Increasing Savagery

Sorcery

Put five +1/+1 counters on target creature. If Increasing Savagery was cast from a graveyard, put ten +1/+1 counters on that creature instead.

Flashback (You may cast this card from your graveyard for its flashback cost. Then exile it.)

Also: any time I see Gyre Sage all I can think about is Increasing Savagery. Few things are as wonderful as casting increasing savagery on the sage, then flashing it back, on the sage again, by tapping the sage. Not an insta-win or anything, but definitely an achievement to unlock.

I see you've got the odd thing that can (or just does) put tokens on an opponent's creature, have you thought about a Generous Patron to draw cards? Patron can buff your Commander if you want, but can also draw you some cards on the spot while providing a blocker, and it can keep drawing cards with subsequent counters.

Not sure if it's a big enough buff, but Increasing Savagery can be pretty substantial.

Ashaya, Soul of the Wild and other stuff that can turn Skullbriar into a land can make your Commander pretty hard to bounce, including with Cyclonic Rift. There are way fewer bounce spells that can target lands, and land removal/hate isn't overwhelmingly common.

Nesting Grounds can move a counter around, not always worthwhile but it's a handy card if you're putting counters on other creatures for whatever reason.

Daring Fiendbonder can give Skullbriar an Indestructible counter, a very good type to have access to, in addition to being a 5/1 Haste for 4 mana if you just want a body to swing at a vulnerable player with.

It's headed down in price (and might go lower), so I feel like mentioning Shizo, Death's Storehouse, Fear is pretty useful evasion, and a land is a nice source. In the same vein (and also on the pricey side) Witch's Clinic, which can give any Commander Lifelink. These are both nice because they tend to stick around, and I think both can affect other people's Commanders in a pinch.

Love this deck! I think Solidarity of Heroes would fit beautifully here, as well as sorceries like Increasing Savagery and Visions of Dominance. Also not sure what your budget limit is but Hydra's Growth is pretty cheap and is always a menace in my Skullbriar, the Walking Grave deck (all these cards actually come from his deck)

Any reccomendations would be great, I'm fairly new to Magic so I don't have a ton of experience. The deck plays out like this: Get as much mana on the board as you can as fast as possible. When you have enough, play Increasing Savagery on Marwyn, the Nurturer, tap it for 6, and if you have a spare mana, play it again. Next turn tap Marwyn for 16 + tap all lands except 1 white (for Blacksmith's Skill in case you need it...I used this because it protects both creatures and potentially enchantments) to play Genesis Wave and put out all permanents (ideally you get Colossification/Mayael's Aria out if you don't have Mayael already) or just play Colossification or Increasing Savagery, and win on the next upkeep with Mayael's Aria.

Here’s the scenario: I have one Thunderkin Awakener on the battlefield with toughness greater than 2 because of something like Increasing Savagery. I have another Thunderkin in the graveyard with a Ball Lightning. I attack with the Thunderkin, use the ability to pull the other Thunderkin from the graveyard and put it into play tapped and attacking. I wouldn’t be able to use the second Thunderkin to pull out the Ball Lightning because the ability triggers upon declaring attackers. Since the second Thunderkin comes into play tapped and attacking, it’s ability won’t trigger, Right?

Feel like 16 lands isn't quite enough, I'd say add 2-3 forests and maybe -1 Solidarity of Heroes -1 Increasing Savagery. Good build!

wallisface on $80 Sleepy Wakey Dragon Deck

Interesting build. It feels like a very risky gameplan, as almost all of your spells do nothing if you don't have a creature to target, and your creature count is so small that it feels like a single Fatal Push could basically end your boardstate indefinitely (I understand you have Snakeskin Veil, but the odds of having that and a creature in your opening hand is only 24%, so can't be relied upon)

Have you considered running Increasing Savagery so that you can get the Slumbering Dragon functional with one spell instead of multiple? That would free up some room in the deck to run more board-control options, which should help also.
