Best colors for a +1/+1 counter Edh?

Commander (EDH) forum

Posted on Jan. 20, 2014, 8:10 p.m. by TheNight77

I really want to make a deck around +1/+1 counters. I was originally going to go with b/u/g and use vorosh and Mimeoplasm, but i saw animar and krush and i'm not starting to think otherwise. What would be the best commanders and/or colors for this kind of deck. I figure there has to be green and I don't know how good the color white would be besides Mikeaus. HELP!!!

Vorel of the Hull Clade lets you have a really strong +1/+1 counters theme. That's how I made my deck Vorel and his Merry Counters. He could also be a part of the 99 with The Mimeoplasm as well to make him huge.

I'm a fan of Skullbriar, the Walking Grave , he pairs amazingly with so many cards. Opal Palace , Increasing Savagery , scavenge mechanics (can anyone say: Varolz, the Scar-Striped ?) and many more.

If you just want to put counters on creatures, Ghave, Guru of Spores combos with a lot of cards to put a lot of +1/+1 counters on creatures as well as a lot of tokens onto the battlefield

Experiment Kraj could work pretty well.

First, you need to figure out what function you want the counters to follow. Do you simply want to make big creatures that have a lot of +1/+1 counters? Or do you want those +1/+1 counters to do something (aka Experiment Kraj ). The +1/+1 counters can be removed by certain cards as a cost for another effect (Spike Feeder ). If you could give more information as to what you are looking for, that would be most appreciated.

definite blue black green counter combo deck. There are so many great cards. Vorel of the Hull Clade . Corpsejack Menace . The Mimeoplasm . Varolz, the Scar-Striped obviously those are only a few cards but you should have no problem finding others!

Green's gotta be involved, obviously, because Doubling Season .

Adding black gives Corpsejack Menace and Skullbriar as a general choice.

Adding blue gives Vorel of the Hull Clade , Gilder Bairn , and Inexorable Tide .

White adds Cathars' Crusade , which allows you to also do the token thing (Rhys the Redeemed says hi).

Going BUG gives Vorosh, the Hunter as a good "win by commander damage" general, Naya gives Marath, Will of the Wild as anything from pure combo to token aggro, and Junk gives you Ghave, Guru of Spores , who goes infinite like 15 different ways.

It depends more on your playstyle than anything, though.

I personally very much enjoy Ghave, Guru of Spores but I can imagine that Vorel of the Hull Clade to be interesting also
