Sage of Hours

Creature — Human Wizard

Heroic - Whenever you cast a spell that targets Sage of Hours, put a +1/+1 counter on it.

Remove all +1/+1 counters from Sage of Hours: For each five counters removed this way, take an extra turn after this one.

Sage of Hours for funsies wincon?

On the more serious front, Inspiring Call is a great alternative to heroic for these decks.

That's a wicked cool combo Ramble! I'll remember it if I ever build Ezuri, Claw of Progress. If counter storm is what we are going with, cards like the aforementioned Ezuri, lots of proliferate cards likeEvolution Sage, Flux Channeler, and Karn's Bastion. Cards like Hadana's Climb  Flip, and payoffs like Sage of Hours, which goes infinite with Ezuri. Having sone ways to blibk Toothy like with Conjurer's Closet or Thassa, Deep-Dwelling are good too.

Hello there!

I'll get right down to it. I think you have +1/+1 counter support overkill here, and could use some ramp and draw action. I think that the comment above from Guerric covers a lot of the ramp, but I would also put Mirari's Wake on that list.

For draw, you do certainly have some amount, but I might suggest adding Lim-Dul's Vault and/or Diabolic Vision, Bringer of the Blue Dawn, Chulane, Teller of Tales and Garruk's Uprising. These choices are specifically good for your deck here, though obviously there are also the staples like Rhystic Study, and a slew of others. Being a 5-color deck, you could really choose anything.

And finally, I personally feel like Sage of Hours is too good not to include in any +1/+1 counter deck. And also, Doubling Season, if you can afford it.

Cheers!

Sage of Hours could find a place as another method of infinite turns.

You seem combo hesitant, but I would still encourage you to put Sage of Hours back in. It would be excessive if you put in twenty tutors for it and tried to rush it, but sometimes the game just needs to end, and Sage is a win out of nowhere card.

Since you're running Triumph of the Hordes you are clearly not averse to infect, so I'd go ahead and put in at least Blighted Agent if not a couple of others. This can be another way to knock out a player who is about to win and turn the tide of the game. I'm also a little surprised not to see Hadana's Climb  Flip, which synergizes with your deck perfectly.

Also, it is clear you are trying to focus on one-sided board wipes, so why not Ezuri's Predation? I mean, wouldn't it be wrong not to include what might be the most flavorful card for this deck?

Also, this is a bit granular, but I'd just replace Withstand Death and like cards with counterspells like the original and Arcane Denial. They can protect your commander just as well, but can also stop a lot of other problematic things.

If I were building this I might lean into Reconnaissance Mission/Edric, Spymaster of Trest type cards with a few unblockables like Mist-Cloaked Herald and Slither Blade.

Overall you seem to have a pretty good and synergistic list, but some of the above suggestions might help you shore it up a bit.

Hey! Thanks for the comments!

I'll move the cantripping creatures under the utility section. The Great Henge is out of my budget, too, so I'll throw a Beast Whisperer in, replacing a Forest. I totally get what you are saying about Fractal Harness so I'll replace it with Pathbreaker Ibex. Thanks for the positive feedback!

I'll definitely think about dropping 2-3 more lands (note the Forest dropped above, but I'm paranoid about getting mana screwed, so I'll plan to get a few games in with it first and reassess then. And, yeah, I had Sage of Hours in before, but I didn't really feel like including an "I win" card in this version of the deck at this moment--totally fair, but not for me.

And I might be wrong here, but I really want my cards to do more than one thing. I used to run Avenger of Zendikar and Fable of Wolf and Owl, but I don't feel they do enough... Like, sure, they both produce a bunch of experience counters, but--and my opinion might shift after a few games--I'd rather all my creatures incrementally increment my exp counters and be a great target for the +1s themselves, instead of running cards that just give me exp counters, ya know?

Anyway, thanks again for the feedback, all!

I would say that you would be safe dropping 3-4 lands with your current amount of ramp.

I would suggest adding Sage of Hours for the extra turn loop (just be sure to take the turns quickly if opponents don't scoop to it). I would also add Shrieking Drake so that you can turn excess blue mana into experience counters. I am primarily a combo player and totally understand if either of these are play patterns that you don't like. Just throwing ideas out there.

I ran infinite turns in Bant Modern with Sage of Hours, Ajani, Mentor of Heroes and Citadel Siege.

It was casual-Modern; The kind you played at a Steak & Shake or iHop after work. Very fun deck for what it was, though.
