~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

This is my first edh deck, so I had some help from some of my friends in making a few of the final cuts as well as figuring out what would work the best in our playgroup. I haven't had much chance to test the balancing, but everything looks nice on paper. The idea is to be able to tap and untap Vorel as many times as possible with creatures or other types of counters to pull out a win. There are a few set ups for combat wins and I have included things such as Darksteel Reactor.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Maybe board: Is some of the cards that I cut and replaced, but is mostly there for quick reference or ideas if you are building a similar deck.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Mana (Ramp and Fixing):Cultivate, Chromatic Lantern, Sol Ring, Freyalise, Llanowar's Fury, Fertilid, Gyre Sage, Everflowing Chalice, Gemstone Array, and the speciality lands.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Card Draw: Arcanis the Omnipotent , Fathom Mage, Prime Speaker Zegana, Rhystic Study, Sylvan Library, Freyalise, Llanowar's Fury, Kiora, the Crashing Wave, Tamiyo, the Moon Sage , Teferi, Temporal Archmage.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

C-c-combos: (for the win or to set up something silly):

Biovisionary + Rite of Replication or Infinite Reflection

Any of the Hydras + Rite of Replication or Infinite Reflection + Nylea, God of the Hunt or Thassa, God of the Sea or Ring of Kalonia or Tuskguard Captain Basically get something that is pretty large with an effect that will help it hit your opponent.

Vorel of the Hull Clade + Kiora's Follower or Prophet of Kruphix or Freed from the Real or anything of the untap nature.

Doubling Season + Vorel of the Hull Clade or Hardened Scales or Contagion Engine or Solidarity of Heroes For the doubling the doubling of counters.Additionally, Illusionist's Bracers + Vorel of the Hull Clade

Gilder Bairn + Paradise Mantle + Training Grounds (Personal favorite, makes an infinite mana loop for doubling.)

Darksteel Reactor + Vorel of the Hull Clade You can use things such as Power Conduit and Energy Chamber to help speed this up.
