Conclusion There is no magic formula to building the best deck in the world but it is clear that as long as you have a strategy clear in your mind and start building around, there is little that can go wrong
For example, if a creature has three +1/+1 counters on it and two -1/-1 counters are put on it, state-based actions will remove two of each of those kinds of counters, leaving the creature with just one +1/+1 counter
The sheer amount of draw possibilities in blue means you could be creating a bigger creature each turn
As opponents draw their second cards each turn, it gains counters and gets card advantage
Cards that have the text win the game are usually trap cards for Constructed, meaning they arent competitive enough to see play
