Chhris - Me too! To be honest I didn't think much of him when he was first spoiled, but after pulling two copies (and a Voja token) at the prerelease I had to put him in my sealed deck, and that experience changed my mind. Such a fun card :D

Feed the Pack is already in the list, but I'll test out Pack Guardian and Raised by Wolves . Raised will probably replace my Loyal Guardian .

I appreciate the feedback!

Hey man!

Have you tried the Master Biomancer + Fathom Mage combo? It draws you at least two cards and can draw even more if your Biomancer is bigger. You might also want to put in some more +1/+1 counter cards such as Hardened Scales , Tireless Tracker , Nissa, Voice of Zendikar , Bloodspore Thrinax , Zameck Guildmage , and Loyal Guardian . Also, have you tried tutors such as Mystical Tutor and Worldly Tutor ? I think they really help the consistency of the deck.

Good Luck,

Hex

Interesting budget cards that interact with +1/+1 counters:

• Animation Module
• Vigor
• Curse of Predation
• Forgotten Ancient is marvelous if combined with all the other creatues that obtain free counters, like Managorger Hydra .
• Feast on the Fallen
• Increasing Savagery
• Loyal Guardian
• Mazirek, Kraul Death Priest
• Mighty Emergence
• Necropolis Regent
• Primeval Bounty if you have a good amount of noncreature spells.
• Rite of Passage
• Soul's Might

You should add Eldrazi Conscription , Loyal Guardian , Murkfiend Liege and Austere Command .

For removal, you could probably cut back on the creatures that return cards from the graveyard.

I don't like Phyrexian Rebirth , Martial Coup , Bant Charm , and honestly most of your creature base. Shalai, Voice of Plenty Nylea's Colossus Archetype of Courage Loyal Guardian Celestial Ancient and Yavimaya Enchantress seem pretty bad in particular. I dont understand the +1/+1 theme you have here, you only have 20 creatures.

I would add Crush Contraband and or Return to Dust . Beast Within and Swords to Plowshares are also no brainers. Three Dreams is another solid one, it can search for pumps like Eldrazi Conscription and even pseudo-removal like Control Magic or Faith's Fetters

Hey DrkNinja,

Thanks and you're welcome.

I'll try out the three boardwipes, and see how playtesting goes.

I see your point on TP and Heroic. TP, as you said, pretty much says "you can't lose the game until the start of your next turn" and Heroic gives hexproof and indestructible to ALL permanents, not just creatures with +1/+1 counters.

I see your point on Tuskguard Captain vs Zegana. However, Captain is three mana but I still think I'll swap the two.

I agree with you that instant speed is really good and STP shouldn't be replaced. I'll take the Talisman for STP.

I just realized that I didn't include Primal Vigor in my last swap draft, so I'll take out Armorcraft Judge for it. What do you think of my final swap draft? Anything else you think I should change?

Put In

• Tuskguard Captain

• Swords to Plowshares

• Teferi's Protection

• Heroic Intervention

• Primal Vigor

• Supreme Verdict

• Loyal Guardian

• Zameck Guildmage

• Hydroid Krasis

• Rhystic Study

• Bloodspore Thrinax

• Guardian Project

• Imprisoned in the Moon

• Ajani Unyielding

• Austere Command

Take Out

• Renegade Krasis

• Talisman of Progress

• Zegana, Utopian Speaker

• See the Unwritten

• Inspiring Call

• Armorcraft Judge

• Beast Within

• Vizier of the Menagerie

• Tamiyo, Field Researcher

• Nissa, Vital Force

• Call the Gatewatch

• Djeru, With Eyes Open

• Oath of Ajani

• Contagion Clasp

• Spellbook

Thanks again,

Hexaflexagon

Hey DrkNinja,

Thanks for another extremely helpful comment.

• Do you think that I should take a Supreme Verdict over either Cyclonic Rift or Austere Command , if my meta fits(I haven't visited my LGS in a long time due to school and sports, but I plan to do so sometime in the next two weeks)?

• I already have something like Teferi's Protection and Heroic Intervention in Inspiring Call , which draws me cards as well. Do you think I should swap that out for a Heroic?

• I already have a "+1/+1 counter lord" that gives trample , so I don't think that Tuskguard Captain is necessary. For Champion of Lambholt , I already have a dude that gives unblockable in Herald of Secret Streams .

• I can't afford Doubling Season for now, so I'll use Primal Vigor .

• I think I will replace a Swords to Plowshares with Ajani Unyielding , as his second ability is STP on a stick.
