Counters galore!

+1/+1, -1/-1, Experience, and Poison

Overall the deck is very creature heavy. With the exceptions of Plaxcaster Frogling and Triskelion, the creatures in this deck's power are less than 2 to ensure Ezuri, Claw of Progress's enter-the-battlefield effect triggers. There's very little in the way of traditional blue control as the goal is to fan out quickly with Ezuri on the battlefield and to start swinging at your opponent immediately, predominantly with infect.

Blighted Agent is the superstar, followed closely by Grafted Exoskeleton + Invisible Stalker . Aqueous Form or Whirler Rogue + any of the many creatures with infect also help to ensure you can get your opponent to 10 poison counters as quickly as possible.

Lignify, and Imprisoned in the Moon help to nullify your opponent's commander. (I'm hoping to add Song of the Dryads soon as well.)

Hangarback Walker, Hornet Queen, Chasm Skulker, Awakening Zone, and From Beyond help to increase the potential number of experience counters you can acquire when they enter the battlefield. Doubling Season, Primal Vigor, and Hardened Scales help to maximize both the number of tokens (except for Hardened Scales) and the number of +1/+1 counters placed at the beginning of combat. Curse of Predation ensures your creatures remain a threat with every attack.

Sage of Hours has the potential to lock out your opponent with infinite turns, compelling them to concede.

Fun combos:

• Fetching Dryad Arbor to trigger both landfall and Ezuri's first ability.
• Giving your opponent 3 life to cast Invigorate and killing them with infect.

Cards under consideration:

• Scavenging Ooze
• Panharmonicon
• Animation Module
• Thrummingbird
• Managorger Hydra
• Collected Company
