A mono-green stompy deck with lots of +1/+1 counter synergy!

For example:

T1: Forest + Hardened Scales

T2: Forest + Duskshell Crawler (2/5)

T3: Forest + Oran-Rief Ooze (4/4)

T4: Forest + Wildwood Scourge (3/3)

Oran-Rief Ooze & Duskshell Crawler attack. Battlefield becomes:

• Duskshell Crawler (4/7)
• Oran-Rief Ooze (6/6)
• Wildwood Scourge (7/7)

(all with trample)

T5: Nissa, Voice of Zendikar uses -2 ability (or Karn's Bastion proliferates or Pollenbright Druid proliferates) and all three creatures attack. Battlefield becomes:

• Duskshell Crawler (8/11)
• Oran-Rief Ooze (10/10)
• Wildwood Scourge (19/19)

(all with trample)

Notes:

• Almost all creatures have native counter ability
• Hardened Scales, Nissa, Voice of Zendikar, Defiler of Vigor, Kalonian Hydra, Oran-Rief Ooze, Pollenbright Druid, and Karn's Bastion provide quick pump action
• The fatties are Kalonian Hydra and Defiler of Vigor but Wildwood Scourge can pump crazy fast in many scenarios (like the one above), which is especially useful when you're mana-starved. I've also seen the deck win without them because of the synergies between all the cards.
• Since the deck is a stompy, countermeasures are light but can be augmented with your sideboard:
  • Inscription of Abundance can help against fliers but consider sideboarding a couple Raking Canopy and/or a Bow of Nylea
  • Tree of Redemption can help with burn but also consider sideboarding Witchbane Orb or Orbs of Warding
  • The Ozolith can help with creature board-wipe but also consider sideboarding Predator Ooze
  • Boseiju, Who Endures can spot-remove an artifact, enchantment, or non-basic land, but also consider sideboarding Gemrazer
  • Deck is vulnerable to counter so I recommend sideboarding Vexing Shusher and Prowling Serpopard
