Deck discussion for Can Counters be Standard?

Definitely need more Forced Adaptations. I would recommend 3-4 of that and Savage Summoning. I know you're going for standard, so I can't recommend Fuel for the Cause, but I'm going to recommend Fuel for the Cause... Burst of Strength would allow you to rev up those +1/+1 counters or exile it with Elite Arcanist and be happy for the rest of your turns.
I would also get more of Gyre Sage if you're going for a mana ramp, and ditch the Sliver since you're not running a sliver deck. More of Scavenging Ooze would be a good idea, along with Putrefy, which is totally standard legal now thanks to Dragon's Maze.
Since you're running a counter deck, why not Bioshift and Master Biomancer. Bond Beetle could also be fun, but I don't think it's standard legal, not sure...
I've wanted to make something like this for a while. Probably get to it eventually... Keep the ideas coming!

Agree on the Forced Adaptations! Need more Sava ge Summoning, need to find more Burst, need more gyre sage. The sliver is there to fix mana. Plus I only have the two black cards in the deck, so i need to be able to throw them down, since the Corpsejack Menace does SO much. And if i add putrefy, then i will need them even more! Don't own any Master Biomancer...actually never even seen one in person. Great card that I have been trying to acquire though. Bond Beetle is from 2013, so it will no longer be legal as of next week. Hmn...might have to go full on three color with this....

Yeah. Sorry for completely screwing up your mana. I actually came up with an idea to have massive saprolings and infinite evolve counters.
Experiment One, Bioshift, Elite Arcanist, Mycoloth, and a Master Biomancer are the cards you'll need. If you can think up a deck around it, I will gladly put some input on it.
