Ghave counters/tokens deck.

This is a synergy deck focused on Ghave. Every creature and +1/+1 counter on your side of the board is a resource. Start out with some creatures that produce +1/+1 counters and get Ghave into play.

You can go a few different routes depending on how the game is looking. Sometimes I like to try to swarm the table by converting most +1/+1 counters into creatures. Other times, it makes sense to sacrifice most creatures to trigger effects like Grave Pact or Fecundity.

My biggest weaknesses are voltron style hexproof fliers (Sigarda is a huge pain for this deck) and decks that will attack Ghave heavily. To mitigate these things, I have several cards planted to try and deal with the big fliers, although drawing them is another matter, and 4 slots devoted to hexproof protection for Ghave. If Ghave does go down, the deck does have some resilience to win without him.

Further, there are several combos available. Ghave + Earthcraft is usually an auto win by itself but can go infinite with just 1 more counter or mana doubler.

Am I missing anything you find useful in your Ghave builds?
