This is a tweaked version of the GW Scales deck that Top 8'd the last GP (Indy I think?). I really want Drana to have a home in a competitive standard deck and Abzan Charm is too good of a card to pass up by going GW.

The deck is oriented solely around pumping up creatures with +1/+1 counters while being flexible enough to punch through control. The sideboard could definitely use some tweaks. I was surprised in playtesting how well this build did against Atarka Red so I think it can hold up against the top aggro builds.

EDIT1: Removed Endless One and added Servant of the Scale

EDIT2: Lands. I did some math on the benefits of deck-thinning via fetchlands and, well, yeah. That.
