Pir, Imaginative Rascal

Legendary Creature — Human

Partner with Toothy, Imaginary Fiend (When this creature enters the battlefield, target player may put Toothy into their hand from their library, then shuffle.)

If one or more counters would be put on a permanent your team controls, that many plus one of each of those kinds of counters are put on that permanent instead.

When a lore counter is put on a saga like Welcome to Sweettooth while Pir, Imaginative Rascal or Doubling Season are in play, will the saga skip a lore trigger, or will you get two lores triggering at the same time?

scotchtapedsleeves, it seems like the same Partner effect that's printed on the Battlebond partners like Pir, Imaginative Rascal and Toothy, Imaginary Friend

Nice deck. I've done +1+1 counters several times but admittedly never with red (literally sans red actually).

Thundering Raiju would put in some work here.

Together Forever is a nice way to avoid commander tax and stay out of topdeck mode in case of a boardwipe.

Archangel of Thune ain't cheap, but is well worth the price of admission.

Pir, Imaginative Rascal/Lae'zel, Vlaakith's Champion would also be nice here in addition to the new Ozolith and Conclave Mentor.

The rest of my recommendations are rather expensive (and low hanging fruit) like Doubling Season, Vorinclex, Voice of Hunger (I had no idea this card climbed to $60+), and The Great Henge.

Isn't this another Pir, Imaginative Rascal ? Have you ever considered adding this card?

Resourceful Defense is a cool card, and I've considered putting it in, but ultumately I think it's too defensive and slow. The Ozolith effect is only relevant when a Planeswaller dies with counters on it, which would really only be from targeted removal... This is very conditional, and depends on me losing to work.

The second ability would be more why I would put this card in, but it's expensive, and compared to cheaper or free Proliferate effects, and cards like Vorinclex, Monstrous Raider, Pir, Imaginative Rascal, and Ajani Unyielding are way more powerful for the mana cost.

Resourceful Defense costs three mana to not really do anything when it enters, then another five mana to reduce the loyalty of a Planeswalker. I think it's just not worth the mana cost for the effects when I can just proliferate or use better cards.

I'm currently editing the explanation of the deck as it's changed a lot with so many new relevant cards. I'll include notable exclusions as a spoiler. For example, a card I squeezed out recently is Inexorable Tide, which is awesome and super powerful, but in trying to make the deck faster and more resilient, I wanted to make room for cheaper cards. I would put Inexorable Tide back in before I put Reaourceful Defence in.

But it is a cool card, and I wish it was more effective. Thanks for the suggestion!

Hey Goulash, thanks for the comment. This is a rather common misconception: Pir, Imaginative Rascal does not double your counters, but adds one counter any time you add an X amount of counters on a creature. Simply put, it is not X times 2, but X+1. This makes it rather underwhelming in a deck like this, while it is a stronger card if working with proliferate, like in an Atraxa, Praetors' Voice deck. Moreover, this works for creatures with +1/+1 counters or other permanents in general, but experience counters are placed on the player, so it won't even trigger.

Is there a reason you're not running Pir, Imaginative Rascal? I realize he's fragile but he doubles your experience counters

Heck no Lokasa!
If Pir, Imaginative Rascal gets you excited, I think you 'ought to go for it. This is YOUR deck, you can make it however you like. We can work to compensate for the speed by changing out the ramp package!

I will note that with Pir, Imaginative Rascal, you'd also get Toothy, Imaginary Friend as a free second commander which gives you access to cards like Tekuthal, Inquiry Dominus, Ezuri, Stalker of Spheres, Ichormoon Gauntlet, Deepglow Skate along with a bunch more planeswalkers and proliferators and duplicators. Since your deck is called mono-green, I'm gonna write the rest of this comment assuming you don't want to add any blue cards.

Accelerated Ramp, these are gonna focus more on getting lands straight to the battlefield and being cheap to use. If possible, having these attached to creatures to block early on:
Nature's Lore
Sakura-Tribe Elder
Three Visits
Rampant Growth
Yavimaya Elder
Fertilid
Topiary Stomper
And that would take place of all of your three mana mana-ramp and your ramp that brings lands to hand (they work best with Azuza, so now we don't need them).

Then we can come up with fast removal to protect you early and give you early blockers:
Cankerbloom
Thrashing Brontodon
Nature's Claim

We can replace the planeswalkers we lost earlier Garruk, Savage Herald, Nissa, Genesis Mage, Vivien, Arkbow Ranger, Vivien, Champion of the Wilds, Vivien, Nature's Avenger with more that'll keep you safe and will give us space for better support cards:
Nissa, Ascended Animist
Wrenn and Seven



Finally, we can think about how to use those planeswalkers more effectively with cards like:
The Peregrine Dynamo doubles up your planeswalker ability
Kamahl's Druidic Vow can be another Genesis Wave in this deck.
I'll also add Vorinclex, Monstrous Raider though will warn you MOST people do not enjoy playing against that card.



Note that my opinion is just as useless as anyone else's and any choices you make will be the right ones for you. I hope you find your fun <3
