a different take on heroic +1/+1 exploiting Hardened Scales

we have Hero of Leina Tower , Chasm Skulker, and Sage of Hours . all of these have the ability to gain +1/+1 counters and we are going to use Hardened Scales to get them really big quick.

we have Negate and Ranger's Guile to protect our creatures until they get big.

we also have Solidarity of Heroes and Nature's Panoply to add counters and trigger heroic. ( Battlefield Thaumaturge helps bring down their casting cost.)

Military Intelligence for card draw to make the Chasm Skulker bigger

Curse of the Swine, Icy Blast , and Setessan Tactics are for when the opponent gets some threats out.

and of course, Hardened Scales. it helps Sage of Hours reach that extra turn incredibly fast. if we cast 1 Nature's Panoply and 1 Solidarity of Heroes on Sage of Hours with just 1 Hardened Scales out, we can get 2 extra turns! just imagine if we have all 4 Hardened Scales on the field.

i don't expect this to be very competitive but it sure is fun to play :)it's a relatively cheap deck so it is very possible to use this in casual kitchen table games. (you can drop the dual lands for some basics to drop the price even lower. the colors of the costs are evenly divided so the number should be 10 islands and 10 forests.)
