This is a White/Green deck featuring mostly Soldiers and low cost creatures. The point of this deck is to get as many counters on as many creatures as you can and just beat your opponent down with juggernaut monsters. In an ideal hand by turn 3 you can deal 10+ flying dmg to your opponent. This deck ramps many counters on creatures and allows for decent life gain. I have made creatures in this deck achieve 20+ counters with ease in just a few moves.

Lagonna-Band Trailblazer is a good starter here. He is a 0/4 works great as a starter blocker to block just about anything coming in the first two/three turns. Start to buff him with counters and he get's huge quick becomes almost unstoppable at 4/6 and needs removal spells to be properly dealt with. Favored Hoplite is also a good starter his heroic resistance to combat damage is an amazing juggernaut tactic. Hardened Scales and Ordeal of Heliod work great here with the heroic triggers. All happens in one turn if creature has 0 counters on it.

Feat of Resistance and Gods Willing are absolutely important here without these cards this deck has no protection and you will lose everything you worked to buff with counters. They also double as a way to get that last hit in with going pro color against your opponents colors to prevent being blocked on one of your heavy hitting countered juggernauts.

Abzan Falconer is great to turn any creatures with counters into flyers instantly. This is a real combat field changer and wins many games on the spot.

If all else fails sideboard in Ajani, Mentor of Heroes and try to collect sufficient mana and grab a Fleecemane Lion and get him into monstrosity and try to counter build him for the win.

The bane of this deck is Hornet Nest, Hornet Queen, and Stormbreath Dragon. To deal with the Queen and Dragon adding Plummet from your sideboard is a must. There is nothing u can really do about hornets nest except exile or get your creatures to fly over it. If a player is running all three of these cards chances are you're not going too fare well.

End Hostilities If this card is being used, its best to sit back and wait for Fleecemane Lion to come into play and try everything you can to protect him and get him into monstrous mode or its gg.
