Oh, here are a few more.

Toski, Bearer of Secrets is great card draw, and as a bonus, an indestructible creature is a perfect target for Lure.

Gaddock Teeg draws hate, but he can stop your opponents (and you) from casting any noncreature spells that cost 4 or more; suddenly running Fell the Profane  ^Flip doesn't seem so clever.

Warleader's Call is an obvious inclusion in any creature deck.

Tunnel Ignus will punish fetch lands and land ramp; Aven Mindcensor will shut them down almost entirely, as well as slowing combo decks to painful levels.

All these cards are under $5, I believe.

Thank you all again for all the awesome suggestions!

I am well aware of all those "combat damage triggered" draws. But I want to not be restricted by combat damage. I already have Kutzil, Malamet Exemplar for that and was planning on complementing him with Bred for the Hunt. But now I am thinking of opting for Enduring Curiosity instead; why limit myself to drawing on combat with only +1/+1 counter creatures, and enduring curiosity also gives me another body to use an attacker.

But really, at this point, Toski, Bearer of Secrets is the best option.

Breena, the Demagogue is a very interesting card.

However, today I found a new (to me) card: Falco Spara, Pactweaver which essentially can capitalize on my collected counters.

@RiotRunner789

Thanks! But I dont think those cards fit my specific strategy.

=========

@Antsquisher

Yeah, but the angel is significantly better due to the evasion, and the additional synergy with Atraxa's lifelink.

Inspiring Call I feel like is the staple +1 counters matters card. It is literally reprinted in every deck now that cares about +1 counters. And yet I keep cutting it for spells.

Thanks to all of you again!

You could always forego the +1+1 counter hoop. Ohran Frostfang, Toski, Bearer of Secrets, Bident of Thassa, Coastal Piracy, The Indomitable, and Reconnaissance Mission immediately come to mind in those colors.

I really like Fynn because you have a lot of cheap options to make that deck really strong.

• Viridian Longbow help you target a player without having to attack and then you can proliferate with Contagion Clasp afterward to pump the poison counter every turn.

• Ohran Frostfang + Toski, Bearer of Secrets for extra draw

• kill other creatures with some Fights mechanic such as Bite Down , Infectious Bite or Smell Fear

• As for creature, i really like some Toxic that help your other creature and poison counter up Bloated Contaminator, Contaminant Grafter, Phyrexian Swarmlord and Venerated Rotpriest

@Andramalech you're funny ;)

It started as an Omnath, Locus of Mana deck that would sometimes play turn 6 eldrazi titans and sometimes sit on 20 {G} mana and nothing to do with it.

Decided to lower the curve and draw more cards with my boy Toski, Bearer of Secrets.

I would drop the lands that aren't allowed in his deck for lands like War Room, Karn's Bastion, Boseiju, Who Endures, Scavenger Grounds, Opal Palace, Myriad Landscape, and Blighted Woodland. And for the ones that aren't allowed you can drop for just basic forests. Land count is pretty strong. For draw along with war room there is Garruk's Uprising, Guardian Project, Stocking the Pantry, Greater Good, Lifecrafter's Bestiary, Rishkar's Expertise (which feels like a flavor win), Return of the Wildspeaker, Beast Whisperer, and I would say Toski, Bearer of Secrets is surprisingly useful depending on how often you get through.

Looks fun!! {G}

Couple ideas: Nullmage Shepherd, Creeping Corrosion, Skyshroud Poacher, Toski, Bearer of Secrets

UPDATE

So I've changed a few cards out for some upgrades that I think will benefit this deck, and just make more sense for the synergy of this deck. (and it's name sake lol)

I swapped around the following:

Forest for Oakhollow Village *Basic Forest for Oakhollow I feel is a no brainer.

Forest for Thornvault Forager *Basic Forest for Thornvault I feel is a good upgrade as as it's a great mana ramp, and a source for Squirrel fetching.

Sword of Feast and Famine for Honored Dreyleader *The biggest reason for getting rid of Sword of Feast and Famine is because of the protection from green. It didn't dawn upon me that protection from green affected my spells too. Also, Honored Dreyleader is just an awesome Squirrel creature I just learned about.

Return of the Wildspeaker for Animal Friend *Return of the Wild Speaker is a pretty expensive card for what it does. Yeah, it's really good at drawing cards, but I feel I have enough card draw and fetches in this deck as is, and I feel for the cost, Animal Friend will find more use especially on Toski, Bearer of Secrets as he has to attack each turn if able.

Nylea, God of the Hunt for Rootcast Apprenticeship *I was for the most part using Nylea as a trample buff, but I've got a lot of that. Nylea is also a bit expensive for this purpose in this deck. Rootcast has a lot more use for it's cost as well.
