A +1/+1 | Charge Counter Deck that is able to grow creatures to insane levels of power and toughness as well as put a timer on the game itself due to Darksteel Reactor.

Beware of its several opportunities at infinite combos...

How It Works:As stated before, this deck is primarily adheres to the concept of progressively feeding spells +1/+1 and charge counters, followed by either attacking with huge creatures or utilizing charge token based spells.

Notable Cards:

Atraxa, Praetors' Voice - While she is the commander of the deck, her main utilities in this deck comes down to pairing with Odric, Lunarch Marshal in order to give all of your creatures Flying, Lifelink, Vigilance and Deathtouch. Additionally, there is her Proliferate trigger during your endstep. Because your creatures will be getting so big anyways, this is more of means to accelerate charge counters and essential keep oneself from running out of juice to activate abilities.

Darksteel Reactor - Indestructible and puts a timer on the game. While 20 turns in addition to those you spend prior to casting Darksteel Reactor may seem like a huge stretch of time, Several cards within the deck enable you to accelerate the process of acquiring charge counters to an absurd degree. Gilder Bairn and Vorel of the Hull Clade can double the amount of counters on any permanent. Contagion Engine and Inexorable Tide give additional proliferate triggers for 4 mana or at ever cast spell, respectively.

Sage of Hours - This is where things get fun. With the vast majority of your library utilizing +1/+1 counters, getting your Sage to 5 counters for the extra turn shouldn't be too difficult. By just having out Hardened Scales, Ajani, Mentor of Heroes and a card with a proliferate effect, you got yourself an infinite combo. Even if you dont have a means for an infinite combo but rather a couple of extra turns, that still means more opportunities to tick up Darksteel Reactor charge counters if its in play.

Master Biomancer - How you get your creatures huge. Whenever you throw this guy on the battlefield, make it your first priority to get as many +1/+1 counters on it as possible. With no more than 18 counters, which honestly wont take you long to get to, you can have Atraxa, Praetors' Voice be able to deliver a single killing blow of commander damage.

Hex Parasite - Hex Parasite works two different ways. First off, it acts as an immediate means of Planeswalker removal buy eating up loyalty counters via its effect. Secondly, in a much more situational matter, Hex Parasite can become a walloping bomb if you take counters off an in play Eternity Vessel.

Lux Cannon - Simply a means of removal that can get enough charge to do so fairly quickly if you factor in proliferate and all the counter doubling spells within your library. Also you got yourself essentially a permanent removal spell that can be used again and again.

Ivorytusk Fortress - Because all of your creatures are gonna have +1/+1 counters on them, why should any be tapped when you play this guy? Essentially a legal Prophet of Kruphix tailormade for this kind of deck

(Made with the Breed Lethality vanilla deck as a base. lmk if improvements could be made, especially if they can be done on the cheaper side.)
