Perrie, the Pulverizer costs {1}{G}{W}{U} and is a Legendary Creature. When it enters you put a shield counter on target creature, and whenever it attacks target creature you control gains trample and gets +X/+X until end of turn, where X is the number of different kinds of counters among permanents you control. The more kinds of counters across your board, the bigger the attacker gets.
The precon already has the counter makers and movers, including Agent's Toolkit, Crystalline Giant, Slippery Bogbonder, Denry Klin and Resourceful Defense. Each swap below pairs a cut with an add, and every card is scored with the same numbers the Oracle uses to build decks: synergy and inclusion from the Perrie decks, plus lift, which shows how much more often a card turns up in Perrie decks than in decks that could play it.

What is holding the deck back
Not enough cheap counter makers and movers
Gift of the Viper, Reluctant Role Model, Tidus and Brokers Ascendancy put different kinds of counters on creatures or move them around, which feeds Perrie's attack trigger. They are among the top-scoring cards the precon leaves out.
Sweepers and rocks that work against the plan
Planar Outburst and Oblivion Stone clear the board of the creatures that carry the counters, and Commander's Sphere, Fellwar Stone and Power Conduit are each played in about one Perrie deck in four to five.
Cards outside the main plan
Declaration in Stone, Jenara, Angelic Sleuth and Urban Evolution are each played in about one Perrie deck in six to nine.

How the numbers work
Inclusion is the share of Perrie, the Pulverizer decks (1,847 of them when this was written, 2026-10-28) that play the card. Synergy is how much more often they play it than other decks in the same colours. Oracle score is synergy × 0.6 plus inclusion × 0.4, the same blend The Oracle uses to rank cards for a deck. Lift compares how often the card appears in these decks with how often it could, capped at 8× here; it is shown for context and does not change the score.
Two cautions. Players who run the precon unmodified count as Perrie decks, which flatters every card the precon contains. Lift is high for many counter cards because few decks play them outside a counters deck, so use lift to compare cards, not to judge one in isolation. Prices are the cheapest non-foil paper printing on TCGplayer (via Scryfall), in USD, and move daily.
