Formerly a Ghave-led Thallid/Saproling-themed deck. The large number of spore counter users (Elvish Farmer, Thallid, etc...) were too slow unless it was a five player game where they let me be ignored for a while. Nuked them for some more +1/+1 stuff and some support with a focus on both counters and tokens.

Now, it's fully moved to a +1/+1 theme and has been ok in its matches after being reassembled (although the fairly early Hardened Scales + Primordial Hydra win seemed like a major fluke). If anything, it seems to need some more drawing/deck access - perhaps a Mirri's Guile and/or Worldly Tutor to supplement the Sylvan Library, Preferred Selection , and various tutor-like cards. Ghave really needs something to help generate +1/+1 counters, and it needs to be easy enough to get a replacement instead of a land pocket.

The local meta frowns on mass land destruction, infect (except maybe a single kill card), and infinite combos (unless maybe if they're fairly hard to assemble). Board wipes are everywhere.
