I've been playing a lot of pauper (compared to other MTG), and Gilder Barin is EASILY most my favorite general / deck. The deck is full of synergy and Simic is my favorite color combination. Also, you have a 1 card (ok well you need one of 15 enabliers also) infinite combo in the deck. Can you find it?
I'm really excited for gatecrash to give this deck so much more awesome. Also, the foil is one of the prettiest cards that has ever been made
One turn I made 50+ sapolings to win the game. It was pretty epic.
That's a pretty cool commander. Maybe I found some cards you might consider: Matsu-Tribe Sniper - can tap your commander or opponents creatures. Freed from the Real - Maybe I am blind but I think this is THE CARD for your deck!
What do you think about the Viridan Longbow?
How about a Whispersilk cloak to protect your commander and Hexproof creatures like Aven Fleetwing, Elgaud shieldmate, Primal Huntbeast, Silhana ledgewalker or Rubbleback rhino to place the counters?
Actually it can't tap the commander, Gilder Bairn doesn't have flying. Still potentially a good card but I reckon i'd want to stick to the "COUNTERS ON ALL THE THINGS!!!!" theme
Yup! Pentad Prism can get you infinite mana assuming you have enough mana to get it started and something that taps.
Freed from the real - An excellent card, but the issue is that it doesn't do anything besides tap Glider Barin (for which there are TONS of cards that do this) HOWEVER, it's going right into my geletrode deck!
Viridian Longbow - Also very good, probably better than freed from reel here, the ability to ping off little dudes is really powerful. I'm sad I forgot this, thanks!
Whispersilk Cloak / Elgaud Shildmate - I think I do need to add these, decks where the commander is important is really it's really hard to keep people from removing them in the long run

Also, Vigean Graftmage is uncommon so can't go in your 99.
What's the infinite combo? Trying to spot it is driving me mad I'm thinking it has something to do with Sporoloth Ancient???

Yep not seeing the combo there.. care to explain it?
EDIT: Ooooohhhh riiight you have to set it up so that Pentad Prism has 4+ counters on it. Plus some way to tap Gilder Bairn.
