Tome of Legends , Urza's Saga , and Smothering Tithe are both powerful and synergistic, but are also expensive. If you are using the Osgir precon as a shell for the deck, Digsite Engineer and Bronze Guardian are both payoffs for having a ton of artifacts, as well as Darksteel Juggernaut . Walking Ballista , Triskelion , and Monoskelion are all good at converting counters into damage, and Fiery Emancipation seems like some great top end in order to make your stuff hit hard enough to kill. Other good counter payoffs include Triskelavus , Pentavus , and Crystalline Crawler .If you plan to sacrifice creatures a lot, then Blade of the Bloodchief can do a lot of work here too.

I did some searching on colourless cards that might be a good fit because I thought it was fun that they could be cast for cheap/free and also acts as pseudo-rap.

Some cards that might be worth a try:

• Triskelion and friend Monoskelion
• Decimator of Provinces
• Crystalline Crawler
• Oblivion Sower
• Steel Dromedary
• Pentavus
• Endless One
• Ugin's Conjurant
• Hangarback Walker

Also this combos w Triskellion: Cauldron of Souls

One thing I noticed in this deck was that non-creatures spells feel really expensive because they don't get the discount. So if you are looking for cards to cut you could start there.

Hey franknot.19,

Very interesting take on Atraxa you've got going on here. I do have some ideas on a direction you could take your deck, but what would be most helpful is a full deck description detailing vital card combinations, desired playstyle and most importantly turns you wish to threaten to win the game. There are plenty of resources on tappedout but a great start would be Epochalyptik's Do you want to write a primer?.

Now, as for your deck itself if you want +1/+1 counters then you have to make it a major theme or you'll find yourself in games where you'll have fairly little cohesion. I'd recommend staple cards like:

• Deepglow Skate
• Doubling Season
• Crystalline Crawler
• Forgotten Ancient
• Hardened Scales

just to name a few. I'm not sure if the cards being Legendary is necessary or not - but i'm curious as to what your wincons are.

fun deck :) Some suggestions that could be good role players here are cards that put counters on creatures on ETB and similar, so Good-Fortune Unicorn , Renata, Called to the Hunt , Juniper Order Ranger and Felidar Retreat . And Crystalline Crawler and Workhorse would be excellent mana dorks ;)

also not sure if you want to go in that direction but some neat combo pieces would be the new Heliod, Kitchen Finks and Woodfall Primus.

iammute I had not really considered Crystalline Crawler for this actually. Near the beginning...basically when I first built this deck the "counters matters" cards all got the axe, so I haven't really considered it. I really like generating lots of mana though...the card does great work in another of my decks, so I know how good it is. It's probably a good idea to try it out at least, thanks for the suggestion!

3xist3ntial I haven't tried Bramble Sovereign out yet but it seems like it would be good for sure. Most of the creatures in the deck are cheap enough to afford an extra 2 mana tax on casting them. Thanks!

Have you thought about including Crystalline Crawler ? It does an incredible amount of work in my build. I’m surprised it isn’t even on Mazirek’s EDHREC page. It turns every sacrifice into a mini ritual or a substantial one with a Grave Pact effect in play. It’s absolutely fantastic at keeping storm like turns going
