Lathiel, the Bounteous Dawn
Legendary Creature — Unicorn
Lifelink
At the beginning of each end step, if you gained life this turn, distribute up to that many +1/+1 counters among any number of other target creatures.

I have replaced Angel of Jubilation with Lathiel, the Bounteous Dawn, because, as much as I fond of angels, Lathiel is a better math for the theme and strategy of this deck (i.e., gaining life and placing +1/+1 counters on creatures).
DemonDragonJ on Why Do Some Creatures Not …
3 weeks ago
The new canopy gargantuan from Tarkir: Dragonstorm can place +1/+1 counters on other creatures, but not on itself, and it is not the only creature that has that restriction, with Lathiel, the Bounteous Dawn being another noteworthy example, and I wonder why those creatures have that restriction; the dragon, at least, is a 7/7 creature with flying and ward 2, but Lathiel is very unremarkable without other creatures on the battlefield, and I understand that cooperation is a major aspect of green/white's color identity, both philosophically and mechanically, but I fail to see why Lathiel could not have the ability to place +1/+1 counters on themselves (is Lathiel male or female?). For this reason, I am very glad that both Archangel of Thune and Shalai, Voice of Plenty are able to place +1/+1 counters on themselves, which is a major part of the reason for which I use both of them in many of my decks.
What does everyone else say, about this? Why do certain creatures not place +1/+1 counters on themselves? Would they be too powerful, if they did so? I certainly am very interested to hear your thoughts, on this matter.
DemonDragonJ on Advice for a Green/White EDH …
2 months ago
I am planning to build a green/white EDH deck, with Sigarda, Host of Herons as the general, so I would like to ask for advice on constructing it.
Most decks that have the original Sigarda as the general tend to be either "Voltron" decks (i.e., making the general as powerful as possible) or "enchantress" decks (i.e., focusing on enchantments), so I would like to make my deck slightly different from the typical Sigarda deck; specifically, I plan for the deck to have three major themes: a focus on gaining life, but not quite to the extent of my Liesa, Shroud of Dusk deck; a focus on generating creature tokens, but not to the extent of my Ghired, Conclave Exile
deck; and a focus on putting +1/+1 counters on creatures, but not to the extent of my Atraxa, Praetors' Voice deck; in other words, it shall be a "jack of all trades" deck, but with plenty of synergy and overlap between those themes. Sigarda does not directly contribute to any of those themes, but I chose her as the general, because she is very difficult to remove, once she is on the battlefield, and I feel that this type of creative and unusual deckbuilding is good and should be encouraged.
First, for gaining life, I am considering cards that make it easy to do so, such as True Conviction, Dazzling Angel, Archangel of Thune, Trostani, Selesnya's Voice, Sunscorch Regent, Oracle of Nectars, and Lathiel, the Bounteous Dawn, as well as cards that offer payoffs/rewards for gaining life, such as (again) Archangel of Thune, Lathiel, Trelesarra, moon dancer, Blossoming Bogbeast or Trudge Garden.
Second, for generating creature tokens, I am considering Vernal Sovereign, Aura Mutation, Trudge Garden (again), Selesnya Guildmage (possibly), or Scepter of Celebration, and, for cards that reward me for generating tokens, I am considering Juniper Order Ranger, Cathars' Crusade, Dazzling Angel, and Trostani, Selesnya's Voice.
Third, for placing +1/+1 counters on creatures, I am considering Shalai, Voice of Plenty, Archangel of Thune, Juniper Order Ranger, Cathars' Crusade, Sunscorch Regent, Forgotten Ancient (possibly), and (possibly) Vigor, and, for cards that allow me to use those counters as payment for other effects, I am considering Fertilid, Mindless Automaton, (possibly) Ooze Flux.
Notice how many of those cards have synergy and overlap, allowing me to pursue three themes in a single deck, and I also plan to have a number of generically good cards that I use in many of my decks, such as True Conviction, Mirari's Wake, Seedborn Muse, or Sigarda, Font of Blessings, as well as several cards that I have not used in any of my previous decks, thus far, such as Hydra Broodmaster, Pledge of Loyalty, Camaraderie, Commander's Plate, Behemoth Sledge, Shield of the Oversoul, or Veteran Beastrider. I also am considering putting either Valkyrie Harbinger or Kalonian Hydra into this deck, but I do not wish for this deck to be too similar to any of my other decks, so I would prefer to avoid putting those cards into this deck, if I can avoid doing so, and I also am not yet certain about Doubling Season, staff of completion, or Selvala, Explorer Returned, since those cards would be awesome in this deck, but I do not wish to use them in every deck in which they would be a good addition.
What does everyone else say about this? Do you think that this is an interesting idea, and what suggestions can you make, for me? Thank you, very much, and I certainly am awaiting everyone’s responses!

A card that I would recommend for a deck like this is Trudge Garden since the tokens it produces trigger the lifegain from your commander or other Soul Warden type creatures, giving you another potential activation. You could very quickly build up a large board state over a few turns.
Lathiel, the Bounteous Dawn might also be worth considering. Since its ability triggers at the end of opponents' turns too, having Soul Warden and other similar cards on the board means that Lathiel will also grow your creatures in response to all the creatures your opponents play. Lathiel combines really well with Spike Feeder to gain you increasing amounts of life at the end of each person's turn. I don't know if you are purposefully avoiding using infinite combos though, so it should be noted that Spike Feeder combos with Heliod, Sun-Crowned to gain you infinite life.

Do you have a reliable source of toys for Rarity and Applejack?
Outside of the MLP cards, Unicorns kind of have a +1/+1 counter theme with Emiel the Blessed, Lathiel, the Bounteous Dawn, and Good-Fortune Unicorn. Lathiel and Celestial Unicorn tie that to life gain, with Splendor Mare and Brightmare offering further options there. There's also a little bit of ETB that Emiel can set up.
Horses don't have much of a unified theme or depth. Pick from these as needed, I guess.
Adding in Pegasi, they all have flying to help Rainbow Dash, but that's about it. Park Heights Pegasus plays well with Emiel.
The creature base looks very -heavy, with in second. There's not a ton of independent token depth. Group hug would be very on-theme, but my crippling lack of knowledge about the franchise prevents me from offering any thematic suggestions. Legendary creatures matter could work here. Do you want to get Princess Twilight Sparkle out every game, or just use her as support when needed?

Lathiel, the Bounteous Dawn could give you a LOT of counters to spread over all your creatures.

I forgot. I already replaced Loran, Disciple of History with Teshar, Ancestor's Apostle, but other than that, the rest of the deck remained the same. I'm not sure why Teshar's link is broken, but it seemed to fit well in this deck.
Yeah, I see where you're coming from with these picks. Personally I liked having Avacyn, Angel of Hope as a sort of insurance against opponents so that you can control when your stuff dies, but it is a little pricey to cast.
I can see cutting cutting these cards. I'll see about getting some cards that you suggested. Thanks for your help.
Also, I was able to find some cheap replacements for Archangel of Thune with stuff like Lathiel, the Bounteous Dawn/Nykthos Paragon. Thoughts?
