Zabaz, the Glimmerwasp

Zabaz, the Glimmerwasp Commander Deck

Zabaz, the Glimmerwasp leads an artifact-creature swarm built around the modular mechanic, where +1/+1 counters transfer from destroyed artifacts to surviving creatures and Zabaz's replacement effect adds one extra counter to each transfer, rapidly growing the board. The deck sacrifices its own artifacts deliberately — using its red ability, Arcbound Ravager's sacrifice outlet, and similar effects — to funnel counters into key threats, with Walking Ballista serving as a primary win condition by accumulating massive counter totals and shooting opponents to death. Supporting tools like The Ozolith preserve counters through board wipes, and proliferate effects accelerate the counter buildup, making the strategy resilient and capable of explosive finishes.
