Description of deck by its author (quoted):
If ever there was a card that was made for Gilder Bairn, it's Coral Reef. Not only is it a permanent that comes into play with counters and can redistribute those counters to other creatures, but it also provides a handy tap outlet for your Gilder Bairns. What can you possibly use polyp counters for, you ask? Well, for starters, you simply buff up the backsides of your creatures. Like I always say, a 1/4 Gilder Bairn is better than a 1/3 Gilder Bairn. Those +0/+1 counters can turn certain creatures into face-smashing monsters if you can somehow switch their power and toughness (Thanks, layer 6e!). Your polyp-enhanced Aquamoebas and Turtleshell Changelings will become serious threats if they can get through unblocked.

That's where Kulrath Knight and Horobi, Death's Wail come in. Since you can put polyp counters on opposing creatures as well as your own, you can use Coral Reef to slowly pacify your opponent's entire army with Kulrath Knight or simply destroy everything in your path with Horobi, Death's Wail. Gilder Bairn itself can be used to kill creatures with Horobi on the board.
