Budget EDH 04 - +1/+1 Counters

Commander / EDH Budget Counters GU (Simic) Tempo

Diddle


This is the 4th deck in a series of fun, simple, and reasonably strong commander decks that cost around $100. This one is focused around the very popular commander Vorel of the Hull Clade . The goal is to play efficient creatures and grow their power to unreasonable amounts as fast as possible. We use this by starting with a few counters, than adding more and more until we are able to swing in with a horde of unstoppable titans. This deck isn't very heavy in the way of combos, but can create infinite blue mana using Incubation Druid + Vigean Graftmage .

This deck can be taken in many different directions through upgrades, but I'm only going to be giving examples that can boost the power of this deck on their own, no combo pieces or infect cards as they start to take the deck away from its original build and I would be typing this for hours.

Ezuri, Claw of Progress : Ezuri is the true commander for this deck, giving us endless amounts of counters from the small creatures we are already playing.

Cyclonic Rift : I personally hate this card because of it's "This resolved so I win" nature, but I won't deny any deck running blue should also be running rift for it's insanely efficient removal of just about anything you could want without interfering with your own plans.

Kalonian Hydra : This card wins games fast, that's all there is to it. The same is true for just about any hydra such as Primordial Hydra , Mistcutter Hydra , or Lifeblood Hydra .

Disallow , Voidslime , Counterspell , Mana Drain , or any other counterspells of your choice: 1-to-1 counterspells typically aren't amazing in commander, but they give you a way to deny your opponents of their win conditions and protect your own board from wraths or other destructive effects.

Inexorable Tide : This card is simply absurd. Any spell you cast is also going to grow your creatures and has some other fun interactions with cards such as Fathom Mage .

Hydroid Krasis This could also be included in the hydra group. This card is a huge flying threat, a lot of card advantage, and is an absolute must in this deck.
