I was looking through some cards put to the side and found 4 Warden of the First Trees and 4 Hardened Scales...... Here it is lol! Its what i do, not very good at building decks yet but finally resigned to playing tier one competitively so learning a thing or too so just watch.
So this is a counter producing deck obviously due to Hardened Scales. The object is to be able to trample over the board and reach/block/fight any flyers or relevant opposing creatures. While still being able to swing a couple really big trample dudes.
All the creatures in this deck are 3 or less cmc so Collected Company is an inclusion. Only a 3 of because of the presence of Hangarback Walker and their obvious problems together unless of course there was a T1 Hardened Scales. But thats all just in the line of justification for the addition of Hangarback Walker. Company can drop a couple creatures that will put a counter on themselves so Avatar of the Resolute is great. Even the 3/2 trample body with reach is relevant without counters added.
Hangarback Walker is only a 2 of because it NEEEEDS hardened scales out to be a target for Collected Company. And compnay is too good in this list to go down on that.
Ainok Guide This card is only good because of the multiple things it can do for this deck. One obviously is a 3/3 for 2 on T2 with a T1 Hardened Scales. And of course the obvious mana fixer part. May add a splash of something because of Ainok but will take some sugestions.
Avatar of the Resolute OMG! This card is bonkers with ANYTHING to help it along............ Collected Company no creatures on the battlefield, in the top 6 you find Ainok Guide or Servant of the Scale and a Avatar of the Resolute. Swing next turn with 5 or 6 let alone if you have multiple counter possessing creatures when company resolves.
Servant of the Scale Simply a way to keep counters on the battlefield. But exile is a pretty big thing atm lol. But use it on him go ahead.
Ainok Bond-Kin A one of for its implications to the whole of my deck.
Undergrowth Champion Solid card that has to be dealt with immediately that can stabilize the game for me. Coupled with Ainok Bond-Kin Thats block lose no counters shenanigans.
Dromoka's Command This is an obvious addition. So many white enchantment creature hate, burn like deflecting palm, retreats, opposing combo creatures/mana dorks.
Managorger Hydra Was not always a 4 of, but is now. Without hardened scales its still really ok! I don't want to play him T3 but will happily T4 then something else. But T1 Hardened Scales then a T3 Managorger Hydra means next thing you do better be burn it for 3 or exile it soon.
Now Warden of the First Tree. Yes it is hard to get counters on him unless by way of Dromoka's Command, But the 3/3 trample lifelink is easy and he begs responses. He fits perfectly!
Hidden Dragonslayer is a MB inclusion as one because of the potential help in the life department, his megamorph counter is synergistic and the megamorph ability is always useful agianst any deck in the format.
Pathway Arrows I put in one because of the havoc colorless creatures can reek, Plus the combo pieces cause you know alot are 1 toughness. There is also that off chance I have first strike and then it becomes more impactful so I also put one in the SB.
My sideboard is not set yet but figured id put the one I have atm up. Still learning what this deck needs to put there. Thanks for reading!
