So, we're blowing the opponent out of the water with counters, and gaining life as we're doing it. Fairly self explanatory. One thing that's different than other versions of this deck is a card I just recently discovered, Gleam of Authority . Basically, you give two creatures a +1/+1 counter for one white mana, and it gives one vigilance. This is super useful, and you'll get value out of it even it the creature is destroyed anytime after your next turn, this is why many people shy away from auras, if the creature dies, it's a big waste of mana. Hardened Scales combo's really well with this.Servant of the Scale is another uncommon one, it's a nice one drop that gives it's counters to other creatures, great to build on because when it dies, it makes something else more powerful. A real pain.

Other than that, it's pretty simple, I'm keeping it pretty much budget, but am willing to stray occasionally, and obviously standard.

Any advice would be great! Thanks!
