Negative Counter Bonanza

Standard*

Sideboard


I haven't played Standard in over a year and when I saw Hapatra, Vizier of Poisons she seemed really interesting to me and kinda inspired me to build a deck around -1/-1 counters. Any help or suggestions would be great especially since I haven't been in the format for awhile.

Hapatra, Vizier of Poisons is really at the heart of this deck as she pumps out threatening snakes. She combos very well with Ammit Eternal, channeler inniate and Plague Belcher.

Obelisk Spider and Nest of Scarabs are there for support to add in extra damage and tokens, also they punish your opponent for casting any spells while Ammit Eternal is out.

Ammit Eternal + Obelisk Spider = my opponents drain themselves every spell they cast. Really Ammit Eternal and anything in the deck punishes your opponents for casting and gives you a strong advantage in either life drain, or creature tokens.

I chose Splendid Agony over Fatal Push because while it is expensive mana wise but dirt cheap $$$ wise and it also helps combo with Hapatra, Vizier of Poisons and everything else in the deck.
