Grubbernaut: the extra counters would be situational, but i really like the surprise "vigilance" of the untap spells. extra counters would just be overkill, hence why theres no Solidarity of Heroes

Off the top of my head, some possible cards for consideration: Evolution Sage , Fate Transfer , Fertilid , Solidarity of Heroes , Spike Feeder , Thrummingbird .

Hey Beginner-Budget-Builder, Solidarity of Heroes could definitely make some big creatures. I tried Tuskguard Captain and I wasn't satisfied. It's too expensive and slow for what it does. I think a well-timed Predator's Strike might give you better surprise trample with some protection to boot.

Hornbash Mentor is interesting. I might try a trample tribal deck. I've been looking for a way to play the Almighty Brushwag...

A little late to the discussion, but I really like this budget-casual deck. There is a lot of cards when it comes to +1/+1 counters, and I recommend looking at EDH decks for inspiration. A budget alternative to Hardened Scales could be Solidarity of Heroes , for example. Tuskguard Captain can give some tribal effects to your creatures, and you can get tons of value with Hornbash Mentor . For more of those effects, .

Hey Walrighti, +1!

@your post

Congrats on your first deck! You have a lot of fun cards in here and it looks great! I imagine you want to tune and make it even more efficient so here are some ideas...

Add 3 categories: #Combo, #Lifegain, and #Evasion; and then sort your maybeboard the same way you've done your mainboard to easily rank your choices within a category (By "combo" I mean all your "if-then" cards like Trudge Garden that are slower and don't work by themselves). Remove #Creatures (most of them are #Combo).

Avoid most cards above 4 cmc... Willowdusk is fast and fragile, so play into that... Also, prioritize cards that can do 2 or more things or that give value on ETB... If you have pet cards that don't really fit and that hurt to cut, put them in a "I'll build that theme later" list.

cut

-1 Baleful Force

-1 Pelakka Wurm

-1 Sproutback Trudge

-1 Ageless Entity

-1 Ezzaroot Channeler ... cut the fatties.

-1 Ob Nixilis Reignited

-1 Garruk, Apex Predator

-1 Planewide Celebration

-1 Primeval Bounty

-1 Trudge Garden

-1 In Garruk's Wake

-1 Deadbridge Chant

-1 Decree of Pain ... too slow

-1 Bow of Nylea ... meh

-1 Jarad's Orders < Diabolic Tutor

-1 Sangromancer ... amazing card but doesn't trigger when you need it to.

-1 Venser's Journal ... also amazing, but too conditional for this build

-1 Marshland Bloodcaster

-1 Gift of Paradise

-1 Nissa's Renewal

-1 Ranger's Path ... all your ramp should be on turn 2

-1 Temple of the False God ... this card is almost never good

Heyoo, hope you don't find this weird. I was bored and just looking through the decklist you sent me 5ever ago. I had some thoughts on cards you might want to consider, just food for thought.

Overwhelming Stampede - awesome sorc, and you normally have at least 1 stupidly massive creature. 3 to 4 dollars.

Zendikar Resurgent - double your mana, draw cards for playing creatures, 4 bucks.

Stonecoil Serpent - not a hydra, but an X spell for you to double counters on later with vorel. I have one of these that you can just have, its like 4 or 5 bucks.

Courage in Crisis - counter on a creature and a proliferate trigger for 3 mana, pretty solid. trash common card super cheap.

Invigorating Surge - another super cheap instant, doubles counters similar to vorel's ability.

Solidarity of Heroes - same effect, more double trouble ;).

Inexorable Tide - proliferate whenever you cast a spell... pretty OP. 5 bucks.

Increasing Savagery - wowsa, that's a lot of counters, and ONLY A DOLLAR. nasty.

Bred for the Hunt - Draw cards for creatures with counters dealing dmg, cheap too.

Rampant Growth - great counterspell in these colors, worth considering since you cast really expensive spells. 1 doll hair.

Lazotep Plating - you probably have 10 of these lying around. way to protect your shiz.

Beast Within - staple removal in green.

Zameck Guildmage card draw dawg, card draw for counters. tight tight tight.

Its practically hydra tribal, get yo'self a Coat of Arms , I think you already have one in your binder.

If you decide to shell out on some cards, I think a few more expensive cards worth your while would be: Primal Vigor Branching Evolution Cyclonic Rift Rampant Growth - I have this in my Kenrith deck, its pretty great. Double Vorel's effectiveness with an equipment.

Id also put in more common ramp spells than the "draw X cards, put an extra land into play". cards like Cultivate , Rampant Growth , etc.

Lands lands lands, need better lands. Get some stuff like Command Tower , Yavimaya Coast , Llanowar Reborn , Temple of Mystery , Oran-Rief, the Vastwood , Simic Growth Chamber .

Alrighty, my rant is over.

Also since your deck works slightly around +1/+1 counters, it would be good to expand this a bit. A few cards that could help with this would be Solidarity of Heroes , Kalonian Hydra , Doubling Season , Bioshift , Karn's Bastion , Sword of Truth and Justice , Primordial Hydra .
