The deck revolves around building a wide board of ability monsters that share their ability for any creature that holds at least one +1/+1 Counter. Also has a couple of sacrifice infinites as thats the main way to horde the field by pulling from the graveyard.

Reyhan, Last of the Abzan will convert any +1/+1 counters you may lose from creature deaths into a taller creature on the board.

Akroma, Vision of Ixidor will make your wide board taller for better swing power. Ideally a win-con summon to swing for game.

The main infinite this deck uses is:

1. Ashnod's Altar as a sac engine to build mana.
2. Body Launderer as a Connive tool and graveyard searching tool.
3. Brought Back to recycle Body Launderer.
4. Isochron Scepter to recycle Brought Back.
5. Dross Scorpion to untap Isochron Scepter.

Using this connive loop, you can search your entire deck, throw what you need in the graveyard, and summon it back on the field from the graveyard in the same turn. Odric, Lunarch Marshal grants haste through Beastcaller Savant and also protects Shalai, Voice of Plenty with her own hexproof. These abilities are unattainable through Body Launderer's "Power of 3 or less" limitation and Outlast/Modified monsters that are Abzan colored so this may be one of the few ways to swing on the same turn of piecing the main infinite together.

Ability monsters you are looking to pull from this deck are:

• Abzan Falconer for flying
• Abzan Battle Priest for lifelink
• Ainok Bond-Kin for first strike
• Mer-Ek Nightblade for deathtouch
• Tuskguard Captain for trample
• Shalai, Voice of Plenty for hexproof

The following are also shared +1/+1 counter abilities but do not work with Akroma, Vision of Ixidor:

• Sporeback Troll for Regenerate
• Arcus Acolyte for Outlast
• Battlefront Krushok for Menace

Tall or Tool cards that are tutorable through Body Launderer are:

• Fungal Behemoth
• Ascendant Acolyte
• Avatar of the Resolute

Sac Engines:

• Ashnod's Altar
• Phyrexian Altar

+1/+1 Counter Sources

• Ajani Goldmane
• Ajani, the Greathearted
• Kalonian Hydra
• Retreat to Kazandu
• Hardened Scales
• Arcus Acolyte or any source of Outlast

+1/+1 Counter Storage and Distribution

• Forgotten Ancient
• Sporeback Troll
• Crystalline Crawler

+1/+1 Counter Expenses for Removal or Mana

• Retribution of the Ancients
• Shinewend
• Crystalline Crawler

Some combos with creatures you can still pull with Body Launderer:

• Faith's Reward + Bloodspore Thrinax
• Retribution of the Ancients + Geralf's Messenger + Ashnod's Altar
• One with the Kami + Reyhan, Last of the Abzan
• Mer-Ek Nightblade + Viridian Longbow + Dread Slaver*
• • Dread Slaver is not necessary to use for the removal via deathtouch/burn, but he enables Creature stealing.

Endgame Cards:

• Eerie Ultimatum
• Damning Verdict
