Nice I love the Legend of Drizzt novels. I'm not seeing Doubling Season or Ozolith, the Shattered Spire in this list, have you considered those? Pretty staple in counter heavy decks. Doubling Season is a bit pricey, but there are proxies out there for a few bucks.

I'm a fan tho, good work. I didn't even realize they added Drizzt cards to mtg

Craeter, Great suggestions! Thanks.

I do already have Hardened Scales and Primal Vigor in the deck.

I have Fertilid and considered it for this deck but didn't put it in the Maybe list. I'll add it now and may swap it in. Very useful.

Ozolith, the Shattered Spire and Branching Evolution are exactly the kind of cards I'd like to have more of in the deck.

Heroic Intervention is terrific protection, and I have my eye out for some.

Doubling Season is nutso good and, as you say, super expensive. I've not done proxying and mainly just play kitchen table games, but . . . Yeah. Wow.

Hooded Hydra is great. I don't think I have any, but I'm going to go digging to make sure.

Tribute to the World Tree, Forgotten Ancient, Devoted Druid - You've given me a lot to think about and look for. :-)

This is pretty good for cards you just happen to have! If you're looking to upgrade in the future here are some suggestions: Tribute to the World Tree, Hardened Scales, Branching Evolution, Heroic Intervention, Hooded Hydra, Forgotten Ancient, Fertilid, Devoted Druid, Ozolith, the Shattered Spire, Primal Vigor, then there's the staple stupid expensive Doubling Season - I'd recommend just proxying it for a few bucks.

I think there are some better options out there for getting +1/+1 counters on creatures. One fairly recent card, Ozolith, the Shattered Spire I think you should consider in place of the Falconeer- it's lower to the ground, harder to remove, and provides a strong static effect that synergizes well with your +1/+1 counter theme.

Thanks for the upvote and your feedback Profet93. Honestly I've been contemplating this change for a while. Reason I've not done it yet, is because during games not that many new strength 4+ creatures entered the BF on my side. But I could rely almost always on having at least one such creature on the BF (I've experienced very few opponents deciding to remove Rosheen herself during games), so in that sense Majesty has been very reliable. Therefore, if I would put one of your suggestions in, it's more likely that I would do so in exchange for another permanent that's been less instrumental in provding me with victories. Maybe something like Ozolith, the Shattered Spire. I'll give it some more thought.

Not sure about satyr enchanter with only 8 enchantments. 2 Snakeskin Veil might be perfect! Protect sage and get two counters on it. Ozolith, the Shattered Spire seems like a must have here too.

OUT:Temple of the False God, Alharu, Solemn Ritualist, Path of the Pyromancer, Ichor Elixir, Fractured Powerstone

IN: Karn's Bastion, Grumgully, the Generous, Ozolith, the Shattered Spire, Kami of Whispered Hopes, Kodama of the West Tree

Starting with a first round of generally obvious upgrades. Planechase is used so sparingly that any card that is generally only useful during Planechase comes out. As well as budget lands like Temple, and over costed bodies for little gain.
