Concept

Wanted a new deck so I went with Counters with Atraxa. Proliferate everything!

Commander

I mean like the deck title says, Atraxa, Praetors' Voice is the queen of counters. Her keyword abilities and proliferate abilities are insane. Plus, she gives access to all the colors you need to navigate a counter heavy build.

Infinite Combos

• Ghave, Guru of Spores + Crystalline Crawler + Cathars' Crusade = Infinite Saproling tokens that are infinitely large.
• Enduring Scalelord + Altered Ego or Spark Double = Two infinitely big creatures.

More Combos

• Fertilid + Ob Nixilis, Unshackled = Letting someone get a land but they have to sac a creature and Ob Nixilis deals 10 damage to them. Can easily kill someone this way for 8 mana.
• Odric, Lunarch Marshal + Atraxa, Praetors' Voice = Super easy way to pass out some keyword abilities to all of your creatures.

Win Cons

Overall, the main goal of the deck is to get counters on creatures, proliferate as much as possible, and swing huge creatures for the win. Here are some highlights:

• Atraxa, Praetors' Voice - With a few counters, she quickly becomes lethal
• Deepglow Skate, Corpsejack Menace, Master Biomancer, and Kalonian Hydra - Can get take your board state to scary real quick.
• Primordial Hydra, Hooded Hydra, Kalonian Hydra, and Managorger Hydra - Hydras are great in this deck.
• Any other large creature + Herald of Secret Streams or Champion of Lambholt to get attacks through

Weakness

I wanted to make a section quickly discussing this style of deck's biggest weakness. You spend 3-4 turns creating a huge board, then bam, board wipe. You are now super behind. These cards are to help prevent that, or to help you recover from it:

• The Ozolith, Chasm Skulker, Hooded Hydra, and Inspiring Call

Comments, suggestions, or upvotes are welcome!
