I was just ranting about something about G/W +1/+1 synergy in the discord just yesterday haha. Also of note there is the Kami of Whispered Hopes for 2G that gives additional counters and is a huge mana dork Lots of good ol jank potential
yo bro you should check out orery tumblewag for this deck, he can saddle and when you saddle him and attack with it, it can DOUBLE the amount of counters on a card. insane value at 3 mana
Another of note if you needed a lifelink there is a Sigard Paladin that is pretty solid and of course there is the boonbringer or probably better yet the steel seraphs
I think Serph was counting on the exile effect of the companion (of gaining two life) to take priority prior to dying at 0 life. Probably would've lost anyway, but without that effect on his companion he would've surely blocked your trampler.
O.m.g. HGG, I just went 1 - 10 with this deck (9% winrate). I just hat two horrible days playing this more traditional "+1/+1 Counters"-deck and Philipa's "Backup Counters"-deck. That one went 3 - 9 (25% winrate). I do not know what goes wrong here. My average winrate over the past year with 10 - 15 different decks is about 60%. I can not even break silver rank, dropped all the way back to tier 2 with these two decks, feels embarrassing. Usually I have a lot of fun playing your decks and even the Artisan decks I have tried in the past had a better winrate than this.
Disclaimer: I may or may not have ever worked on this game at one point. I may or may not have signed an NDA. For legal reasons I must state this post is satire. This is a throw away account for obvious reasons. With all of that out of the way, here's how MTG Arena is not a legit competitive experience. The point of the rigging is to ensure someone doesn't win too much to the best of the companies ability. Whether it is to give them a reason to buy more cards, to equal out the playing field, etc. I was not actually given a reason why they wanted to do this. How is it rigged? A number of ways not disclosed to the user base. Everyone knows about the land manipulation in bo1, but it goes well beyond that. First of all the rigging is randomized and this is the reason for a lack of evidence. I'm sort of surprised I've never seen anyone(to my knowledge) figure this out. The game will make you lose but in many different ways that I'll get into more detail about below. The rigging is in every mode of play bo1, bo3, ranked, non ranked etc. First of all for every 200(this number can and will change frequently) games you play it's going to try to make sure you only win about half of them, but in semi randomized intervals. As you get closer to that 200 number and the desired result hasn't been reached yet, it will greatly increase the rigging, and that's when you'll see a string of seemingly impossible odds and card interactions. It can go the other way too if you lose a lot. The blog that showed you tanking a bunch at the beginning of a new rank then being more likely to win is a good example of this happening, however it will happen after any string of losses or wins regardless of being at the start of a new rank or not. The rigging will happen in many ways, including rigging the shuffling, putting you up against a deck that will counter yours, and mana flood and starve, and if you go first or not. When the game wants you to lose it will randomize the way it does it. Sort of like putting all the ways into a hat then using randomized code to pick one out. After that it then randomizes the way that particular choosing of rigging will play out. What do I mean? Say the game has decided it wants you to be flooded, it will have many different ways to shuffle to flood you. Maybe draw 4 lands in a row, maybe 2 then 2 non land cards then 3 more lands etc. The reason this is done is so nobody could catch on, to give the illusion you're playing a legit game. Patterns can't really be found when the rigging has so many options for rigging, and the exact method of each of these options is itself randomized, and the intervals in which the rigging occur are also randomized. The more extreme rigging occurs as you win despite more mild efforts trying to stop you. However even the extreme methods are randomized. Also sometimes you are playing against bots. This is a large part of the reason they won't add in game chat. When the games rigging doesn't work, as it's not perfect since they don't want to make it too obvious, they use bots. Ever played against a player with 100+ cards that somehow had a perfect response to your obscure anti meta jank that wins a lot? That was probably a bot. You can choose to believe all of this or not, also feel free to share it

Lots of good ol jank potential
right now i am using botanical brawler with kami of whispered hopes and ozolith, add in an ornery tumblwag with fairgrounds trumpeter and its insane
love this deck. had been working on one similar but this is def a more well rounded one.
I have an updated version of this with the new kitty that im crushing mythic with, should be live in a day or two!

he has steel seraphs in the deck already.

That's a dope hat bro😃
Yoooo hot rod quote
Id say add blue for tempo but mainly brokers ascendancy
Broken ascendency could fit nice here. Chain of triggers = auto concede :p
You can not curve one drops with a bant manabase. You have to play 4 copies of the triome, tap lands and aggro aren't compatible.
Good player

Holy shit this is awesome bro!!

In my experience of playing Arena, I can certainly say that all of this adds up. I definitely believe the game is rigged.
why do you have over a million gold??!? holy cow. Can i have some? 😂
