COUNTERS! A standard-legal counter adding, face smashing, creature trampling, high-flying, life-gaining, fairly quick-tempo deck which is meant to catch opponents off guard and be quite competitive with a good sideboard.
THE CARDS:
Hardened Scales: One of the primary workhorses in this deck. Get a +1/+1 counter? Add another! This card allows your creatures to become frighteningly powerful, frighteningly quick. Is synergistic with everything in the deck, especially Daghatar - each time you move one counter with him, the creature gets two.
Inspiring Call: This card draws... a ton of cards. It also essentially makes all of your creatures indestructible when you play it, allowing you to swing for the fences without fear.
Avatar of the Resolute: GG, literally and figuratively. Bring him in as a 7/6 with reach and trample, and then play inspiring call. Make a dragon wanna retire, man.
Tuskguard Captain: Gives all my creatures trample.
Abzan Falconer: Makes all my creatures fly.
Abzan Battlepriest: Gives all my creatures lifelink.
Daghatar the Adamant: 4/4 for 4 that multiplies counters.
Favored Hoplite: 1/2 for W that gets counters from Gleam of Authority.
Gleam of Authority: Makes HYOOOGE creatures in this deck for mad cheap.
Anafenza, Kin-tree Spirit: So good I almost want 4, but she's legendary. Every time you play a creature, get a counter. Move them with Daghatar, or leave 'em there. Who cares?
Suggestions are welcome; especially for a sideboard. So far I have 4 Valorous Stance as a definite; would like to run it mainboard, but don't want to swap anything out. Maybe go down to three each of the "power bestowers" (tuskguard, falconer, battle priest)?
