Disclaimer: this deck is composed of cards that I currently own.

Heavy ramp early, big creatures late.

Feedback and suggestions appreciated.

The players to this deck: Growth-chamber guardian- tutors another copy of itself when you put a counter on it. Helps build your board early.

Hydroid krasis- pretty self explanatory. Card advantage and life gain to extend the game against certain matchups.

Knight of autumn- fits the counter theme, great utility and life gain for matches that require it.

Zegana- underrated card for this style of deck. Card advantage when it enters, gives your other creatures trample which makes the hungering hydras very difficult to manage late game.

Herald of secret stream- one of your finishers. The board fills up with counters quickly and this guy ensures they get through.
