Hello all! Welcome to my Anafenza, the Foremost deck.

This is a go-wide +1/+1 counters deck. It runs on putting out as many tokens as possible and then putting counters on them to make them bigger. If you can combine the two then you've found the intersection that makes this deck go.

The main ones that do this are Animation Module, Ghave, Guru of Spores, Avenger of Zendikar, Hooded Hydra, Hangarback Walker, Abzan Ascendancy, and Mycoloth. Any of these creatures are the perfect target for Anafenza's ability. Either that or things that put counters on a target, such as Citadel Siege or Reyhan, Last of the Abzan.

If you can't put counters on a target creature there are plenty of ways to put counters on every creature. The most notable are Cathars' Crusade, Mazirek, Kraul Death Priest, Primeval Protector, Kalonian Hydra, Bloodspore Thrinax, and Drana, Liberator of Malakir. There's also some fantastic support cards for counters, like Hardened Scales, Corpsejack Menace, and Winding Constrictor. I love putting dice on cards, so these are some of my favorite cards.

In playing the deck I found that one of the problems was that Anafenza doesn't have any evasion. Things like Tuskguard Captain and Abzan Falconer are on theme, but things like Whispersilk Cloak and Nim Deathmantle are also fantastic ways to get through. Although, there are a few combos with Nim Deathmantle if you use Ashnod's Altar. Specifically with any creature that comes into play and makes more than one creature when it comes into play or Woodfall Primus. However, there are no tutors so these combos are pretty rare.

Other than this; throw in a Thunderfoot Baloth and some utility lands like Gavony Township and you've got yourself a deck! I can't really afford things like Doubling Season or Gaea's Cradle and I don't like tutors, so don't run Demonic Tutor or other things like that, but I'm always looking to improve the deck so let me know if you have any suggestions! Thanks in advance!
