Thia deck uses Daghatar to attain a nigh-immortal field. When they die, our creatures will come back with a mix of +1/+1 & -1/-1 counters. Daghatar can move the +1/+1 onto a creature with a -1/-1. The two neutralize each other and the creatures have dodged death for another day. Add in a few "on death" triggers, and what kills me will only make me stronger. The "Mathematicians" help Daghatar manage the counters.

Memorable games/moments:

 -(2016/08/25) Over the course of a game, my turn 5 Vorapede died 15 times.  He blocked, beat, and was sac'ed to Vampiric Rites. Dhagatar put 8 of the 15 counters on a monstrous  Fleecemane Lion, 4 were used to negate Puppeteer Clique's -1/-1 counters, Dhagatar used two to pump himself, and the other 2 counters swung combat math to save my guys. I ended up dieing, but I left the game with Vorapede & Fleecemane alive, watching, WAITING. THEY ARE ETERNAL :-)
