Good Proliferate engines
Commander (EDH) forum

For my first EDH deck, I've decided to give the Modular mechanic some love (with Feldon of the Third Path at the helm.) Feldon can bring back a Modular creature then sacrifice it at end of turn for more +1/+1 counters. And he can do this repeatedly.
A natural subtheme here would be proliferate, to give everyone more counters. What are some good proliferate cards? My list so far:
dahhahm - if i'm remembering right, Coretapper won't do anything for his theme/strategy. Core tapper specifies "charge counter" so it won't do anything for like Arcbound Worker and its ilk.

Oh thanks ChiefBell, didn't realize you could do that for mechanics.
As regards charge counters: I think I'll use Golem Foundry and such which can benefit from proliferation, but not going dedicated charge counters.

seems like a waste to use artifact and proliferate for only +1 counters when there are things like Astral Cornucopia, Everflowing Chalice, Lux Cannon.

Most of the other good proliferate cards are in blue and green unfortunately. Going mono-red really limits you to the artifact proliferate cards. I'd personally suggest going with a Jund color deck. That will get you some of the green proliferate cards, and give you access to Corpsejack Menace. Alternately for a +1/+1 counter proliferate deck, Marchesa, the Black Rose would be a fantastic general. That will give you some of the better blue proliferate cards too.
