This is my Sapling of Colfenor deck. The idea is to "grow" the Sapling by putting +1/+1 counters on her and defeating the opponents with Commander damage. If that fails, there's a bunch of big creatures that can do the job for you.

Sapling of Colfenor acts both as a main win condition and as a draw engine. About a third of the cards in the deck are creatures, so the chances of getting card advantage by attacking with the Sapling are quite high. To increase the chances, I've added a few ways to manipulate the library, such as Reaper of the Wilds and Crystal Ball.

I'd appreciate any help and suggestions on how to improve my deck. I try to keep my deck fair, so don't bother with cards like Worldslayer.

Feel free to comment with your thoughts, and give me a +1 if you like the deck!

Thanks!
