This is a modern legal deck that aims to play off Draw to get card advantage, but also to buff creatures.

The main feature is draw to add counters to Chasm Skulker and Lorescale Coatl. The main draw mechanic is cantrips such as Peek and Remand into the Treasure Cruise. Comboed with Harden Scales to double the counters. Then Ordeal of Thassa allows adding counters to other creatures while still triggering draw, or just increasing the number of counters on Chasm Skulker. Finally with Aqueous Form to make the big things unblockable and deal lethal damage.

There is also Zameck Guildmage which can be abused for a card for two mana without reducing the number of counters on a creature, while increasing the number on other creatures. Finally, there is Mana Leak and Remand in an attempt to protect my creatures as they are growing.

I haven't actually built this deck yet, and I am still looking through the very large stack of modern cards to see if there is any better fits. All suggestions are welcome!

P.S That mana base is a budgetary pipe dream
