Introduction

The idea is coming to me when Kaladesh out. Winding Constrictor was best multicolor PDH general in it and i decided to make a general based on each kind of counters.
This deck is kind of weak in my own "PDH Tier list", and cant stand alone against decks like Disciple of Deceit - Combos PDH. The main problem, that ever if we get our creatures big, it hard to protect them against removals.
See Growtesque - Pauper EDH for stronger counter-based deck.

Game plan

Almost all cards here working with synergy on counters, sacrifices and 1/1 saprolings.

1. Thallid, Thallid Shell-Dweller, Vitaspore Thallid: this Funguses will help you to get fast saprolings on turn 3-4, that will be utilized for Deathspore Thallid to remove opponents generals and key creatures
2. Saprolings is also useful for sacrificing to Altar's Reap, Casting of Bones and Primal Growth for more value
3. Each time you sacrifice things will grow your beaters dramatically, like Bloodbriar, Mortician Beetle, Sadistic Glee

Tricks

• Spike Drone + Winding Constrictor gives you infinity ability ":put two +1/+1 counters on target creature". There two other Spikes: Spike Colony and Spike Worker
• Innocent Blood + Mortician Beetle +8/+8 for Beetle
• Ivy Lane Denizen + Viridian Joiner +2 mana for each saproling for Sprout Swarm
• Grim Affliction + Ivy Lane Denizen : 1) Spawn saprolings with fungus 2) put on each of them two counters 3) Attack 4) proliferate on instant
