This deck focuses on building up an army of massive creatures, combining lifegain and +1/+1 counters to reach unimaginable heights. A common combo is using Bioshift to move a ton of counters onto Heroes' Bane, which will add an extra if Hardened Scales is in play, then using Predator's Rapport on the Bane to gain tons of life, then casting a Voracious Wurm that's at least twice as powerful as Heroes' Bane. As long as your life total is high up, you can just take the assault from your opponents' creatures, then following up with a Kalonian Hydra, trampling over their untapped blockers to an overwhelming victory. Abzan Falconer is devastating when put out, because he will almost always give all your creatures flying! With this combination of white and green tactics, you will always have a bounty of tools for victory.

If you want sideboard options, just look to Felidar Sovereign, a card that will make itself a turn-7 win in some games. Congregate might be a better choice against some decks that run tokens or small armies, since 2 life per creature is extremely good. If you need fuel, turn to Abzan Beastmaster and Shoulder to Shoulder. Restock, Servant of the Scale, and Undergrowth Champion work great against removal, so put them in against black-red decks. And, of course, Enduring Scalelord makes for yet another combo monster!
