Denry Klin, Editor in Chief

Mana value4Rank#9,317
BuildCard details

The Commander

Denry Klin enters with your choice of a +1/+1, first strike, or vigilance counter on it.

Whenever a nontoken creature you control enters, if Denry Klin has counters on it, put the same number of each kind of counter on that creature.

Guide

Gameplan

Load Denry Klin up with as many counter types as possible, then drip nontoken creatures onto the battlefield so each one is born with a copy of every counter Denry carries. You snowball into a board of oversized, keyword-stacked creatures and beat down, ideally accelerating Denry's counter count with proliferate and counter-doublers before going wide with value creatures.

Strengths

  • Copies ANY counter type, not just the three listed, so flying/double strike/keyword counters all propagate to your whole team
  • Turns ordinary creature drops into immediate threats with built-in evasion and stats
  • Scales hard with proliferate and counter-doubling effects
  • Lives in UW, the best colors for protection, card draw, and resilience

Weaknesses

  • Heavily commander-dependent—removing Denry shuts off the engine and resets your tempo
  • Counters do nothing for tokens, so go-wide token strategies don't synergize
  • Slow to set up; needs a turn or two to stack counters before payoff
  • Targeted/board wipes hurt since your value is invested in creatures

Key Cards

  • The Ozolith — Banks all of Denry's counters when he dies and lets you proliferate, protecting and growing your engine.
  • Hardened Scales — Adds to every +1/+1 counter placement, snowballing both Denry and every creature he buffs.
  • Doubling Season — Doubles the counters Denry enters with and every counter he distributes, instantly making creatures enormous.
  • Inspiring Call — Draws a card per counter-bearing creature and protects your whole board from removal at instant speed.
  • Felidar Retreat — Gives a counter-themed payoff and pumps your team to push lethal damage.
  • Cathars' Crusade — Stacks +1/+1 counters across the board each time a creature enters, compounding Denry's distribution.

Upgrade Path

Add counter-doublers (Doubling Season, Branching Evolution, Vorinclex) and proliferate sources (Evolution Sage, Flux Channeler, Karn's Bastion) to inflate Denry faster, plus keyword-counter enablers to grant evasion. Prioritize protection like Heroic Intervention's UW analogs, Teferi's Protection, and Swiftfoot Boots to keep Denry alive, and run blink effects to retrigger the engine and dodge removal.

Archetypes

  • Keyword Counters — He copies flying, double strike, vigilance, and other keyword counters onto your entire team.
  • Midrange Value — UW lets you grind with ETB creatures that all arrive pre-buffed for incremental advantage.
