I just have to build a Planeswalker deck around this guy. Activate ultimates the turn or turn after they come down would be SO fun!

Let's just keep this Simple.
Viridian Joiner
Primal Cocoon
Gilder Bairn


Or while we're at it, even better than the cocoon is Burst of Strength

Won't be long before this produces infinite mana

Love this guy. Alongside Paradise Mantle it becomes too easy to use his ability. Effectively 2: double counters on target permanent. That's dead sexy.

Due to the Paradise Mantle, I much prefer it in a Ux deck to a Gx deck (though UGx is also quite viable). I personally use Trinket Mage as my Paradise Mantle tutor-of-choice (given that, at worst, he becomes an expensive Birds of Paradise thanks to the mantle), and then include a few other cards that are typically fine or good on their own, but can do absurd things with counter doubling. Planeswalkers, for example, and Primordial Hydra. Also include a couple storage lands (like Calciform Pools) as they can eventually provide infinite mana if they get enough starting counters on them.

Actually, now that I think about it, UGx would be a great way to go. Fauna Shaman to grab both the Trinket Mage and Gilder Bairn, and then to find whatever creature/s you want to abuse counters with.

And then the little guy grew up, lost the ability to give counters to planeswalkers and enchantments, and became Vorel of the Hull Clade.

Maybe one day a set will have tribal ouphes. I like unusual creature types that haven't been beaten to death: the phoenix, archon, rhox, etc they need more, and lords. Speaking of more, devils are getting a little love, not much, however.
