Cards That Double or Add Counters

Modern forum

Posted on April 6, 2014, 2:32 p.m. by InnerFlame

I'm looking to build a green deck around counters. The thought was to have cards that double counters or add counters like Kalonian Hydra does.

Are there any good cards that interact with counters like Kalonian Hydra and what are some good creatures that would fit in here.

TheDevicer It's okay. I appreciate the comment and i'll probably end up just using the deck causally anyways. Do you know of an cards that cost less mana and interact with counters?

Well, there's Corpsejack Menace . The problem is the effect you're looking for is really powerful. If it were cheaper it could easily be abused.

TheDevicer I know doubling counters is really powerful. Really I'm just looking for anything that interacts with counters. Even just a simple and cheap spell that places a few counters.

Increasing Savagery is a good one. Going mono-green actually restricts your options, but

Primordial Hydra , and there's that untap creature whoms doubles counter,, though name escapes me. Makes me think of that Final Fantasy bastard of a monster.

Vorel, the Hull Clade can double the amount of counters on more than just creatures. It can even interact with Astral Cornucopia or a Gideon if you turn him into a creature. Perhaps even the counters on vivid lands if you're in to that kind of idea. (if you're unfamiliar with vivid lands, here's an example of one of the five. Vivid Marsh )

DaggerV I forgot all about Increasing Savagery !! Also, I just decided to make it G/R. Although, what -Logician said makes me want to put in blue too.

Here's what I have so far: Face the Hydra (Counters). I know i need to cut it by 20 and some cards have better replacements. It is very prototype.

If you're running Doubling Season , I can't say that I agree with not running any planeswalkers, considering they come in and can basically Ultimate immediate. Look at basically any Garruk. All broken with Doubling Season.

-Logician I'm looking into putting in Garruk, Caller of Beasts and Domri Rade

Caller of beasts is better if you plan on using doubling season because the ultimate would be immediate, which is completely ridiculous. Run 10 Worldspine wurms please. :D

Gilder Bairn was what I was trying to think of.

-Logician I just have no idea where to put garruk. Any suggestions on what to cut? lol Worldspine Wurm doesn't have counters though haha.

Cut everything for 20 garruks and 4 storm crow, if you want to be unbeatable.

DaggerV that card is really good. I just don't know if I want to put in blue.

You don't need to put in blue for Glider Bairn. Just pay green mana for it? :P

-Logician you are correct.

Could you guys help me trim the deck down. I have no clue on what to cut.
