My version of a Skullbriar, the Walking Grave voltron deck.

Unlike a typical voltron deck, I stayed away from using a high number of artifacts and enchantments, instead favoring creature synergy built around either +1/+1 counters or other kinds of counters. While this is mainly a voltron deck, a powerful board state of creatures sharing abilities based around +1/+1 counters can be easily made. I've included some handy recursion spells to use if Skullbriar dies, some of which buff him up even more, such as Call of the Death-Dweller. The recursion spells can also be used on the Titanoth Rex or Void Beckoner after they have been cycled. There's also a wide variety of instant spells that can keep him alive.

Suggestions are welcome.
