Beastmaster Ascension

Enchantment

Whenever a creature you control attacks, you may put a quest counter on Beastmaster Ascension.

As long as Beastmaster Ascension has seven or more quest counters on it, creatures you control get +5/+5.

Counters are really more of Green's thing while Anthem effects are more of White's thing.

That said, there are counters in White ( Cathars' Crusade ) and anthem effects in Green ( Beastmaster Ascension ), they're just more rare.

I've been playing a deck with similar idea for a long time. The cards that really make a difference in my case were:

• Beastmaster Ascension - if you only have >=7 tokens you can make instant rush with 6/6 creatures
• Scatter the Seeds - best token producer ever. In token deck usually gives you tokens for free
• Glare of Subdual - gives you full control of the table. With Intangible Virtue you just tap all creatures in opponent's turn and attack with vigilance in yours with whatever you got
• Essence Warden - that tiny creature can give you dozens of hp for entire game

Erza420 I see your point but I'm the token deck I likely destroyed creatures my opponent controlled that were much more scary than ones I have. They could have say for instance a Beast Whisperer , a Eternal Witness , a God-Eternal Rhonas , and a Voracious Hydra . And I have 10 1/1 soldier tokens, a Selvala, Explorer Returned and a 0/1 eldrazi token. I cast March of Souls and basically replace all those creatures with 1/1 flyers. Now that player has downgraded to 5 1/1 flyers and I have not downgraded and stayed then same with 12 1/1 flyers. But I'm a token deck I prepared for the wipe. So I have casted Cathars' Crusade prior to it. Or I casted Elesh Norn, Grand Cenobite the next turn. Or I had Doubling Season out before casting March of Souls . Or I cast Beastmaster Ascension befor I attack with them. This is why it's perfect Erza420 and that's why more people should be playing it in the right token deck and build.

Hi multimedia, yeah Fallen Ideal is so good in our decks, tons of value! Blackblade Reforged has shown to be nice to have, but not a needed staple. It buffs Lathril nicely for early game tokens. After a midgame board wipe, the lands are always there to buff her immediately upon return, but it does cost 9 mana to set up again, and besides that, everyone sees it coming, so it is also a potential target to be removed fairly quickly. Prowess of the Fair is not the best indeed, never seen it go off in the first place, and it doesn't yield that much value, a good cut for Beastmaster Ascension . My friend has a Champion of Lambholt in his Ghave deck and we had a hard time against him :-), definitely considering her in the 99. I run Priest of Forgotten Gods in my Ayara deck, great card indeed. For your counter theme, you might want to try Ivy Lane Denizen , a go tall instead of a go wide card, but still, the number of counters adds up fairly well and doesn't break the bank.

I like your list, i'm builing a Lathril deck too. Here are some of my suggestions:

A mana-cheap protection option could be delivered by Heroic Intervention . Malakir Rebirth  ^Flip and Bala Ged Recovery  ^Flip could be helpful too as they are pretty versatile cards.

If you want some recursion Phyrexian Reclamation could help you to rebuild booardstate after a boardwipe or t-removal.

What about Skemfar Avenger ? He's pretty cheap (in both ways) and would grant you pretty good card-advantage. An absolutely "must have" with that many 1/1's should be Skullclamp which could draw like your entire library. Realmwalker could grant you the top card of your library as a hand card as you can cast elf-spells from top of it.

Maybe you should think about Skyshroud Poacher too, which can tutor all of your elves repeatably for just 3 mana. Only Elvish Piper would be a mana-cheper option.

Gnarlroot Trapper is a perfect Manadork which can grant a creature deathtouch for protection as well. If your gameplan is winning by combat-dmg Beastmaster Ascension would be an absolutely blast.

I personally am not a bit fan of Nadier, Agent of the Duskenel and Eyeblight Cullers as their cmc is too high for what they cosst. Belbe, Corrupted Observer and especcialy Glissa, the Traitor don't push your gameplan any further, too.

Hope you don't mind my wall of text :D

Hey, nice new title graphic in the description :)

I'm using the Fallen Ideal tech and wow I like it with Lathril especially with Elderfang, Poison-Tip, Miara, and Skullclamp. I recently cut Prowess of the Fair for Beastmaster Ascension . I don't like that Prowess doesn't trigger when Elf tokens die. I like that Ascension can be activated the turn you play it since getting six Elf tokens with Lathril is not difficult. Just attack with them + Lathril and boom Ascension is activated. How has Blackblade Reforged been? It seems like it would be underwhelming because it relies on you having a lot of lands which with Elves you don't really want or have.

Some tech I've added is Champion of Lambholt to make Lathril and all Elves unblockable. Helps that she grows when tokens are created. Priest of Forgotten Gods which has been good value as another use for Elf tokens and effects that can untap my creatures.

Hi SebassTehFish2 Thanks, the wonders of spreadsheet made it much easier! Like your deck too. How does Beastmaster Ascension perform in your deck, I'm still in doubt about adding it to the 99.

Hey justavictim82, thanks for the suggestions, but also please suggest cards to cut :)

I made some changes and Beastmaster Ascension has been added. Harvest Season is included in the precon and I cut it for a mana Elf who I can untap. In an early version I had Lifecrafter's Bestiary , but I cut it for Realmwalker .
