Because I don't have any, lol. I'm trying to see what I can build with the cards I have, and Mentor of Heroes isn't in my collection. But If the money is good one day soon, I may consider getting one or two. Thanks for the suggestions!

I Played this deck tonight with Slight difference. Played without the Temple of Plenty and Windswept Heath. Also subbed the Polukronos, World Eater for Hooded Hydra. Just because i cant afford those.
What i might suggest is replacing the Tuskguard captains with Nylea, God of the Hunt. Will give all the creatures Trample without needing the Counters. Play 2 of them and then you will have 60 Cards Exactly.
I will try it like that and let you know.

I think you will like the DOT (Dragons of Tarkir) set for a couple of reasons. Mainly for two low drops that work really well with +1/+1 counters.
Do you like a GG 3/2 with reach and trample from the start that gets bigger for every creature with a +1/+1 counter on it? Did I mention that hardened scales add to this growth?
How about a two drop enchantment that gives vigilance and gives a +1/+1 (not a counter) for +1/+1 counters? It also allows you to bolster :3 I liked it a lot and you might get a kick out of it too.

Oh I am looking forward to dusting this deck off and figuring out which DOT cards will be amazing. Good catch on the Nylea swap. Not sure why I didn't think of that, lol.

Another card that may be fun to add would be Kalonian Hydra. He'd double all your counters and comes with trample.

That would be good if I made this a Modern deck. Sadly, that card rotated out of standard :( But you are absolutely right that it would be a beast!

Sadly, no. I've taken a break from Magic as being a teacher means little to no money during the summer. I'll be back when income starts coming in again in the fall :)

What about Ordeal of Nylea for mana ramp plus it gives out counters. I think it's great value in this deck

The mana curve is way high too. For a good 1 drop what about Experiment One. It's a durable creature that benefits from counters

Can I ask why you chose Ajani Steadfast over Ajani, Mentor of Heroes?
Do you think cards like Ainok Bond-Kin, Abzan Battle Priest, etc. would help if you wanted to make this deck budget friendly? This wouldn't be for the Outlast ability but the second... I don't know the descriptive word... static ability? "Gives Trample, Deathtouch, Taps creature, etc"
Alright, now with those questions asked, I really like this. I think Bolster is an underrated ability and I hope this deck does well for you :)
