The idea is to get the +1/+1 counters going as fast as possible, and using Beetleform, Crowned Ceratok, and Rancor to get the damage through. The central creatures in the deck are Gyre Sage, Corpsejack Menace, and Vorel of the Hull Clade. I've found the deck to work best in the mid to late game range, with the sage and menace on the field at the same time. I plan on dealing with fliers by having beetleform mage out, since he can become a 4/4 flier. Also, with all the +1/+1 counter effects going around he's bound to be stronger than that. When playing, I've noticed that I can sometimes put 6 or more +1/+1 counters on a creature in a single turn, then attach a rancor or summon a Ceratok. After that the game is done, however I can only pull this off with a Gyre Sage on the field for the extra mana. Any ideas on how to protect him?
