Tectonic Edge --> Wasteland :)

I would like to add Warden of the First Tree and Managorger Hydra, but I'm running out of cards I can cut. I'm considering dropping Consecrated Sphinx (Damia, Sage of Stone is good enough at this point), and Kruphix, God of Horizons, but especially Kruphix is hard to get rid off.

Thoughts?

Necropolis Regent practically doubles your creatures P/T when they connect with a player and gets stupid with doubling season out. I'd recommend it over your other counter producing flyer Vulturous Zombie.

I'd also recommend finding a place for Akroma's Memorial, protection/evasion/trample will let your massive creatures connect without the worry or chump blockers and will more often than not end games.. even just the Haste it grants tends to cause people to worry about what you will drop next.

I forgot to mention that I'd replace Nylea, God of the Hunt with Akroma's Memorial.

Also, think about Chord of Calling over Green Sun's Zenith. Sure it's two mana more, but it's at INSTANT speed, and can let you do shenanigans like flash in Vigor during your blocks or Necropolis Regent after your opponent's declare blockers. The extra mana is also marginal and sometimes non-existent due to convoke (the creatures can even sometimes end up being free based on your board state). doesn't have the green creature only stipulation

You can't actually play warden of the first tree because of it's color identity. It is considered abzan colors. Other than that soild list +1.

Though someone mentioned it before a while ago, I believe that Inexorable Tide could be playable here. Mostly because in EDH you play a lot of spells and it adds any kind of counter including loyalty, infect, charge etc. (Why no Everflowing Chalice? its based on counters?) And you play a lot of spells and it triggers on each spell you cast, may not insta ult like Doubling Season, but it allows for extra counters after The Doubling Season effect happens, and even the Proliferate effect gets effected by Doubling Season like cards.

Good suggestions! Thank you. And too bad about Warden of the First Tree beeing the wrong color identity :(

@PhuckyCharms:

I have no idea how I missed Necropolis Regent - excellent addition to the counters army :)

Akroma's Memorial is a bit expensive compared to Nylea, God of the Hunt, but I think the added benefits can be justified in this rampish deck.

Your arguments for Chord of Calling has also convinced me.

@Coinman1863

Everflowing Chalice is matches the counters theme and comboes nicely with Doubling Season. I see how Inexorable Tide but I can't figure out if there is anything I'd like to take out for it - do you have any suggestions?

Changes

• Chromatic Lantern --> Everflowing Chalice (mainly a flavor decision)
• Green Sun's Zenith --> Chord of Calling (see reasoning provided by PhuckyCharms)
• Consecrated Sphinx --> Necropolis Regent (less draw, more counters)
• Nylea, God of the Hunt --> Akroma's Memorial (slower but more good stuff)
• Prime Speaker Zegana --> Managorger Hydra (this girl could draw me to death)
• Kodama's Reach --> Genesis Wave (shoutout to @supercaptainpow - I should have added it way back)

ACMC from 3.29 to 3.27 (though with a couple of added X'es)

Cheers

+1 the build

I'm looting to build an EDH deck with Villainous Wealth and Mind Grind in it.

The best anti-control (and amazing control deck side board)card I can think of is Curse of Echoes. It virtually prevents your opponents from using counter spells.

switch Arcane Denial out with Mana Drain or just a Cancel. I can not think of many times when I want to trade a counter spell for them drawing an extra 2 cards.

maybe switch Swan Song with Negate it is 1 mana more but it can hit more targets and doesn't give them a 2/2 flier

@kizer5 good advice on both. I don't own a Mana Drain so I'll replace with a Cancel. I do like the cost of Swan Song so I think I'll keep it for now.

Arcane Denial --> Cancel

Cheers

Why not Replace Cancel with Dissolve, it's just plain better.

it is 8-)

Cancel --> Dissolve

Cheers

I built a proxy prototype of my take on your deck MrHighscore. It is very fun, most games come to a grinding control when I stabilize and have the board on lock down while some massive green creature attacks the opponents.I did loose 1 game when I played Doubling Season and Tamiyo, the Moon Sage on turn 5 and immediately ultimated her, the EDH quickly became archenemy. I had a Plasm Capture I used to counter multiple times and wound up with 20 free mana during my 10th turn. Oona, Queen of the Fae ability on the threatening monogreen deck for top 15 cards and 20 1/1 flyers.

@Kizer I am glad to hear that you enjoyed the deck. Do you have a link for your take on the deck?

I also find this deck very enjoyable, as it lets me hit people with big broken monsters. Usually I try holding back the counter spells for Damia defense, and let other people do their stuff.

Cheers

Thoughts on what to drop to make room for bfz cards?

Cheers

You could use scatter to the winds over dissolve. It's got awaken three, which puts counters on your lands, and you could use ruinous path, but I'm not sure what to drop for it. You could take out putrefy because it fits the flavor more, and instead of killing artifacts it kills planeswalkers and can awaken lands like scatter to the winds.

To be more specific, I was thinking what should I drop for Drana, Liberator of Malakir?

I am planning on swapping City of Brass with Sunken Hollow.

Would anything be worth taking out for Endless One, Skyrider Elf, Undergrowth Champion or Kiora, Master of the Depths? I really like the cards, but I'm not sure they are good enough.

I won't swap Dissolve with Scatter to the Winds. Ruinous Path is very nice (I'm playing it in Salt Liquorice Assault (SLA)), but in this dekc I prefer the counter spells as Damia protection.

Cheers

• Solemn Simulacrum --> Kiora, Master of the Depths
• City of Brass --> Sunken Hollow
• Skyshroud Claim --> Drana, Liberator of Malakir

Cheers

Although there are many great cards in this deck, and it looks good on paper, in practice you go for turns without doing anything. I'd cut everflowing chalice in favor of more mana fixing rocks like chromatic lantern and the signets. The deck should use a lot of small spells and creatures to fully utilize damia. The point is to overextend so that the return is that much greater.

@Paradox_67 Thank you for the feedback! What other cards would you change to make this deck top of tier 3, while still staying true to the +1/+1 counters theme?

Happy Holidays
