Hey there! This is a solid list, and the custom categories are great! I have little to add here, besides some minor qualms. Well done.

Not convinced by:

Nullmage Shepherd might be better as just a Krosan Grip, since it's sorta a non-bo with your strategy of tapping creatures.

Draining Whelk should really just be a Counterspell.

Thassa, Deep-Dwelling doesn't seem all that useful here. Rishkar, Peema Renegade for extra support maybe?

I'd consider the following draw options too: Collective Unconscious, Shamanic Revelation, Regal Force, Inspiring Call, Tishana, Voice of Thunder, Distant Melody

Poly_raptor on Wait, what type of counter?! (IKORIA UPDATES)

Wow thanks for all the suggestions.

• Blowfly Infestation I considered, however I’m not trying to kill creatures in this deck, I am very familiar with it as I run it in my Happatra deck.

• Corrupted Resolve I like it, I’ll consider, however which counterspell would you cut to add in?

• Cruel Sadist just puts counters on itself, and I want to put them on other things.

• Rishkar, Peema Renegade I had in originally but instead added in cryptolith rite, it’s harder to remove and let’s me use all creature not just ones with counters on.

• Crumbling Ashes is another tricky one, ideally I don’t want to kill the creatures I’m putting counters on, because I want to copy them with Volrath. Also, it is not a may trigger so I would have to kill something, and if it was only my creatures with a counter on I’m blowing up my own stuff.

• Deepglow Skate once again, don’t need lots of counters on creatures, just one.

• Grim Affliction I did consider but again, proliferate isn’t necessary in the build and I can put a counter on something for cheaper.

The cards in the fun suggestions I also looked at, but I just want to play around with putting counters on other creatures. That being said, I had not seen Musician that is bloody brilliant and is going straight in the list!!

Really fun build, and deliciously quirky!

A few serious card suggestions:

• Blowfly Infestation

• Corrupted Resolve

• Cruel Sadist

• Rishkar, Peema Renegade

• Crumbling Ashes

• Deepglow Skate

• Grim Affliction

And a few fun card suggestions:

• Bloodthirsty Ogre

• Deadly Designs

• Diseased Vermin

• Ertai's Meddling

• Helix Pinnacle

• Legacy's Allure

• Musician

Also, I think it would be fun to use lands with depletion counters like Hickory Woodlot, or storage counter artifacts like Blue Mana Battery.

Cheers!

Hey man, just some ideas for green cards: Generous Patron, Evolution Sage, Rishkar, Peema Renegade.

i would run some more ramp cards personally, cards like Rampant Growth and others, some mana rocks too Dimir Signet, Simic Signet, Golgari Signet.

Hope it helps a bit. regards

Obstinate Baloth is a sideboard card against discard decks. Gearhulk I would avoid. Obliterator is strong but requires a deck to be heavily built around him so i’d avoid.

My suggestion would be to worry less about the heavy hitters and go more for those value-gains. If you’re going down the Winding Constrictor and/or Hardened Scales route (which seems strong), then you probably just want lots of lower-costing creatures that can become monsters in their own right.

Scavenging Ooze nets you a big creature, life, and grave disruption

Tireless Tracker gives you cards while he gets swole (you’ll want loads of fetches though)

Rishkar, Peema Renegade gives you counters, and enough flexible mana to abuse stuff like Collected Company, if you wanted.

Nissa, Voice of Zendikar might be useful as a 2-of, giving you a lot of power when followed up by Avatar of the Resolute (though i think the above-mentioned options are better than this one)

As Xica has already mentioned, your point-of-difference over hardened scales decks is your colouration in black - where you want to be running hand disruption and killspells. Outside of that, you should be looking for fast, efficient killers that can thrive in such a resource-deprived boardstate. Don’t try investing in high-cmc cards to do this if you can avoid it.

Thanks for the suggestions Kiran_M I decided not to add any more Ghalta, Primal Hunger because (at least in the play testing I've done) If someone has answers to Ghalta casting him multiple time's won't really help much. I decided to put in two Rishkar, Peema Renegade over Jiang Yanggu, Wildcrafter subbing out the Hidden Herbalists to make room, cause Rishkar will provide some extra speed with counters and more reliable ramping. I also decided to sub out Scavenging Ooze in favor of Pelt Collector because (at least in my groups meta) the graveyard hate isn't really necessary and Pelt Collector will get counters more reliably. I ended up subbing out two Gigantosaurus in favor of God-Eternal Rhonas who though not being as good for my devotion count I hope will end most games with his ETB.

Once again thank you so much for your suggestions I really appreciate it

I would try adding God-Eternal Rhonas, more Ghalta, Primal Hunger, and maybe the combination of Rishkar, Peema Renegade or Jiang Yanggu, Wildcrafter, with Pelt Collector. I'm not sure what to cut, though.
