Make -1/-1 counters great again

Standard Deck Help forum

Well, so Felidar Guardian is banned and Standard is great again. Huzzah.

This set has been one of my favorite to brew around in quite some time. I have made a Drake Haven deck, an aristocrats deck and a super janky but sweet Nissa "Collected Company" deck, but my favorite brew and one with the most potential in my mind (unless control takes over with copy-cat out of the picture, then who knows) is a Golgari -1/-1 counter deck. It's super fun to play and mostly centered around Hapatra, Vizier of Poisons and Archfiend of Ifnir. It's really great against creature focused decks, but I'm struggling with an anti-control package. One obvious card is Prowling Serpopard but not sure after that.

So I need some help and I want to see your -1/-1 counter decks! It's a sweet archetype that might have some legs and has a ton of different shells.

Vizier of the Negative Counters

Happy Brewing!

A fellow negative counters Hapatra deck I see.I know it's a different iteration of my deck but bear with me. I don't think Ruthless Sniper are necessary, that's a lot of turn 2 too. I'd add +1 Archfiend of Ifnir too since it's one of the focus on your deck and switch the Ruthless Sniper with a counter-making creature, so that you'd remove -1 Channeler Initiate.

Sorry if I've not been of much help, I'm new to deck-brewing ! Here's my Golgari -1/-1 counters : [AKH only] Hapatra -1/-1.
