Green/Blue dominance based on counters. Counters to buff stuff. Counters to kill stuff. Counters for infinite stuff. Counters to win the game.

This deck has a revolving cast of generals: Vorel, Ezuri, Experiment Kraj, Momir Vig, Prime Speaker, Pir and Toothy, Thrasios. They are all good. Lately I have been all about Momir Vig. Use him to go get Kraj and then Gilder Bairn and then Gyre Sage and then infinite mana and counters. I like Ezuri quite a bit too. The Sage of Hours combo being the finisher. Sometimes I just feel like getting stompy and I just double counters up with Vorel. It depends on my mood. There are some artifacts that are fun too. Contagion Engine is fun for killing off someone's board with all the proliferation and Vorel/Gilder Bairn. Lux Cannon and Darksteel Reactor are a good time too...for me.

Doubling Season FTW!
