Concept

A fast White-Green aggro deck from Bloomburrow that overwhelms opponents by placing +1/+1 counters on creatures and gaining life, using card draw from the Selesnya Triggerlands and synergy with counter-doubling.

Synergies

Valley Mightcaller and Might of the Meek each gain a +1/+1 counter and a life when they deal combat damage, while Pollen-Shield Hare gains you life whenever a creature you control gets a counter. Scurry of Squirrels creates 1/1 tokens when it deals combat damage, which can later be pumped by Innkeeper's Talent. Innkeeper's Talent doubles all +1/+1 counters placed each turn, turning each combat into massive growth. Shardmage's Rescue protects key creatures from removal, and Get Lost exiles problematic permanents. Bite Down and Parting Gust provide efficient removal.

Mulligan Strategy

Keep any hand with at least two lands and a one-drop (Valley Mightcaller or Might of the Meek) or a two-drop like Pollen-Shield Hare. Mulligan hands with only one land or no early plays. You want to apply pressure from turn one.

Game Plan

Early turns: Play a one-drop creature to start accruing counters and life. Turn two: Play Pollen-Shield Hare or Shardmage's Rescue for protection. Mid game: Cast Innkeeper's Talent to double counters, then Sandstorm Salvager or Scurry of Squirrels to flood the board. Use Get Lost, Bite Down, and Parting Gust to remove blockers. Late game: Overwhelm with a wide board of large creatures protected by Shardmage's Rescue.

Weaknesses

Sweepers like Sunfall or Temporary Lockdown can reset your board. Heavy spot removal can disrupt the counter synergy. The deck lacks dedicated card draw, so it can run out of steam. Use Get Lost to remove threats and keep mana for Shardmage's Rescue to protect your biggest creatures.
