Speculative upcoming standard deck, based around light snow/+1/+1 counter synergies and just combining the most powerful 1 and 2 cost cards in the colors.

I think the potential is decently high, lots of individual really strong cards with decent synergies (multiple manasinks for Stowaway, enough counter synergy for Shambler and Quandrix, etc)

The deck isn't too fast when goldfishing but it has enough value that I think it can make up for it. The fact that all 16 of the 1 and 2 drops scale so so well into the mid and late game is really important, and makes up for the lack of 3 drops since as long as you had any turn 1 or 2 play you'll be able to spend your mana still.

Primal Adversary might be a better curve topper than Tanazir Quandrix but I'm not sure, Quandrix is faster and as long as you have a board, wins the game the turn you attack with him, but Adversary is of course much better at rebuilding after a sweeper or something.

Jorn, God of Winter   might be worth running as well, ceiling is really high but it also feels slow and is extremely vulnerable to red removal.

Sideboard is extremely speculative, overall there's very few cards for aggro matchups apart from the removal spells so I couldnt find anything else to fill the slots but ways to fight blue decks.
