Still in the lab.  This is the Counterpunch deck with some significant alterations.  The mana base has been VASTLY upgraded.  I'm adding more creatures that rely on +1/+1 counters.  If I can get my hands on a Doubling Season, it's a shoo-in.

6/21/11 update:

Jesus Christ on a Segway, this deck is HILARIOUS.  Ghave's abilities boil down to basically "2: move a +1/+1 counter from one creature to another", and that's just the barest tip of the iceberg when it comes to the shenanigans you can pull using this guy.  I am ecstatic with Ghave as a general.  On a related note, it's a crime that Skullbriar didn't come in this deck.  He and Ghave are BFFs!  A creature that manipulates counters paired with a creature who never loses them?  SIGN ME THE FUCK UP.  "Skully, that Swords to Plowshares came outta nowhere.  Hold these for me, I'll be back in a few."

I think I shall nickname this deck X-Files, for Ghave and Skullbriar: "Molder" and "Skully".

That being said, I need to re-think a couple of things about this deck.  Creatures that use counters aren't nearly as awesome as counter and token generators.  Spiritmonger may be a no-brainer for inclusion, but he's not half as fantastic as Ant Queen (holy SHIT is she awesome).  I need to grab a few odds and ends to throw in the deck.  Breeding Pit, Hornet Cannon, Night Soil, Kjeldoran Outpost...basically any permanent that lets me pop out 0/1 or 1/1 dorks.  And I need to find my copy of Muraganda Petroglyphs.

Also, how did I miss the applicability of Proliferate?  God, a Contagion Engine in this deck is a Very Scary Idea.

ZOMGWTFBBQ! Stop the presses!  Khabal Ghoul has a permanent home, and this just became my permanent Commander deck!

6/23 update:

Almost done.  Stuff listed in the Sideboard section are potential additions that I can't find room for.  Seriously, every card in this deck is applicable in some form or another, and I can't figure out what to cut for some of these ideas, good as they may be.

6/24 update:

An irritating thought: Skullbriar isn't nearly as good in this deck as I want him to be.  His ability is only really relevant if you either (a) position him as your commander, or (b) pack a shit-ton of recursion.  Neither is suitable for this deck.  He might have to come out in favor of another beater, like Verdant Force.
