Oath of Ajani

Legendary Enchantment

When Oath of Ajani enters the battlefield, put a +1/+1 counter on each creature you control.

Planeswalker spells you cast cost less to cast.

Oath of Ajani or Nissa, Voice of Zendikar can help get +1/+1 counters on the board for cheap.

Hardened Scales alongside constrictor is an incredible engine, with corpesjack menace as a powerful endgame.

The problem with making a list built around them better is that too many good +1+1 counter cards have been printed. Getting a good mix that matches your metagame is tricky when there are so many options, and figuring out what support they need - trample or removal, or graveyard exiling or hand disruption gets quite long-winded.

I'd start by looking at low CMC 1 or 2 - Experiment One & Pelt Collector have been very strong in this kind of list.

In general, I'd look for cards that use counters to track something else - your Ochre Jellys, or things that put +1+1 counters for things you are already doing - like if you ran Willow Geist and Scavenging Ooze.

Thats before considering how to maximise cards like Oath of Ajani or keywords like Proliferate - it might be worth playing some cards that have nothing to do with counters if they suit everything else well enough - life and tokens from Timely Reinforcements can matter a lot in some setups.

If you want somewhere to focus, getting lands sorted is the best place. A good 3 color mana base is expensive and takes some tuning, Lands like Vastwood Fortification  Flip or the various +1+1 counter options take up space and fixing mana and keeping space for them can be tricky.

I recommend replacing those 6 mana planeswalker deck planeswalkers. Yes, they are good once you get them out, but that 6 mana restriction makes it harder to get your engine going during the midgame. I think a couple of cards that you should look into are Oath of Ajani , Ajani, Mentor of Heroes and Evolution Sage . If you'd like me to help you out some more to flesh out the deck a bit, I absolutely LOVE building decks, so id be super happy to!

Hi! Thanks for the upvote.
A few suggestions:
Overwhelming Stampede rather than Overcome ; Sure your deck has many weenies, but by the time you're gonna want a 5 cmc mass trample for the win, you'll probably have something with larger than 2 power out.
Rule of Law is great for multiplayer, but Curse of Exhaustion might fit if you're gearing the deck for 1v1. If you are going for multiplayer, then Kismet works great at slowing opponents down without impacting yourself.
With the amount of PWs in the deck, Ignite the Beacon and Oath of Ajani might be worthwhile.
Phyrexian Rebirth could be a good board wipe, especially if you have crazy token amounts. Especially funny if you can combo it with Fresh Meat . Also funny with Requiem Angel out - a card worth including on its own, especially if you end up juggling your own tokens for other things.
Hardened Scales , Gavony Township , and Bloodspore Thrinax , could play nice with the +1/+1 subtheme.
Ashnod's Altar is great for utilizing creature tokens to get more things out.
Tireless Tracker might help with card draw later and gets some counters on its own.
The deck comp is pretty balanced, so Traverse the Ulvenwald might be effective. Congregation at Dawn and Chord of Calling are other tutor options if you find that the deck is more successful with particular creatures out.
I love swapping weaker tokens with Emrakul's Evangel (another fun fresh meat combo play). Of course, there is always Divine Visitation as well. It's easy to go overboard on doublers, but I figured I'd give a shout out to Primal Vigor and Second Harvest .
Swords to Plowshares for Pacifism ; might be better in some scenarios and always allows you to target your own creature to get some life out of it if you need to or if you go for the lifegain route.
Speaking of the lifegain route, if you want to go for it, here's some things that could work well: Phantom Nishoba , Wall of Reverence , Cradle of Vitality , Fumigate , Congregate , Blighted Steppe , Blossoming Sands , Gingerbread Cabin , Radiant Fountain , Graypelt Refuge , Kabira Crossroads , High Market , and Phyrexian Processor . The land balance will need to be played with if you want to swap the basics for some of those. Also, most Ajani PWs will work well for a more lifegain focused deck.
Now, when I think token generation, I think artifacts for many things. Thopter Assembly , Genesis Chamber , and Summoning Station come to mind. If you end up with more artifact tokens, you can use them with things like Krark-Clan Ironworks and Kuldotha Forgemaster . Also help with things like Dispatch .
Annnnnd one more suggestion if I haven't overstayed my welcome. Funny things can happen in token decks that put out a lot of creatures when you play The Great Aurora . Usually gives you a much stronger board state than opponents - might want to have a safety Reliquary Tower in for that hand size though!
Sorry if I doubled up on anything you had already considered!

Tried to make the deck a little bit more consistent and with a couple more draw and planeswalker cards. In addition, the creatures added give a bit more staying power and other abilities instead of just strictly attacking, although that's still the main mode of winning. Also went a bit more in on +1/+1 counters as well.

This is Able from Discord.

Oath of Ajani is worth considering if you up your PW count.

Both Spike Feeder and Archangel of Thune are independently good, and make a great combo together.
