---

A sweet mixture of +1/+1 counter and Human swarm strategies.

---

Plenty of options if you want to tune up the decklist.

For something more casual, you have cards such as :

• Retrofitter Foundry (was part of the mainboard for a while)

• Pitiless Plunderer

• Revel in Riches

• Smothering Tithe

• Death's Presence

• Ethereal Absolution

• Primal Vigor

• Phyrexian Arena

• card:Twillight Shepherd

• Phyrexian Reclamation

• Awakening Zone

• Necrogenesis

• Eldrazi Monument

• Elesh Norn, Grand Cenobite

• Elspeth, Sun's Champion

• Vraska, Golgari Queen

• Vraska, Relic Seeker

• Nissa, Voice of Zendikar

• Helm of the Host + Vedalken Orrery +Swords package+Jitte+ Batterskull +etc. (could be funny in a more Voltron oriented version - with unlimited mana and cards to double your tokens ( Doubling Season , Second Harvest , Primal Vigor , Anointed Procession , Parallel Lives , etc.), you can create a bunch of infinite/infinite Daghatar to strike down all your opponents in a single turn)

For something more competitive :

• add any infinite mana combo (two should be enough) > (so you can play Daghatar, use its ability to move one of his counters on any creature you control with persist, sacrifice the creature with persist for X effect, repeat the cycle, Daghatar dies due to having no counter anymore, then you recast Dagathar, repeat the cycle etc. etc. etc. (a bit boring IMO))

• Altar of Dementia

• Greater Good

• Ashnod's Altar

• big 'drazibois

• Sylvan Library

• Grim Tutor

• Imperial Seal

• Birthing Pod

• Kitchen Finks

• Cauldron Haze (a lil' bit clunky)

• Aerie Ouphes

• Worldly Tutor

• Cryptolith Rite (needs more token sources to feel effective enough)

• Heroic Intervention (meta depending)

• Teferi's Protection (meta depending)

• Skyshroud Claim (meta depending)

• Aura Shards (meta depending)

• Swords to Plowshares (meta depending - better than Path to Exile if you're running more of a combo version than something aggressive (this deck doesn't need both - if you're planning on making it competitive you should probably also cut Attrition ))

• Defense of the Heart (meta depending)

• Wasteland (meta depending)

• Gaddock Teeg (meta depending)

• Asceticism (meta depending)

• Sidisi, Undead Vizier

• Contamination (meta depending)

• Smokestack (meta depending)

• Dawn of Hope (meta depending - could be good mana sink if you manage to give your tokens some kind of haste - more useful if you go for Anafenza considering that Daghatar already gives you permanent access to a mana sink)

---

Daghatar the Adamant makes a better commander than Anafenza, the Foremost in this strategy (persist combo - +1/+1 counters) and is more by far reliable on the late game, but if you're planning on going really aggressive, after sideboarding switch 'em.
