Ahhhhhh. With Allegiance being released soon, we get the Simic Combine and all the merfolk/counters goodness. As more spoilers come out the list will be updated. The idea of the deck to to amass a buttload of counters on my merfolk to blast through my opponents defenses and withstand big creature. The deck also should and will be resilient against token decks because of unblockable Herald of Secret Streams or trample Zegama, Utopian Speaker. Shapers of Nature is now a main deck include because of counter manipulation; either put one or take one off to draw a card and reactivate the new adapt ability. Jade Bearer, Merfolk Branchwalker, Jadelight Ranger, Deeproot Elite, Kumena, Tyrant of Orazca, Hadana's Climb   all have the ability to put counters on themselves or others. Forerunner of the Heralds acts like additional copies of my creatures so I have the flexibility to pull out whatever i need in any situation.
