Blessings is a nice idea for speed, though I prefer the greater power of Incremental Growth. Brainstorm would help a lot, though I'm not sure what I would take out for it after trimming out a bunch of the less useful cards in favor of others. Golgari Signet added in place of one of the basic lands.

If you can get ahold of one, I'd recommend Chasm Skulker as either a replacement to Lorescale Coatl (as it is much better), or as an in addition to the Lorescale Coatl. Plus if a boardwipe happens you've got a bunch of Islandwalking Squids to attack with while your opponent(s) have nothing, haha. Hooded Hydra gives a similar effect, but he doesn't grow each time you draw a card like the Chasm Skulker. Not sure how budget the deck is but you can probably get both for relatively cheap.
Another great card to use in conjunction with +1/+1 counter is the Kalonian Hydra as he doubles counters on all your creatures. He's a little expensive and again I don't know how budget this deck is, but he's a great addition if you can get your hands on one.
Best of luck with the deck, +1 from me!

I already have Hooded Hydra in the deck. He gets bigger after his initial play via enchantments, graft, and other +1/+1 givers. Kalonian Hydra is one I'm looking into, but I'm not sure what to replace with him once I actually get it. Maybe I'll give up the Lord of Extinction for him. Chasm Skulker's a fun idea, I'll have to see if I can get him.

I'm sorry, I totally missed that you have the Hooded Hydra in the deck. I really think the Chasm Skulker is far superior to the Lorescale Coatl as he's easier to get out (with only 1 mana symbol) and leaves you with attackers if he dies, so if you can get ahold of him I really would.
Good luck with the deck!

Sweet deck ! Why are you not running Experiment Kraj ? Seems exactly like the type of card a +1/+1 counter centric deck would want.

Because I didn't know there was a card like that. I gotta get my hands on that!

You have WAY too many lands, with the top of your curve at 7, you need 38 lands at most. Blessings of Nature has the potential to put 4 counters on something for 1 mana, which is pretty good. Brainstorm is one of the best cards in the game, because it lets you draw 3 cards for 1 mana, and its even better if you can use something like Terramorphic Expanse or one of your panorama's to shuffle away the junk you just put back onto of your library with brainstorm. You should probably pick up a Golgari Signet because its the only one you are missing.
