My goal is to make a creature-focused deck with creature abilities replacing most traditional artifacts, enchantments, sorceries, and instants. Ezuri, Claw of Progress gradually pumps up small toolkit creatures whose abilities enhance the board state. I am looking into having more morph creatures to add versatility, especially abilities to deal with board-wipes (such as counterspells, returning from graveyard, regeneration, etc.). Note that the experience points stay with you the player so Ezuri can return to pumping up creatures soon after a board-wipe.

Main win conditions:Ezuri, Claw of Progress + Solidarity of Heroes + creature(s) with evasion can eliminate a player(s) on the next turn, depending upon your mana.Overrun with a full boardCreature combat damage and fighting are the best forms of creature removal here with some counterspells/bounce. Enchantments and artifacts are taken care of by several creatures' abilities.Removed to Maybe board:[Put Infect option in maybe board for play-group reasons] If you have 8 experience points, Blighted Agent + Ezuri, Claw of Progress will take out a player the next turn (10 poison counters). Altered Ego,Clever Impersonator
