So Hangerback Walkers appearance on the scene made me come back to a card I always loved but had a hard time making work: Chasm Skulker. I just love the idea of making a huge guy that gets scarier and scarier, and even if you deal with it, out pops all these babies. It merges the concept of going wide and going big, and I think this marriage is beautiful.

Lets talk combo. Day's undoing is crazy powerful. Its a draw seven for 3. I know you opponent does it too, but watch how Chasm Skulker can turn all that evening up into a game changer. Hardened scales just blows this deck out of proportion, the trigger on each draw adds a new counter, effectively giving it a doubling season vibe. Evasion seems lacking, I know, but all of our baby squids are good in water and our thopters fly, so that's okay. Scourge of skola vale not only provides a sack outlet for our baby makers, but also is able to get damage through, making him a real threat. Kioras Follower helps out with land as well as Hangerback walker and the scourge, and the Servant of the scale really pops those counters into deserved spaces. The ordeals offer additional combo counters and draw, and my counter spell is cheap, letting my opponent be wary after a days undoing.

Any advice or critique is appreciated, this deck is a lot of fun and I think it might even win a couple times! Try it out and let me know what you think!
