This is a fairly simple Battlecruiser deck. Buff up your creatures with +1/+1 counters and keep swinging until you're the only one left.

You're going to want to play Master Chef on turn 3, followed by Lae'zel, Vlaakith's Champion on Turn 4. Turn 1 Sol Ring is ideal. Getting them both out should be your top priority as this is the core engine for the deck.

Then bring out as many creatures as you can, most of which either give more +1/+1 counters, benefit from gaining +1/+1 counters or are big tramplers. We also have access to a good amount of draw, ramp and removal to support.

I try to keep every card under $2 where possible, but there are some more valuable cards in this deck that I have been able to acquire. The maybeboard includes cards I would like to add, but do not own, including cards that are out of budget.
