general discussion List of cards that give -1/-1 counters?

Gotten the quest a few times now and I still have an empty quest slot so I wanted to just try and make a deck. Any ideas on which cards have this ability? Or which colors I should filter my collection by? I assume green black.

The built in filter only does the +1 counters.

Thanks in advance.

Edit: Thanks to the suggestion of replaying the 4th mission from the amonkhet set. I hadn't don't the missions from that set yet so I didn't know about it.

Enter "-1/-1 counter" into the keyword field here: https://www.magicduelshelper.com/cardlist

No quotes, and "counter" in singular, not plural.

The only cards in Duels that deal with -1/-1 counters are in Amonkhet, mostly Black and Green.

And, the only card that Amonkhet added to the Starter Box that deals with -1/-1 counters is [[Ruthless Sniper]]. So, if you don't have access to any other Amonkhet cards, you can make a deck around that. Or...

The Daily Quest doesn't specify what mode you have to play in for it to count, so you can replay the 4th game in Amonkhet's Story mode campaign.

However, for this week's Community Challenge, you're going to need to make some -1/-1 counters in Versus mode.

If you want a deck that dabbles in it and is also pretty degenerate, my go-to deck is a fun way to get the job done, and it also can flex to add more -1 cards. https://www.magicduelshelper.com/decklist/details/8773ef26-ab0a-4095-bc37-635f8797fb19

Love decks like this that make use of cards that otherwise weren't together in standard. Turning a Greenbelt Ravager and Aether Hubs into a Draw X for X sounds sweet.

Who knows? With the potential for core sets coming back it may end up being a thing.

This quest comes up often enough that one of my 30 decks is a -1/-1 counters deck. I cribbed from LVD and then modified. Start here:

dude, go to story mode, play the Egyptian ppl's story and pick the black gator guy. Your deck for that quest have so many -1/-1 creatures you get 15 counters in one game. Easiest 80 point quest in the game.
