Mono-Green Counters Ramp
StandardDeck Strategy
A mono-green Standard deck that ramps, grows +1/+1 counter threats, and closes with Doubling Season-backed monsters.
Bristly Bill, Spine Sower and Mossborn Hydra reward land drops and grow quickly with +1/+1 counters. Doubling Season doubles those counters, turning small creatures into game-ending threats. Hunter's Talent and Longstalk Brawl clear blockers, while Overprotect protects key creatures from removal.
Keep hands with two to four lands and at least one early creature or Bushwhack. Mulligan hands that are all expensive threats or have no green source. A hand with Bushwhack plus a three-drop is ideal.
Early: ramp with Bushwhack and deploy cheap creatures. Mid: grow Bristly Bill or Mossborn Hydra and use Hunter's Talent and Longstalk Brawl to remove blockers. Late: resolve Doubling Season or Quilled Greatwurm and finish with Valley Rally or a huge hydra.
The deck is vulnerable to sweepers and heavy removal on Bristly Bill or Mossborn Hydra. It can flood if it draws too many lands and no payoffs. Be careful against decks with cheap interaction and flying creatures.
