Deck overview

This is a classic Ghave, Guru of Spores token/counter aristocrats combo deck. The plan is to flood the board with Saprolings, multiply both tokens and +1/+1 counters through doubling effects, and convert that mass into mana and drain via sacrifice outlets. The primary win is an infinite Saproling loop: Ghave, Guru of Spores plus a free sacrifice outlet like Ashnod's Altar or Phyrexian Altar generates infinite mana and infinite tokens, which a drain engine (Blood Artist, Elas il-Kor, Sadistic Pilgrim, Mirkwood Bats, Slimefoot, the Stowaway) converts into a table kill. Secondary paths are a go-wide combat swarm with Tendershoot Dryad, Beastmaster Ascension, and Eldrazi Monument, plus counter-multiplier blowouts through Cathars' Crusade and The Ozolith. The deck is a mid-power combo engine that wins through redundancy rather than speed.
