Welcome to the chaos pits of Baeloth Barrityl - entertainer, scoundrel and nobleman!

I'm about comfortable where this deck is currently at to put it up online and add it to the <200 or so of us that run this particular combination. Initially, I wanted to run waaaayyy more enchantment auras and equipment, but the mana just isn't quick enough to get us there and keep ol' Barrityl alive, so we diverted into a more creature-supportive, +1/+1 counters-based deck with some amount of supplementary modifiers for Baeloth to start goading our opponent's creatures.

Hey, did you know this card/character has actual backstory? I didn't!

EDIT 15/08/22: The "big, flashy ending" spells like Crackle with power, Jaya's Immolating Inferno and Comet Storm weren't pulling as much weight as I'd initially thought, so they've been removed - as have some extra underused equipment/auras. With Noble Heritage hitting the field before Baeloth does, he's easily a 4/7 the turn it hits play, followed by a 6/9 during the next upkeep (more if Lae'zel is also out - 5/8 and 7/10 respectively). I'm considering replacing Bloodforged Battle-Axe with a Mangara, the Diplomat for some extra card draw, but - we'll see how this goes.
