I recently picked up MTG again after not playing since Revised Edition. This is my first constructed deck, so be nice. Of the cards I've pulled so far, I really like Winding Constrictor, so I wanted to build a deck around +1/+1 counters. I recognize that this is probably nothing new, but this is just my attempt.

Since I am just starting up again, I wanted to find a budget Constrictor deck. I purchased some cards and others are some pulls that I thought would work well. Thanks to some of the guys at the local shop who helped me tweak this before my first FNM last Fri.

In general, the goal is to get to the end of turn 4 or 5 with a huge flying, lifelink Aetherborn Marauder . So everything along the way is meant to pump up the counters. The decks seems to work pretty well because there are multiple threats even when Winding Constrictor or Aetherborn Marauder have targets on their backs.

I'd love some feedback on what I can do to improve this.
