Casual Compleation

This deck focuses on +1/+1 counters to make an increasingly threatening board, whilst having some sub-themes of charge counters and Phyrexian domination with the praetors that can be "cheated" out on the board with a reanimate, the appropriate praetor depending on the decks/board you're playing against. The go to strategy is to get small counters on as many pieces of the board, and then have Atraxa get out and equip Helm of the host, which will make your end step get heavy on proliferation.

Some alternative Wincons can be seen with Simic Ascendancy and Darksteel Reactor . Simic Ascendancy can easily meet the 20 Growth counters swiftly if you have Atraxa out along with Doubling Season and/or Vorinclex, Monstrous Raider .

In the making of this deck I specifically did not allow any infect, as the playgroup I'm in doesn't find it fun to play against.

I'm open to suggestions of improving it, but as it stands I'm happy with it.
