Important Combo: Citadel Siege + Hardened Scales combined with any creature so long as you can protect it.

The key cards in this deck so far have definitely been Citadel Siege which can either give you two +1/+1 counters on each of your combat steps (amazing when combined with Hardened Scales) and can very quickly turn even the humble 1/1 Elvish Mystic into a behemoth to rival the biggest of green fatties. I already mentioned Hardened Scales which serves to provide even more +1/+1 counters to our arsenal. Ajani, Mentor of Heroes is another obvious choice for MVP card. Three +1/+1 counters to distribute as I see fit? And an additional counter from any Hardened Scales? Thank you kindly!

But there are some great supporters in here to make this deck gross. Sandsteppe Mastodon bolsters huge when it hits the board and makes a nice deterrent for fliers. Tuskguard Captain and Abzan Battle Priest all serve to make these big creatures even more beneficial. And the Fleecemane Lion makes a perfect target for the swarms of counters you can produce.

And a surprising standout in my play testing has been Abzan Kin-Guard which gets some lovely lifelink when you control a white permanent, which this deck has plenty of. Finally, we have the humble Abzan Beastmaster to give us some steady card draw once our fatties get up and running.

My rational behind the side board is to swap out the Sandsteppe Mastodon and/or Dromoka, the Eternal for the Arashin Cleric and/or Ainok Bond-Kin against fast aggro decks, and also to swap out the mastodons or the Cached Defenses for Ranger's Guile against heavy control decks.

Feel free to comment and leave any suggestions! I'm always down for feedback to help me improve my deck building skills!
