Deck Description

Counters w/ multipliers are the primary drive behind it, with a splash of tokens for sacrifice.

Plenty of token creatures to be destroyed by Crovax then multiplying all counters on creatures when applicable; and delaying any Vanish creatures by 2x the time (for example Waning Wurm for only 4 mana @ 7/6 *nasty*). The chance for +6/+6, +12/+12, +24/+24 or +48/+48 Mindwarpers & Discordant Dirge w/ Doubling make for fast discard to slow 'em down as well. Cannibalize's multiplied counters sacrificing bats makes a nice buff system too.

Tried working a good combo here. Keep multiplying the Skeletal Vampire's bat tokens by sacrificing them, then use Tar Fiend to Devour mass numbers which multiplies 2x, then pull a Spike Cannibal for another 2x from Doubling Season; all while walling yourself in w/ WoS. GG. Even the side-board can make a sick addition utilizing the 2x/4x/6x/8x counters w/ life Gain & the only card in Magic that has Devour 3.

Let me know what ya'll think!

NIce tricks in there man, I'd squeeze in fallen angel's to eat your tokens and put the new token craziness of M11 (Mitotic Slime) in there. Maybe add Attrition in there for creature control.

If you were to pay just 5 extra mana on "Maga, Traitor to Mortals" with 2x Doubling season you're lookin' @ 20, +1/+1 counters, that's 20 life down the drain. ;P

I really like this deck, mainly for the Midnight Banshee as that is just an awesome ability. Slowly killing all non-black creatures that way is epic and if they finally kill Midnight Banshee, the counters stay. An Idea, with waning worm, if you have a it in a black blue deck, you could unsummon it before you have to sacrifice it, you get to keep it for another turn. Anyways, nice deck but I'm not sure what to give it for a rating.
