by TheVanished on 20 March 2016

Main Deck (60 cards)

Sideboard (15 cards)

Deck Description

g/w bolster deck, looked fun, so i made it

How to Play

Drop Anafenza early game, boost up other creatures with bolster, attack for a lot of damage. Use instants to get some giant creatures really quickly, and use Gleam of Authority to make a creature super big.

Chance for Enduring Scalelord's infinite ramp.

Sideboard for those pesky flying decks/aggro decks/destroy decks.

Doubling season would be cool in this deck- double all your +1/+1 counters

I suppose your hardened scales kind of does the same thing but doubling season plus hardened scales woukd be crazy - woukd that actually be an infinite ? You bolster a counter , hardened scales see's that and adds a counters, doubling season see's both those events and doubles them, hardened scales again see's that....

If you don't mind I woukd like to clone your deck to try playing around with it a bit. I won't publish it for quite a while , I just want to test this bolster ability out a bit.

Hardened Scales - boosts the number of +1/+1 counters.
Evolving Wilds - helps with mana fixing
Blossoming Sands - helps with mana fixing
Enduring Scalelord - with two of these out, they can get indefinitely big.
Inspiring Call - card draw and protects your creatures from most removal.
Managorger Hydra - gains +1/+1 counters whenever any player casts a spell.
Sunscorch Regent - gains +1/+1 counters and gives you 1 life whenever an opponent casts a spell.

Thanks for the input! I added Hardened Scales to the deck, but because of it's cost, only two, and added some Blossoming Sands, as well as a few other lands to help with mana fixing. I threw Inspiring Call into the sideboard simply because I couldn't decide what to replace, and figured you could throw it in if you feel you need to draw more cards. Scalelord, Managorger, and Sunscorch would be awesome, but due to their converted mana cost, as well as the fact that they don't help out other creatures, I feel they would work better in a separate deck, maybe one built off of +1/+1 counters whenever a spell is cast? and again, thanks for your help!

umm I agree with the enduring scalelord idea for any deck g/w that utilizes +1/+1 counters// why would you not want an infinite combo win con?

Okay, okay, I'm convinced. I put in the Enduring Scalelord, dropped feat of resistance to the sideboard, and dropped Honor's Reward
