Welcome to my version of Counter Abuse. It revolves around Animar, Soul of Elements and his myriad of tools that giveth counters and taketh them away. It is mainly an aggro deck and you will soon find yourself in the middle of all your friend's crosshairs!

Main goal: Get Animar, Soul of Elements to @ 8 +1/+1 counters so you can pretty much play anything for (near) free. Another option is to fatten up Gyre Sage for beefy mana ramp. This deck isn't by any means fast, but it sure is fun.

Combo's:1: Animar, Soul of Elements + Any of the creatures in this deck]]

2: Gigantomancer + anything with a base P/T 0. Instantly buffs up hydra's by 7 P/T.

3: Animar, Soul of Elements + Palinchron for infinite mana, and an infinitely large Animar, Soul of Elements. It does require Animar being @ 2-4 +1/+1 counters already and having @ 6 mana to use.

4: Kalonian Hydra + Sage of Hours + anything that gives Sage of Hours at least 3 +1/+1 counters.Forgotten Ancient + Immaculate Magistrate + Solidarity of Heroes + Strength of the Tajuru + Bioshift are some examples

5: Vorel of the Hull Clade + anything with counters currently on it. Use with Staff of Domination for added untapping fun!

6: Things to use Isochron Scepter with Lightning Bolt + Burst of Strength + Bioshift + Solidarity of Heroes. Solidarity of Heroes will probably be the most powerful in this deck.

Please leave some constructive criticism if you see something that I may have overlooked. Enjoy!
