Ezuri, Claw of Progress deck to try some counters.

Goal is to play Ezuri, Claw of Progress as soon as possible (but with some kind of protection in my hand!), then to get some experience counters + Sage of Hours.

Inspired a lot by "Five Counter Death Punch" by OneRingToGruulThemAll. (Primer on MTG Salvation).

Important notes:

• when playing Steely Resolve, set it to "Warriors"
• Trinket Mage searches for: Hangarback Walker/Walking Ballista/Mana Vault/Skullclamp/Sol Ring
• Finale of Devastation - tutor (& ramp with Dryad Arbor)
• You may play Shrieking Drake as many times as you have enough (play Shrieking Drake for , return itself to your hand and repeat ...) so you get a lot of EXP counters
  
  

Coming Soon:

• Tolaria West - tutor for Mana Crypt + Gaea's Cradle + Mox Diamond / Chrome Mox / Mox Amber + Hangarback Walker + Walking Ballista
• Mana Crypt
• Eladamri, Lord of Leaves - protection
  
  

Combos:

• Ezuri, Claw of Progress (with 5 EXP counters) + Sage of Hours = Infinite turns.
• Ezuri, Claw of Progress + Shrieking Drake + Earthcraft + Island = infinite EXP counters
• Ezuri, Claw of Progress + Squirrel Nest + Earthcraft + basic land = infinite squirrels and EXP counters (or just infinite army of squirrels without Ezuri on the battlefield).

Latest Changes:

2019-07-30

• Blighted Agent => Mausoleum Wanderer - more protection, combo with Finale of Devastation is nothing special ..
• Lumbering Falls => Waterlogged Grove - untapped + cantrip if needed

2019-07-11:

• Greater Good => Mox Diamond - Ramp
• Prime Speaker Zegana => Nest Invader - tokens & Ramp
• Invisible Stalker => Arbor Elf - more ramp
• Forgotten Ancient => Cultivator of Blades - boost
• Rishkar's Expertise => Mana Crypt - more ramp
• Faerie Artisans => Yisan, the Wanderer Bard - tutor on the battlefield ..

Being considered:

• Natural Order - tutor on the battlefield
• Curse of the Swine - Removal or token generator .. depends on the situation
• Nest Invader - 2 EXP counters + 1 mana!
• Whiptongue Hydra - to get rid of flyers ..
• Hornet Queen - protection from flyers (and 5 Experience counters!)
• Protean Hulk (with Flash) - tutor for Sage of Hours and 4 one-drops => infinite turns
• Selvala, Heart of the Wilds - a lot of mana
• Runic Armasaur - card draw
• Snapcaster Mage - instant / sorcery recursion
• Spike Feeder - life gain (worth only for very long and slow games)
• Kitchen Finks - life gain and "immortality" with Ezuri
