INCREMENTAL METAL

6/7/2020: More generic Hardened Scales build.

This deck combines +1/+1 counters, scales effects, and construct tribal into an aggressive but not terribly explosive style.

There may be a rare occasion where Metallic Mimic won't name "construct" for the creature type, but not often at all.

• CONSTRUCTS: Arcbound Worker (4), Hangarback Walker (4), Walking Ballista (4), Steel Overseer (3), Metallic Mimic (naming construct) (4), Karn (2) produces Construct tokens, Verdurous Gearhulk (3 SB)
• NOT CONSTRUCTS: Rishkar (4), Winding Constrictor (4), Arcbound Ravager (4), Scavenging Ooze (2 SB)

(8) modular Arcbound creatures with these ideal targets of recyclable robot pieces: Walking Ballista, Hangarback Walker, Inkmoth Nexus.

This brew has evolved a lot and I suspect will continue to evolve (originated as zombie tribal with Lotleth Troll + Slitherhead shenanigans making me very happy). I love scales effects and keep trying to find the best ways to abuse them.

For historical reasons, I wanna highlight this decklist inspiring many of the early changes in this deck: "Snake Scales" by Ryan Davies. http://mtgtop8.com/event?e=15294&d=292969&f=MO

Anyway, this is where my brew is at. I welcome any suggestions or comments. I was looking for other Modern Scales brews and didn't find much so I thought I'd share my current decklist.
