This deck is mainly based around being very adaptive, meaning very quickly it can make an army of small tokens or make a small platoon of HUGE beatsticks. There are a couple of combos, here art some main ones:

Any of the +1/+1 counter/token traders + Harden Scales + Ashnod's Altar = Infinite Colorless Mana, Infinte +1/+1 counters, and Infinite tokens

Any of the the +1/+1 counter/token traders + Harden Scales + Ashnod's Altar = Infinite Colorless Mana, Infinte +1/+1 counters, and Infinite tokens

Any of the the +1/+1 counter/token traders + Young Wolf + Ashnod's Altar = Infinite Colorless Mana, Infinte +1/+1 counters, and Infinite tokens

Ghave, Guru of Spores + Triskelavus + Young Wolf + Ashnod's Altar = Win!

Ghave, Guru of Spores + Triskelavus + Harden Scales + Ashond's Altar = Win!

Ghave, Guru of Spores + Triskelavus + Juniper Order Ranger + Ashnod's Altar = Win!

PS: The reason I'm not running Doubling Season or Parallel Lives is because Harden Scales is not only cheap mana and price wise but also still gets the job done.
