Deck discussion for Vorel, Simic Lord

IMO you need to pick a direction, either small evasive stuff with Edric to draw cards, or counter shenanigans with Vorel. Splitting between the two will cause some frustrating games.

your deck description combo isnt worth a damn sadly. putting a +1 counter on the archmage wont get rid of the -1 counter on it, so persist will only work once. you need something that straight-up removes the counter for it to work like you are wanting it too

-1/-1 counters and +1/+1 counters wash each other out:

"121.2. If a permanent has both a +1/+1 counter and a -1/-1 counter on it, N +1/+1 and N -1/-1 counters
are removed from it as a state-based action, where N is the smaller of the number of +1/+1 and -1/-1
counters on it. See rule 704. "

That said, I think the deck needs to pick a focus or it's going to spend too many games with Edric out and no creatures that make it easy to draw cards, or counter guys in play with nothing to do interesting with them.

Lurking Predators would be great with that many creatures. In a 4-player game even if everyone just casts one spell per turn it's going to get you 1-2 creatures for free every round absolute worst case.
