Hello all! Welcome to my Ghave, Guru of Spores deck! This deck is kind of a hodgepodge of three themes; tokens, +1/+1 counters, and sacrificing stuff!

One of the most important interactions in this deck is the way it abuses 'Enters the Battlefield' effects. Generating tokens upon entrance means you generate twice as many when you control Panharmonicon . It turns out that this also works with Fabricate. Usually you'll be generating tokens rather than adding +1/+1 counters. Tendershoot Dryad , Visionary Augmentor, Weaponcraft Enthusiast , Marionette Master , and Angel of Invention all fit the bill. Throw Captain of the Watch , Avenger of Zendikar , Grave Titan , Myr Battlesphere , or Izoni, Thousand-Eyed into the mix and you've got yourself some tokens! Throw one of these on a Mimic Vat for maximum fun! Eerie Interlude can save your creatures when an opponent casts a Wrath of God , and when they come back in they make more tokens!

If you want to throw some dice on cards Ghave is right for you! Increase the number of tokens with Hardened Scales , Winding Constrictor , or Corpsejack Menace . Plus, Cathars' Crusade works with Panharmonicon as well. Use Yahenni, Undying Partisan , Drana, Liberator of Malakir , and Rishkar, Peema Renegade for some legendary +1/+1 shenanigans.

Get some tokens out, pump them up with some +1/+1 counters, then throw out Eldrazi Monument , Thunderfoot Baloth , or Beastmaster Ascension to swing for the win! If that doesn't work you can always attrition your opponent out with cards like the apply named Attrition . Ghave putting tokens out and sacrificing them also works well with Dictate of Erebos , Butcher of Malakir , and Grave Pact . Evolutionary Leap and Vampiric Rites are two of my favorite sac-outlets that work wonderfully in this deck.

Now get out there and make all of your friends angry! Cause this deck is resilient and grindy. Cut off one engine and there's another one that takes its place. If that sounds up your alley then have at it!
