Deck discussion for Sage of Turns

Simic Guildmage (not Zameck Guildmage) might be worth considering. For {1}{G} it can move a +1/+1 counter from one creature to another, and with Hardened Scales out, the number of counters will increase.

Other cards, in colour, that can move +1/+1 counters include Bioshift (which you're already using) and Fate Transfer.

I actually just added some Guildmage. He is pretty good here. I was originally sticking with the evolve function but i think he fits well.

My issue with Fate Transfer is the ALL counters move. That makes it unplayable on a sage while bioshift or guildmage do not. If im sitting at 8 counters, and i really need that extra turn, I dont want to remove all 8 counters and get a single extra. So i want to be able to move those counters elsewhere before hand, and Fate Transfer cant do it. =(

Thanks for the comment man.

I agree with the reason to not include Fate Transfer. I merely suggested it as a possible addition.

Was looking up some lands that may help. It's sad you don't have access to White, because Gavony Township is awesome with Hardened Scales.
Llanowar Reborn is an interesting land, while it enters tapped and only adds green, it does have Graft 1, giving a free counter to Sage when it enters the battlefield. Combo'd with Hardened Scales, Llanowar Reborn can provide more than one counter.
Oran-Rief, the Vastwood and Novijen, Heart of Progress suffer the same drawback of only putting counters on creatures that entered the battlefield the turn you activate it.

Vines of Vastwood is more versatile than Ranger's Guile as you can use Vines of Vastwood to prevent the opponent from targeting one of his own creatures. I've actually done this once, the opponent was playing the Knight Fall combo, combo'd off, fetched Rogue's Passage as his last land, then tried to make the Knight unblockable for the win. I cast Vines of Vastwood on the Knight in response, blocking with an Elf Warrior token, then proceeded to kill him the next turn :P

Simic Charm is also worth considering, the mass hexproof is handy.

I've been running two Dosan the Falling Leaf in the sideboard of my Elf Warrior deck for a few weeks now. Helps a lot against Turbo Fog and counter heavy decks.

I've also been running two Natural State in the Elf Warrior sideboard. This helps a lot against Bogles / Aura Hexproof.

I can see Vapor Snag being useful too.

Thanks for all the suggestions man. Hard to fit in everything that can help but you helped my sideboard quite a bit. I appreciate it.
