This is the decklist for UG Commander 2015, "Swell the Host". The main commander is Ezuri, Claw of Progress, with the alternative commanders being Kaseto, Orochi Archmage and Prime Speaker Zegana. The objective of this deck is to play creatures with power < 3 to accrue experience counters to have one of your creatures to gain that many +1/+1 counters at the beginning of combat. There are green cards that care about counters and creating small dudes while there are blue drawing cards. There is also a small snake tribal in this deck.

The sideboard section is for cards that I removed from the original decklist, not for intended sideboard usage.

Cool synergies

• Caller of the Pack + Oran-Rief, the Vastwood -- The tokens produced by myriad will get a little bit stronger.
• Ezuri, Claw of Progress + Mycoloth -- Produce tokens to increase experience counter, then put counters onto Mycoloth to produce more tokens.
• Kaseto, Orochi Archmage + Scytheclaw (+ a creature equipped with Scytheclaw) -- Unblockable damage that causes opponents to lose half their life.

The maybeboard is a sugggestive list from http://www.mtggoldfish.com/articles/budget-commander-20-swell-the-host-upgrade.

If there are other cool synergies or cards that would be great in this deck, please let me know. Any suggestion is appreciated!
