I transformed this weak Vampire Zombie deck into a counter colossus. With Ghave, Guru of Spores I have control over sacking tokens mainly produced by Endrek Sahr, Master Breeder, Bloodline Keeper, Korozda Guildmage, Garruk Relentless, and Abhorrent Overlord. With Undying I use Geralf's Messenger, and Butcher Ghoul to sacrifice, then steal a counter from with Ghave. I'll be adding Vorapede, and Fertilid for more counter manipulation, and land grabbing from my deck.

When I gain life Ajani's Pridemate grabs a +1+1 counter. High Sentinels of Arashin not only gives counters, but gets =1=1 for each other creature I control with a +1+1 counter on it. Gyre Sage uses +1+1 counters for green mana production. Hooded Hydra uses +1+1 counters to power up when flipped, being a morph card. Mer-Ek Nightblade has outlast, and can have counters added to him. He also gives all other creatures I have with +1+1 counters deathtouch. Abzan Battle Priest Has outlast as well, and gives all other creatures I have with +1+1 counters lifelink.

Aegis Angel, and Darksteel Plate Can give Hornet Nest Indestructible to produce an army of flying insects with deathtouch.

Enchantments are the second main part of this deck. Enchantment Auras like Holy Mantle, and Spectra Ward are to be used on Guardian of the Gateless to allow her to block any and all creatures attacking. And if she would be paired with either Aegis Angel, or Darksteel Plate she would gain indestructible. The other enchantment auras are meant to be used on my Agent of the Fates to do what his job says he does, and assassinate an opponent's creatures every time an aura is attached.

For lifegain I use Zarichi Tiger, PristineTalisman, and Vizkopa Guildmage who can also be used for an opponent's life loss. Sorin Markov is to be used for opponent life loss as well. Sorin works with Blood Baron of Vizkopa to make the Baron a 10/10 and give him flying.

I can not forget Treasury Thrull for grave-digging an Artifact, Creature, or Enchantment when he attacks.

This deck is a work in progress.
