UGW 1+/1+ Counter Deck (Standard)

WORK IN PROGRESS
__
-The strategy is to utilize creatures with counter abilities. This deck wants to use Hangarback Walker to its potential. Servant of the Scales served as a T1 or T2 card. Priority is given to Hardened Scales to play first, as it will help make Servant and Hangarback bigger as they enter the battlefield. Servant can die and help aid Hangarback, or another Servant and piggy-back it back to Hangarback when Servant dies.

-Jace, Vryn's Prodigy is used as a looter during creature form, then as a Snapcaster to utilized socery in the graveyard (mainly Earthen Arms.) Jace in creature form can help make the graveyard grow, seeing that Halimar Tidecaller can return cards with Awaken from the graveyard. (Earthen/ Rush of Ice) or Jace can utilize in Planeswalker form.

• Kiora, Master of the Depths allows Hangarback to get two counters on its own, due to her (+1) ability which allows to untap a creature and/or a land. Tap Hangarback to gain a counter, then use Kiora to untap Hangarback. Then tap again for another counter/ pseudo vigilance

-Planar Outburst is used as a boardwipe for all creatures except land-creatures. In this deck, Planar is used to sack Hangarback which will bring a hoard of thopters to finish the opponent in the air. In case Planar Outburst is countered, cast Halimar to bring it back from the graveyard or use Jace to recast it. Though Planar Outburst is expensive and costs two white mana to cost, using Jace's ability to recast Sylvan Scrying can curve the white mana needed to cast the spell.

-If Jace, Halimar, or Hangarback dies/ goes to the graveyard, you use Sylvan Scrying to "revive" them onto your top deck of your library by finding Mortuary Mire. Because I only included one Mortuary Mire, it has to be worth re-drawing from your library.

-If Hangarback isn't there late game, utilizing's Halimar's ability to give land creatures flying can be a last resort.

-Blighted Steppe is there for life gain after sacking Hangarback (it should have more than 8 counters by T6.)
