This is my Thrasios, Triton Hero counterspell deck which has brought me moderate success. It has a focus on ramp to take advantage of Thrasios's mana sink ability, and the wincon is Deadeye Navigator+Peregrine Drake or Great Whale for infinite mana into Blue Sun's Zenith or Laboratory Maniac with Thrasios to draw your entire deck. I'm looking for more ways to optimize the list. I've had problems finding green mana in my opening hands in the past, hence the higher than normal ratio of Forests and the Chromatic Lantern. Cards I'm planning to add are Baral, Chief of Compliance, Worldly Tutor, and Counterspell. You won't be the favorite player at the table if you play this deck, but you should be able to keep people off scary things and generate massive value with Thrasios as the game progresses. Thanks for checking it out!
