The goal of this deck is to use efficient creatures to overwhelm an opponent early on. Endless One and Avatar of the Resolute are finishers. Suggestions are always welcome.

Now that I've had a good bit of playtesting with this fun little homebrew, I think I'm fairly confident of my main board. I need some sideboard advice, mainly. Our meta basically consists of dirty net-deckers, so we'll see things that typically align with Top8s at PT, PTQ, Opens, and whatever other acronyms there are for people playing Magic competitively. Originality is lacking with this bunch.

Card Selections

Anafenza, Kin-Tree Spirit - Given my aggressive curve, I can generally make use of Anafenza's bolster trigger multiple times in a turn, allowing me to draw more with Inspiring Call or make a larger Avatar of the Resolute.

Avatar of the Resolute - This guy wants me to play my deck the way it wants to be played. It's got really good value, and helps me to deal with a problem area, which is fliers. It also gets damage through blocks.

Citadel Castellan - If this card didn't have vigilance, I probably wouldn't run it. But if it manages to obtain its Renown effect, it hits pretty hard for decent value.

Dromoka's Command - Card basically says win more.

Endless One - Who doesn't want to run things on curve? Makes people possibly think twice about casting Displacement Wave, since it'll come back stronger.

Hardened Scales - While it isn't a game-winner in and of itself, it does allow the deck to run faster than without. Having fun with it till rotation hits in April.

Inspiring Call - Another card that just wants me to play my deck. Given the prevalence of removal in the format, it can help against most kinds.

Nissa, Voice of Zendikar - Nissa inspired the deck, I built it around her, and this is the result.

Salt Road Quartermasters - Bouncing counters around is fun. Makes combat math more difficult, which could play to my advantage.

Servant of the Scale - This is in for fun things like what happened in playtesting. I attacked with an Avatar into a field of deathtouch creatures. With a Dromoka's Command, I added a counter to the Avatar and used the second mode for the Servant to fight another Deathtouch creature. I put the counters generated onto the Avatar which made its swing lethal.

Undercity Troll - Can keep him alive with his regenerate and it's a bear with an additional effect. Why not?
