This deck is all about having fun with counters! The goal is to abuse Vorel of the Hull Clade ability, and double all the things! The best part? Almost everything has counters ready to abuse >:D Creatures, lands, artifacts, heck even planewalkers could have their loyalty doubled if you want to go the Liquimetal Coating route!

The deck has 2 infinite turn combos: Forgotten Ancient + Sage of Hours + Vorel of the Hull Clade is the first. Basically if Forgotten Ancient has 10, or more +1/+1 counters on him before the beginning of your upkeep(trust me this isn't hard to do) you're golden. At the beginning your upkeep you move 5 +1/+1 counters onto Sage of Hours, double the counters on Forgotten Ancient from 5-10, remove 5 counters from Sage of Hours to take another turn, and repeat till scoop phase.

The second infinite turn combo utilizes Magistrate's Scepter + Vorel of the Hull Clade This one is pretty self explanatory. You need an untapped Vorel of the Hull Clade and a Magistrate's Scepter with 3 or more charge counters on it. This combo can go off very early with help of Coretapper. Tap than sac Coretapper for a fast 3 charge counters.

One other "combo" I want too mention is Prophet of Kruphix or Seedborn Muse with Tangle Wire + Vorel of the Hull Clade This "combo" essentially locks the board down if Tangle Wire has enough fade counters on it. With Seedborn Muse or Prophet of Kruphix in play your things untap during your opponent's turns, but theirs don't.

Darksteel Reactor, huge creatures like Primordial Hydra, the Grindclock mill plan, and the infinite combos that I mentioned before are the standard win cons in this deck.

This deck can operate very efficiently on only 6 mana. Un-tap enablers like Magewright's Stone and Aphetto Alchemist allow you to use Vorel of the Hull Clade multiple times during your turn. Or your opponent's turn ;) Honestly I find the time I spend on my own turn to be far shorter than the time I spend doing shenanigans on my opponent's turns.

Comments welcome!
