Ghave is much stronger than he looks. Any doubler can nearly make him combo. With mana intensive help from cards like Cryptic Trilobite or Ashnod's Altar, Ghave can empty himself or any other creature at will. With any creature that gives counters on ETB can make this infinite, like Cathars' Crusade. Powerful +1 counter deck that goes infinite on accident. Undying is a busted mechanic when you can take the creatures' counter off at any time and keep killing it. Mikaeus, the Unhallowed is a crazy sleeper that turns this deck on. Anything that isn't a human goes infinite with an altar.
