms, and overwhelming board presence.
The deck thrives on synergies that naturally generate counters. Green's ramp package pairs perfectly with cards that add experience counters or proliferate (spreading existing counters to multiple permanents). Planeswalkers become your Swiss Army knife—Nissa, Ashaya's Hoof, or Wrenn and Seven tick up twice as fast and protect themselves better. You can also lean into +1/+1 counter strategies with lords and modular creatures, or even venture into infect if your playgroup allows it, where Vorinclex's doubling turns infect damage into a genuine three-turn clock. The haste and trample mean Vorinclex pressures immediately; don't be shy swinging in early while you build toward the big payoff.

Skip expensive planeswalkers; use budget alternatives like Garruk Wildspeaker and Nissa, Revane of the Bringers, and replace tutors with cheaper ramp like Cultivate and Kodama's Reach.
