Quick explanation of the decks name:
It uses creatures like Hangarback Walker that grow big on their own, but on death turn into a lot of small creatures. This is akin to a trilogy of cards: Tetravus, Triskelavus and Pentavus. While these are not in the deck as they are way to expensive for modern the deck is called Evolvite because my creatures evolve (get stronger) and produce small "Evolvites".

So as said we want to cast creatures for cheap that get stronger and on death turn into counters.
This Job is done by
-Chasm Skulker -Hangarback Walker -Hooded Hydra -Mycoloth (well it doesn't create counters on death, but still fits in the deck very nicely)

Of course in a deck like this we need some +1/+1 counter generation. This job is mainly done by Mikaeus, the Lunarch, whio can also buff all the tokens if one of your big creatures dies. Vorel of the Hull Clade is basically an auto include. No reason not ti run him. Gavony Township is basicaly mikaeus as a land.
Ajani, Caller of the Pride is also an amazing walker in this deck.

there are also a bunch of ways to make MORE COUNTERS!!!
Hardened Scales and Doubling Season don't really need explaining.
Solidarity of Heroes doesn't either really.

Now for some interresting stuff.Evolutionary Leap and Scourge of Skola Vale are here to sacrifice my big creatures if they are targeted for removal or if they are repeatedly chump blcked. that way i get the tokens out of them. Bioshift kind of goes along the same lines to safe the counters from a creature about to die.
Give / Take draws a bunch of cards if am low on them.
Bramblewood Paragon gives my giant guys trample to avoid chump blocks.
And finally Cathars' Crusade is awesome when one of your big guys dies. Imagine having 10 1/1 thopter enter the battlefield and making them all GIGANTIC.
