A new, considerably more silly and effective iteration of my first EDH deck, Counter Hell. Instead of utilizing mainly creatures and a flimsy combo involving Sage of Hours, this deck is essentially a semi superfriends deck all about creating chaos on the entire board space through the use of planeswalkers, counter and token generation and abusing the etb effect of the insanity that is the Deepglow Skate . With this deck, you are pretty much certain at one point to ult at least one Planeswalker at the very least each game.

How It Works: Ok, so we know that planeswalker or superfriends decks are absurd by default. However, what I have seldom seen is the incorporation of ETB effect abuse in decks of this kind. With a good arsenal of flashing spells like Felidar Guardian, Conjurer's Closet, Venser, the Sojourner and Kaya, Ghost Assassin, we can flash in and out Deepglow Skate for doubling counters of all kinds, Eternal Witness for routine recursion and Craterhoof Behemoth for ridiculous creature pumping (however, this can be utilized through Kaya, Ghost Assassin and Felidar Guardian exclusively). If you want to double the insanity, throw down a Panharmonicon have these ETBs trigger twice!

In regards to the planeswalkers, one of the key approaches of the deck incorporates using the ultimate of Vraska the Unseen to generate the win con Assassin token and either make them unblockable via Thassa, God of the Sea or Rogue's Passage or alternatively pump them with Craterhoof Behemoth, giving the tokens +X/+X and trample, so you can squeeze through just enough toughness to deal lethal combat damage.

While there is much more to the deck than this, I will periodically add more techs as I see fit or discover them. Let me know if you have any suggestions!
