Notes
Overall Deck Goal - Some combat damage with +1/+1 counters on creatures, but a combo finish
Secondary Plan - Win through combat damage
Weakness -
Power Level Goal - 7 (Playing with Power)
Turn to Win Goal - 8
Landbase -
Staples -
Free Spells - No
Combo - None
Tutors - None
My goal with this deck is to have only a few creatures on the board, but put large numbers of counters on each. I will do this with effects that double counters and/or put as many counters on them as damage they do. The finish is either through combat or through direct damage by putting counters on creatures. MV 1-3 should be ramp, draw and protection spells, and then higher MV is putting counters on creatures.
Alternative Commander - Aragorn, Hornburg Hero will drop the power down at least one level.
Combo - (remove?) One combo - The Red Terror + Shalai or All Will Be One (do I need both?)
Record - 3-8
- Vs. Chatterfang and Muldrotha: Won due to the other two focusing on each other and having almost no creatures. I just coasted in with fliers and actual creatures.
- Vs. Mothman, Zurzoth, Sheoldred, Be'Lakor - Basically the Sheoldred commander was playing a high powered deck and became archenemy, leaving me alone for like 9-10 turns. Went OFF on like turn 12 and did approx 40 damage, enough to finish off everyone else, before combat damage. Technically, this is a 6, since it took so long to go off. Would like to tighten it up a bit.
- Vs. Otharri, Alela, and Ao - Went pretty well. Had a great start, was within one turn of winning, and then Otharri did 27 damage to all opponents in a turn by dropping tokens with Purphoros and Impact Tremors on the field. Would have been nice to either been a little faster or been able to remove enchantments.
- Vs. Giada and Miirym - Miirym wiped me by hitting with a bunch of dragons and the one that turned any damage done to a dragon into a direct damage spell. Was still pretty competitive (would have won next turn), but ran out of cards. Need to add more card draw and velocity!
Vs. Necrobloom, Rhys, Lynde - Didn't have a good answer for Rhys and the Soul Warden they played. Got up to like 115 life. First turn Esper Sentinel drew me like 10 cards. Ramp seemed a little slow. I got to 10 mana by the end but felt a little constrained. Never drew a protection spell either. Goal is to compete with other strong decks, needs a little more speed/ramp and protection.
Won vs. Xanathar, Pantlaza, Ba'Lakor - Pretty good game. Xanathar player kept a marginal hand, but Pantlaza did Dino things, Be'Lakor did Demon things. I was in a pretty good position, I had the Red Terror combo in hand, but did 12 damage one turn, could do 24 the next, so I had a solid plan B.
Loss vs. Tymna + Ravos, Atraxa, Urza - Had a slow start. Mulliganed a 1 land into a 2 land + 1 "ramp", and kept. Didn't draw any other ramp but the Great Henge, which only lasted one turn cycle. I was in a good position there, but then there was a board wipe, and rebuilding was very slow with no ramp or draw. Was getting back in position when Atraxa won w/ Poison. It was slow and boring to play. I drew all of the payoffs, and people killed the few counter-generators I had.
Loss vs. Prosper, Kykar, Mizzix - Was an OK game. Prosper was in front most of the time. Felt like I was barely keeping up, although I don't necessarily wish I was in front. Didn't draw much, didn't put many counters on things. Felt slow. Still nearly won. Turn before I was going to kill two players (Prosper and Mizzix), the Kykar player killed Shalai. Ended up not mattering, as the next turn the Mizzix player did their extra turns thing. Was a very removal heavy table. Used multiple protection spells.

Comments
Maybe reduce the overall CC? It's 3.10. It's just incredibly inconsistent. How to make this more consistent?
Need to:
Add more consistency to land base, remove tap lands.
Add more 1 drop ramp if possible
Add more card draw
Add more counter generators that generate faster. Example - Aragorn takes a couple turns to get started and requires attacking. Slow!
One game got a total accumulated mana of 30 ><
Other game was 46 or so.
Added another land and a Delighted Halfling to accelerate a bit.
To differentiate this from my other counters decks, I want it to be 3 to 4 creatures on the battlefield each with a high number of counters.
