All the artifact/enchantment removal is because the only three decks this will be going up against are geist and sisay equipment decks, and my own oloro pillowfort deck.

No Conjurer's Closet? You have quite a few "enter the battlefield" effects it could abuse, it's a way to trigger evolve multiple times or refresh graft, etc. Especially if you're running Peregrine DrakeAqueous Form seems way too prone to just resulting in a two-for-one when someone Murders the creature. Whispersilk Cloak would give unblockable on top of Hexproof, and if the creature gets killed it hangs around for the next creature.Spike Weaver would give you unlimited fogs.Both Beastmaster Ascension and Archmage Ascension could get cheated into hitting their counter limit quick with Vorel.Both Pongify and especially Beast Within seem better than Snakeform.Fuel for the Cause is nice. Counter a spell AND add more counters.Inexorable Tide; make your spells add free counters passively.I'd run Deglamer over Naturalize because it'll get rid of Theros Gods, Darksteel stuff, things protected by Avacyn, etc.

I like the idea behind this deck. +1/+1 counters with two alt win cons? Great! There's just a few things I would change in the deck.I would take out Khalni Hydra as it doesn't involve +1/+1 counters, and I understand that you have a ton of creatures that are green, but it's sole green mana cost throws me off it's band wagon. Next, I would replace Voyaging Satyr and Simic Sky Swallower for something that benefits +1/+1 counters in some way. Get something that produces any colour mana or a thran dynamo rather than having a creature that can untap a single land. Sky Swallower has shroud basically, so you can't give it counters very easily unless you have master biomancer out, which is 1 card in a 99 card deck. Instead, I would get Experiment Kraj since he just gives out +1/+1 counters and benefits greatly from them. Farseek is fairly useless unless you wanted to grab an island or breeding pool. A rampant growth would be better in my opinion. Sprouting Phytohydra isn't a bad card, but I don't see why it's in this deck. If this was a Selesnya populate deck, the hell yeah, but this is a Simic +1/+1 counter deck, so I don't see it helping you too much. I would take out both Arbor elf and Bane of Progress. Bane of Progress could actually hurt you more then help you. Destroying Helix Pinnacle and your mana generators. Arbor elf only untaps a forest, when a Llanawor Elf taps for green. Omath could be taken out as well, as he only allows green mana not be emptied from your pool and he would become a huge target, extremely quickly. Also, he doesn't get +1/+1 counters, merely +1/+1 for each green mana in your pool. Better in a mono green with an ungodly amount of mana elves. Biomass Mutation isn't extremely helpful. I think I know why it's in the deck, but I think things that give +1/+1 counters would be of better use to you.Lastly, I agree with everything the user above me has said. Fuel for the Cause instead of Plasm Capture. Inexorable Tide is great. Beastmaster and Archmage ascension would be gone before you could use them, but I think it's a great diversion from what you're actually trying to double, (cough darksteel forge cough). And since you have nothing that inflicts 1 damage to something, beast within and pongify are great cards to throw in this deck.
For starters, this was supposed to be a hydra/vorel commander deck. Which is why the hydras with no counters are in here. I don't feel Conjurer's Closet would do well here with the counters. As for the Ascensions, vorel can't double them so they'd be "slower" to activate. Whispersilk Cloak I do agree with. Fuel for the Cause will probably take captures place. Arbor elf, Satyr and Sky Swallower are in here because I have them, though I would probably swap out Sky Swallower for Experiment Kraj. Bane of Progress is here because the only 3 decks this deck will be going up against atm is my own oloro deck, and 2 decks that use all but one of the swords. I'm not too concerned if I have to blow up pinnacle or doubling season when I'm getting smacked by giest or crusader with swords equipped to them. Farseeks getting swapped for skyward claim or whatever it is. Omnath just lets me dump unused mana into like pinnacle or a hydra. Snakeform is here because I find it to be hilarious, plus you get a draw.
On the rest of it, if you have any suggestions for +1/+1 counters, I'd love to hear them. Thanks for the comments.
Just updated it.
Actually thinking of taking this either rug and just using progenitus as the commander, or bug and using varosh, the hunter or whatever it is.
Vrosh is fun. If you're going to make it a tri-colour +1/+1 counter deck, then I would highly recommend him or Mimeoplasm. Both are fun for what they do.
I've been trying to lay it out on here, haven't gotten very far yet though..
I love it! Thanks for sending me to it! Now you need to check out my simic deck. Haha! :)
Thanks, any thoughts? Post the link and I'll have a look.
The only card that I think shouldn't be in here is the bane of progress. It is kind of anti-productive because of all of your non-indestructible artifacts and enchantments. Maybe Sideboard it. And I'm thinking that you need a chimeric mass and a eternity vessel and maybe a sol ring and kiora. Otherwise, looks great. :)
I have sol ring and banes reasoning is in the description. You can't sb in edh lol. I do like the other suggestions though.
Yeah, sorry, I didn't even know that you can't sideboard. Great deck! :)
This is good one. You figured out to abuse artifacts too, while I didn't.Absolutely worth of +1 like.
Yeah most of those are pretty cheap too so they'd fit into your budget build. I'm gonna make a request, would you be willing to attempt an oloro build? Budget of course. Idc really on how you tackle the task, if you're interested, but I'm a big fan of the pillowfort idea, which I'm currently assembling, but the aggro approach is pretty fun as well. I'll post the links to my builds, but they're not budget at all really..http://www.mtgvault.com/dharr16/decks/esper-swords-edh/http://www.mtgvault.com/dharr16/decks/oloros-pillowfort-edh-2/
I can try Oloro out, but I hope that doesn't become too much like the EDH "In Vampire's Suck" -deck that I created before.
Made the deck.Look for a deck named: "Budget EDH: Oloro"It is a bit more artifact-based than drain-based, but I hope that's okay.
It's fine, the other two commander choices that come in the actual deck are based more around artifacts anyways. I'll take a look in a few, thanks for the attempt.
2 cards i think you should add. one forgotten ancient and two psychosis crawler. other then that the deck is solid
