My current standard deck. Advice is much obliged. I think I may be happy with the deck as it is, but let me know what you think!
Mainboard commentary:===accordion===accordion===panel:Abzan Battle PriestObvious reasons, lifelink on everything. Gain obscene amounts of life if not dealt with. However, is fairly easy to get rid of, and is a pretty big target.===endpanel===panel:Avatar of the ResoluteVery efficient creature, in my opinion. 3/2 for two is ahead of the curve already; trample and reach are just bonuses. Don't even get me started on that ability. This guy, when buffed, is just about the only thing in this deck that can deal with my nemesis: Stormbreath Dragon.===endpanel===panel:Fabled HeroDouble strike with counters is just too good. However, this guy has a huge target on his forehead, and rightly so.===endpanel===panel:Fleecemane LionAhead of the curve and hard to deal with. Beautiful card.===endpanel===panel:Phalanx LeaderI have yet to try
Phalanx Leader
, but I feel like with the amount of targeted spells in the deck he should be useful. I also really like the idea of Gleam of Authority + Phalanx Leader
. When enchanted, make eveything bigger, and make himself huge.===endpanel===panel:Sunscorch RegentI really love this card. It punishes your opponents for casting spells, and quickly grows to stomp over other dragons. It's fun to respond to a kill spell by casting Inspiring Call using the counter it received from them casting the kill spell. Helps out quite a bit against burn, in my experience.===endpanel===panel:Warden of the First TreeNothing much to explain. Infinite potential, lifelink, and trample if not dealt with.===endpanel===endaccordion===accordion===panel:End HostilitesI like to have one mainboard. Fleecemane Lion can live through it, as can pretty much all of your creatures if you have Inspiring Call in hand.===endpanel===panel:Citadel SiegeI love this card so much. Khans for counters makes your creatures surprisingly large surprisingly fast. Furthermore, you place the counters wherever you want, unlike bolstering. You can keep pumping one creature, or spread the love. Dragons is decent if you're behind. ===endpanel===panel:Gleam of AuthorityVigilance is good, activates heroic, allows bolstering, and makes one creature hella large. ===endpanel===panel:Hardened ScalesOne additional counter every time you place a counter builds up fairly quickly. Especially when you're placing counters as often as this deck allows. Hardened Scales
+
Phalanx Leader
sounds pretty good to me.===endpanel===panel:Dromoka's CommandSuch an efficient card. Fighting, counters, burn-hate, enchantment-hate, what's not to love? Heroic creatures love this card, as do I.===endpanel===panel:Inspiring CallI really love this card. Mass creature protection and card draw. Very versatile; I feel like it's well worth the cost.===endpanel===panel:Reap What is SownI haven't had the chance to try this card yet, but it sounds beautiful. It can target three different creatures, which heroic loves, and is a cheap way to produce counters.===endpanel===endaccordion
