Deck overview

This is an Abzan token-and-counter engine deck helmed by Ghave, Guru of Spores. The plan is to ramp into Ghave, use his ability to convert +1/+1 counters into Saprolings, then convert those bodies into more counters, mana, card draw, and drain effects through a dense package of aristocrats and token doublers. The primary finish is an infinite loop involving an altar, Ghave, and a counter/token enabler such as Cathars' Crusade or Doubling Season, with drain outlets like Zulaport Cutthroat or Elas il-Kor, Sadistic Pilgrim closing the game. A secondary combat plan floods the board with Saprolings and finishes with Craterhoof Behemoth. The deck is resilient but heavily engine-driven, needing a few specific pieces to go off.
