Tom Hanks was this deck's inspiration. I built this deck as soon as I saw Jace spoiled (he is now Tom Hanks). A lot of synergy in the deck with +1/+1 counters, but the goal is to ult Jace asap, and use him as a distraction whilst you build your board. Filling the battlefield with planeswalkers and an army of 2/2's creates a terrifying board presence. If there's one kryptonite to this deck, it's Hour of Devastation obviously, but what can you do besides sideboard in against it?

Notable combos:

• Animation Module+Durable Handicraft = Basically ": Create X 1/1 servos and put a +1/+1 counter on each of them"
• Saheeli Rai+Skyship Plunderer+Maulfist Revolutionary = Copy trampler, proliferate Saheeli, swing copy, connect w/ flyer, proliferate Saheeli, rinse, repeat.
• Durable Handicraft+Maulfist Revolutionary = Cast Maulfist, pay and resolve +1/+1, and proliferate self. Now you have a 5/5 trampler for .
• Herald of Secret Streams+Oath of Ajani = Unblockable board presence... GG

There's also a neat synergy between Samut, Voice of Dissent and Rishkar, Peema Renegade that's really good at generating mana dorks with the first combo. But it's a bit slow, so I put it in the sideboard so I could switch up a couple of games.

Spot Proliferaters:

• Animation Module
• Maulfist Revolutionary
• Skyship Plunderer

+1/+1 Counter Enablers:

• Durable Handicraft
• Implement of Ferocity
• Rishkar, Peema Renegade
• Verdurous Gearhulk

Walkers:

• Jace, Cunning Castaway: +1-Really good for digging through the deck. -2-Only use when you have like twelve copies. -5-Usually used after combat because of Skyship Plunderer (try to use asap).
• Saheeli Rai: +1-Almost never used, but it's good for digging. -2-Great targets all around! Usually used on Maulfist Revolutionary. -7- This deck makes getting her ult a lot easier. Doesn't compare to Samut's though.
• Samut, the Tested: +1-Awesome targeting Skyship Plunderer. -2-Shock is always nice. -7-End game. Find Jace if you haven't seen him all game, find two Hulks and end it quickly, or look for Herald to deal with a creature lock. This ult is a top priority game-changer!

Herald of Secret Streams is the end game when all your creeps get huge. Note: This deck can be built on a budget! You can replace Jace and Saheeli Rai with Samut or whatever you'd like. Replace all the rest of the >$2 cards with the stuff in the maybeboard, and the fast lands with "guild gates". Thank you all for scrolling by, and if you liked it make sure to upvote! I would love to see this at FNM. I hope you enjoyed my brew :)
