B/G midrange

-1/-1 counter synergy, The Idea of the deck is to use our cards that add -1/-1 counters onto creatures and turn them into creatures using cards such as Hapatra, Vizier of Poisons or Nest of Scarabs and eventually pumping the team using Nissa, Voice of Zendikar or sacing them to Westvale Abbey  

Obelisk Spider will help us stabilize against most fast aggro decks due to the incremental lifegain and the ability to shrink creatures.

Ammit Eternal is our strongest beater and is his own solo engine as he can turn the spells your opponents cast into -1/-1 counters which will trigger Hapatra, Vizier of Poisons and Nest of Scarabs.

Winding Constrictor is in the deck to empower our -1/-1 counter effects by doubling the counters that will be placed onto creatures, Constrictor is also another way to close the game before we drop a Nissa, Voice of Zendikar

Walking Ballista will help close games when we are forced to play the long game or allow us to get those last few points of dmg through.

Festering Mummy triggers our -1/-1 counter synergy when he dies making him a good blocker early on
