i think the Dismember could be dropped for a 2nd Throne of Geth for consistency. 1 removal spell in 60 cards doesn't seem reliable anyway, and given that this is an artifact deck, Dispatch has several advantages. costs less mana/life and exiles rather than sending the creature to the yard. could probably keep it in the sideboard though and stick with pure beatdown for game 1. i'm also curious about the Chromatic Star. personally i think Solidarity of Heroes is too good to pass up in any +1/+1 counter deck. i realize you can't grab it with Ancient Stirrings, but it also cuts the effort required for an infect win with Inkmoth Nexus in half. or target Hangarback Walker in response to a removal spell to give your opponent quite the surprise.

as for the name "affinity", i've already stopped using that long ago lol. i refer to "traditional affinity" as "robots", and the hardened scales version as "hardened modular". sometimes i'll get weird looks when people hear me use these names, yet they never seem to have an answer for why I should refer to a deck by a mechanic it doesn't even use lol.

IMO best card you could get for this deck right now is (that's budget) Solidarity of Heroes

Does Solidarity of Heroes interact with any card other than Hydra's Growth because your instants are temporary +x/+x and not permanent counters?

Hello all,

Lately me and my colleagues hat thought, that it would be fun to play Pauper EDH. The rules are regular - one commander, one piece of any card (except for basic lands), only commons and uncommons, cards cannot be worth more that $5 each.

And I've came up with something strange (and hopefully cool).

I would like to shoot my opponents out with the Hallar, the Firefletcher, giving him as much +1/+1 counters as I can, with cards like Battlegrowth, Burst of Strength or Solidarity of Heroes, along with few enchantments like Hydra's Growth or Forced Adaptation. The basic idea is:

• cheap instants giving +1/+1 counters

• drawing cards artifacts (Arcane Encyclopedia, Tapestry of the Ages, Jayemdae Tome)

• spells with kicker, that will trigger the ability of my commander

What do you think, should I cut out few ramping spells in order to put even more kicker, although they are not that consistent with that deck?

Thank you in advance for your feedback :)

Some potential cards. Most of these might be side-grades or out of budget but are worth noting in the Maybeboard. I have a few of these:

Ramp:

Creatures are obviously optimal, what with elf anthems and counters and stuff. I would try to squeeze in the first three if you can. The tempo of getting your commander down on turn 2 is amazing.

Fyndhorn Elves , Priest of Titania , Boreal Druid , Farhaven Elf , Leyline of Abundance , Castle Garenbrig , Llanowar Tribe , Overgrowth , Reap and Sow , Kodama's Reach , Explosive Vegetation , Nature's Lore , Ranger's Path , Skyshroud Claim , Grow from the Ashes , Emerald Medallion , Growing Rites of Itlimoc  ^Flip, Harrow , Circuitous Route

Utility:

Rishkar's Expertise , Soul's Majesty , Mirror Shield , Zendikar Resurgent , Primal Rage , Heroic Intervention , Return to Nature , Overwhelming Stampede , Overrun , Beastmaster Ascension , Loxodon Warhammer , Colossal Majesty , Rancor , Vivien, Champion of the Wilds , Blossoming Defense , Withstand Death , Titanic Brawl , Ancient Animus , Momentous Fall , Nature's Claim , Once and Future , Regrowth , Wildest Dreams , Road of Return , Creeping Corrosion , Season of Growth , Blanchwood Armor , Sandwurm Convergence , Garruk, Primal Hunter , Vivien Reid , Vivien of the Arkbow , Ghost Quarter ,

Aspect of Mongoose is nice but prevents untapping shenanigans with your commander.

Counters:

Some obvious out-of-budget stuff here and some lower-powered stuff too but I'll suggest them for posterity.

Llanowar Reborn , Karn's Bastion , Forge of Heroes , The Great Henge , Incubation Druid , Loyal Guardian , Tuskguard Captain , Pollenbright Druid , Solidarity of Heroes , Biogenic Upgrade , Durable Handicraft , Planewide Celebration , Courage in Crisis , Verdant Confluence , Bow of Nylea , Contagion Clasp , Contagion Engine , Hydra's Growth , Path of Discovery , Retreat to Kazandu , Forced Adaptation , Evolutionary Escalation , New Horizons , Nissa, Voice of Zendikar , Jiang Yanggu, Wildcrafter , Vivien, Arkbow Ranger , Kalonian Hydra , Arbor Armament , Stony Strength , Savage Summoning , Hunger of the Howlpack , Soul's Might , The Crowd Goes Wild , Armory of Iroas , Weapon Rack , Predatory Hunger , Primeval Bounty

I have a Drove of Elves I'm not using
