I like the direction you have with The Millennium Calendar, which is why I mostly wanted to recommend stuff that also had Proliferate stapled onto it. The last time I played Simic +1/+1 counters was a few years ago with Eutropia the Twice-Favored at the helm of an Enchantress/Counters deck.

You and I have similar approaches, in that I also focus on what I have in binders for initial drafts before making dedicated (and pricey) upgrades. It feels good to flip through binders and mostly find what you need lol.

All that being said, looking forward to keeping tabs on your deck's development.

Thank you for following up Femme_Fatale. Everything from OTJ/OTC/BIG looks like it's showing up as legal now.

No prob, thank you for helping out Profet93, I appreciate it. Wanted to make sure I give credit where its due.

I've had fun brewing Vraska, name jokes aside. I haven't brewed a Golgari commander until now, so she's been a fun puzzle to figure out.

Hello once again ShadowTheMonk. Thanks for stopping by again

Great mana curve! I love a great curve like that lol.

The tough thing with +1/+1 Counters strats is that there's always so many good options to choose from; some a bit more meta dependent & narrow than others for sure. A few ideas for potential considerations:

• Ripples of Potential - Board protection & proliferation, but def the priciest of the recommendations

• Mutational Advantage - A more narrow Heroic Intervention that can also proliferate.

• Ravenous Slime - I've played this in a few counters decks, especially since I play in a meta with a decent frequency of Aristocrats & Reanimator decks. Def a more meta dependent option, but one that can get huge pretty quick.

• Wave Goodbye - Should be fairly asymmetrical most of the time.

Thanks for checking back in Profet93, and no worries. Emergence Zone is great! I have it in a couple of other decks that can surprise with Flash out of the colors you'd expect it.

I could likely swap Orchard or a basic. I feel like I tend to see Green and Black frequently enough that I haven't been lacking for colors via Orchard in the past.

Thanks for linking the deck, Formless0209. I skimmed it a bit a few days ago, but didn't read it in as much detail as I could have; mostly because I felt like our approaches were kind of different. I'll give it another look.

You somehow managed to post a blank comment, Formless0209, which is kind of impressive. Maybe it was a link that didn't work or post?

Thank you for the suggestion Formless0209, a couple of other folks have also suggested it.

I used to play Longbow in an early version of my old Prosper deck, but swapped it out of there for something more synergistic. I think Longbow has a higher ceiling in this deck than Prosper for sure. My personal preference is that I don't really play with equipment much beyond Lightning Greaves, Swiftfoot Boots, & Skullclamp.

I def have Longbow in mind, especially as I get some more IRL games in with the deck & continue to evaluate the removal options.

I hadn't really considered either of the Vraska PWs that you suggested. My primary meta is pretty aggro, so PWs don't see much play. I'll keep them in mind though.

Any suggestions for cuts?

It looks like the OTJ/OTC cards are still being marked as not legal in any formats, or at least for EDH.

No prob Profet93, I appreciate the sincerity of your feedback on my deck and the many others I see you commenting on.

I do have a copy of Raking Canopy! I think I picked it up a couple of years ago when I was messing around with a Mono-Green build (and before Kura existed lol). It's definitely one that I've considered slotting as tech against Kangee, but have also held off because it feels really niche. The Kangee deck and its flyers definitely aren't the only flying creatures that I encounter on a regular basis. I'll definitely keep it in mind, especially if it ends up being a consistent enough issue worth addressing.

Thank you for taking the time to offer your feedback, and for reading through the primer Profet93, I appreciate it.

I like what you've suggested and wanted to offer my thoughts in turn:

Thank you for the questions and suggestions! Definitely a fun thought exercise to get my day started.

Thank you Profet93, looking forward to your suggestions.

I appreciate it Jacethemindsculptor1243, glad you got a kick out of it.

KBK7101, if you and/or the people you typically play with don't have any issues with proxies, maybe you can make your own "Universes Within" custom versions of some of the UB stuff so you can try them out.

Also, you might want to add your No Universes Beyond disclaimer to your primer. I was about to suggest adding Danny Pink as a middle ground for draw and counter support.

Your mana curve is looking chef's kiss.

Overall, looking more solid since I checked it out yesterday. If you feel like you're now leaning too heavily into the +1/+1 counters theme, it could be helpful to swap a couple of Counters related slots with some more draw like Night's Whisper, Plumb the Forbidden, or just draw slots that aren't dependent on your creatures connecting with combat damage.

Also, if you want to condense your Counter Support slots into quality vs quantity, Railway Brawler could also help in that regard.

Sound like solid cuts to make, I was going to suggest cutting the Ninjutsu stuff. I checked out a bit of the Command Zone's Grand Larceny upgrade guide yesterday, and I think they suggested cutting the Ninjutsu stuff too lol.

Froghemoth is fun! I'm running it in my soon-to-be published Ognis, the Dragon's Lash deck. It's the current successor to my Prosper & Windgrace decks.

Nice! Lol Ravenous Slime is one of those cards that each time I play it, it receives a "It does what?!" response from folks. If you play against aristocrats stuff fairly often, it can get out of hand.

You must have made the edits while I was typing up my suggestions. I kept CRTL+F searching to make sure I wasn't suggesting something you already were considering. We're on the same wavelength once again lol

If you're looking to lean a bit more into +1/+1 counters, I think Managorger Hydra and Ravenous Slime could both be decent candidates. They balloon into threats on their own without much needed additional investment on your part from support cards, and both have built in evasion.

Champion of Lambholt could help open up evasion for your board to get those combat triggers, and Herald of Secret Streams could also help in this regard.

Mr. Orfeo will only double the power of one target creature per combat.

If you have something like Roaming Throne, Isshin, Two Heavens as One, or Strionic Resonator in play, you could potentially get additional Orfeo triggers, and double the power of additional target creatures beyond the first.
