An abzan counters list inspired by my love for +1/+1 counters and the new Faithful Watchdog. We don't have a true Hardened Scales effect at common, but the new Expanding Ooze does a pretty good impression by adding to all our modified creatures which helps trigger cards like Knighted Myr alongside Greatsword of Tyr which also helps push damage through.

The Basking Broodscale combo can also slot nicely into a shell like this I think, but I wanted to try out a more straightforward aggro build first.
