I decided to build a deck around the Scars of Mirrodin Block mechanic "Proliferate". As other mechanics, I picked the following things that work well with profilerate:
- Infect
- Modular
- Charge Counters
I decided to make the deck green-blue-black, mostly with those mechanics, then a few things to give my things with mucho counters trample, and a few search and destroy spells cuz it's what the format demands. There aren't much for legends in those colors, so I went with Vorosh, the Hunter  as my commander Here's the rest: Lands (36)
6 Forest 6 Island 6 Swamp Academy Ruins  Bayou  Command Tower  Darkslick Shores  Flooded Grove  Gaea's Cradle  Hinterland Harbor  Llanowar Reborn  Mirrodin's Core  Mishra's Workshop  Sunken Ruins  Tropical Island  Twilight Mire  Underground Sea  Vivid Creek  Vivid Grove  Vivid Marsh  Woodland Cemetery  Creatures (35)
Blighted Agent  Blightwidow  Cytoplast Root-Kin  Damia, Sage of Stone  Flensermite  Forgotten Ancient  Fungal Behemoth  Glissa, the Traitor  Hand of the Praetors  Ichor Rats  Mephidross Vampire  Phyrexian Hydra  Simic Guildmage  Skithiryx, the Blight Dragon  Skullbriar, the Walking Grave  Vedalken Engineer  Vigor  Viral Drake  Viridian Corrupter  Artifact Creatures Arcbound Bruiser  Arcbound Crusher  Arcbound Fiend  Arcbound Hybrid  Arcbound Overseer  Arcbound Slith  Arcbound Stinger  Arcbound Worker  Blightsteel Colossus  Core Prowler  Corpse Cur  Pentavus  Plague Myr  Steel Overseer  Other Stuff (28)
Corrupted Conscience  Cultivate  Defense of the Heart  Diabolic Tutor  Doom Blade  Doubling Season  Dragon Fangs  Fabricate  Fuel for the Cause  Grim Affliction  Inexorable Tide  Primal Rage  Slice in Twain  Snake Cult Initiation  Spread the Sickness  Steady Progress  Tezzeret's Gambit  Titania's Boon  Artifacts Akroma's Memorial  Banshee's Blade  Chromatic Lantern  Clearwater Goblet  Contagion Clasp  Contagion Engine  Darksteel Reactor  Gemstone Array  Heliophial  Infused Arrows  So, what do you guys think?

Corpsejack Menace  wants to be here. So does Experiment Kraj  . So does Fertilid  . I'm not liking the small Infect creatures, including Blightwidow . I know it's part of your theme and all, but poison counters in EDH tend to get you hated on. Maybe that doesn't happen in your meta,but I'd rather see the creatures above or maybe Aquastrand Spider  if you are desperate for Reach.

It doesn't matter in a duel. In multiplayer, getting hated equates to getting teamed up on. It's a lot harder to win that way. For what it's worth, the Wither mechanic doesn't draw that hate, because it doesn't cut player's life totals by 30. Using poison counters is like plopping down Sorin Markov  and immediately using his second power on every other player. If it took twice the number of poison counters as a regular game (since you have double lives), I don't think people would hate on it so much. You'll understand what I mean when someone uses Bribery  or Gather Specimens  on your Blightsteel Colossus . For -1/-1 counters, I'm a big fan of Black Sun's Zenith  . Unfortunately it hits your creatures, but it gets around Shroud/Hexproof. Incremental Blight  can also be good, especially with a lot of Proliferate effects in your deck.

When you're proliferating +1/+1 conters and have Mephidross Vampire already, Triskelion  is a shoe in.

Gilder Bairn  lets you double those +1/+1 counters repeatedly. Enjoy!
Clever deduction Watson! Maybe you can explain why Supergirl is trying to kill me.

Black Sun's Zenith wouldn't be too bad if you have enough +1/+1 counters already on your creatures, and packing in Melira, Sylvok Outcast  can also take some bite out of its negative effect on your own board. And I guess she makes a Bribery ed Blightsteel Colossus just big, trampley, and indestructible instead of Infected also...if that would be any consolation...
If I'm right, I'm right. If I'm wrong, I still believe I'm right. Think of it as religion. dubito ergo sum.

I think the arc bound dudes might be better as persist creatures.
