Ghave, Guru of Spores

Ghave, Guru of Spores is a counter-and-token engine that turns +1/+1 counters into exponential board presence. You're leveraging Ghave's two abilities to create a loop: remove counters to make Saprolings, sacrifice those tokens to add counters back to other creatures (or Ghave itself), then repeat. The deck wins by either attacking with a massive army of tokens, going infinite with the right cards, or simply overwhelming opponents through token generation and sacrifice synergies.

The core gameplan involves tutoring for cards that multiply your tokens or create explosive turns. Doubling Season and Parallel Lives turn each token-creation trigger into two tokens, while cards like Impact Tremors and Zulaport Cutthroat drain opponents when creatures enter or die. Aristocrat-style payoffs (Viscera Seer, Blood Artist) turn your sacrifice loop into direct damage or card draw. Since you're always creating and sacrificing creatures, you also naturally fuel graveyard strategies and trigger landfall effects if you include them.
