Key strategy: Sphere Grid synergy

The deck uses Sphere Grid to emulate Final Fantasy X’s leveling: every damage to opponents generates counters, fueling +1/+1 synergy with creatures like Walking Ballista and Forgotten Ancient. Characters like Yuna, Wakka, and Auron echo X’s party dynamics.

“... it feels like the game. Tidus basically uses Cheer and gees up his teammates by keeping the counters flowing ... leveling up like you would using the game’s actual Sphere Grid.” [oai_citation:0‡gamesradar.com](https://www.gamesradar.com/tabletop-gaming/i-got-through-my-first-magic-the-gathering-commander-match-thanks-to-years-of-experience-playing-final-fantasy-10/?utm_source=chatgpt.com)
