Modern BGW (Abzan, Junk) Budget Casual Counters

This is a deck inspired by the Abzan House , the main idea is creating +1/+1 counters to help create devastating combos.

Abzan Falconer , Ainok Bond-Kin , Mer-Ek Nightblade , Abzan Battle Priest , all have the ability Outlast, but more so they all provide different abilities to each creature you control with a +1/+1 counter on it. Fleecemane Lion paired with these abilities, and it's potential Monstrosity allows this combination to be very effective and deadly. To help with the synergy of outlast I have also included Ivorytusk Fortress as you can outlast and during the opponents untap step all of your creatures with +1/+1 counters also untap pretty much creating a Vigilance effect.

As counter generators you have Creatures such as : Dragonscale General , Managorger Hydra , and Servant of the Scale

As counter generators you have Instants such as : Reap What Is Sown , Dromoka's Command , and Abzan Charm (With the latter 2 providing some removal as well)

As Counter multipliers you have Corpsejack Menace , and Hardened Scales

[Example: You have a Corpsejack Menace and Hardened Scales already on the battlefield, you then summon Servant of the Scale , he gets +1/+1 for entering the battlefield, Hardened Scales then triggers make that (2)+1/+1, and then Corpsejack Menace triggers causing the amount to double, and ends up being (4)+1/+1.]

I have a lot of fun with this deck and putting it together, and suggestions are welcome.

Updates Add

Removed 2x Corpsejack Menace and 1x Servant of the Scale (The cost of Corpsejack Menace outweighed the ability to play him, he is a great card but definitely not needed as WinCon)

Added 2x Tuskguard Captain and 1x Fleecemane Lion (Even with flying it wasn't guaranteeing I would deal damage to my opponent, so with the addition of Trample that should allow the majority of the damage to go through, also the Fleecemane Lion was an excellent addition and definitely worth a 4 spot)
