    Atraxa Superfriends

    In an attempt not to clutter up Ace/Homebrew's 5c Cromat PW deck, I decided to branch off my own and follow the same format of their post and update style. Front page will always have most up to date list. I chose Atraxa as the commander because I had her (?) and because I felt like making a PW-centric deck. While the proliferate synergy is pretty obvious, being cut off red eliminates a lot of choices. Without further ado, here is the list, and hopefully Ace doesn't mind me stealing the template:

    38 Lands

    21 Planeswalkers
    These are the Super Friends. Only one of each planeswalker type allowed (Taking that stipulation from Ace. I like it).

    41 Other Cards

    The General


    Couple quick notes while I save some space for other inclusions. This is a pillow fort deck that hopes to get walkers out after some stabilizing. My initial criteria for my walker's were that they must provide card advantage on the turn they come into play with the assumption that they would be HUGE targets for removal. So drawing a card, killing a creature, or negating a creature in play (in Kiora's case) were required. Once the board is stabilized, the deck moves to a "turns" deck to go for either kills via emblems or just Atraxa damage. I don't always cast Atraxa and I'm still trying to figure out the sequence if Atraxa first or PW first but I'm still learning here.

    Also, I don't have duals or enemy fetches, so its pseudo-budget (as much as a nearly all rare/mythic deck can be anyway). But aside from the big money cards, I am open to suggestions. I would like to have the deck have more to do in the early turns, but the mana ramp is there to help speed that up a bit. The Astral Cornucopia and Everflowing chalice are there to take advantage of proliferating, and the honor-worn is there to turn the PW in to mana dorks. Seems to be a little win-more, but sometimes even having the 2 extra mana works well.

    Big problem this deck has are Haste creatures and, as mentioned in the Cromax thread, a Vampire Hexmage that gets recurred from Meren. There just aren't PWs that interact with the graveyard yet that I can find. I may bring in a Bojuka Bog for that, but I'll leave it open for some comments.

    Thanks in advance.

    First changes that I didn't realize I needed to make were additional allied fetches and better, lower cost wraths. Will update when the changes are made.

    Hey ronco! Looks good in here.

    My first thought is 'Needs more Doubling Season!' Things get out of hand for your opponents quickly when you proliferate with DS out.

    Scavenging Ooze might be worth it if Meren/Hexmage are a big factor!

    Edit - Perhaps Shalai, Voice of Plenty is better?

    Good call on the shalai! That one completely slipped my mind. Scooze was in the original build (+1/+1 counters can be proliferated), as was DRS as a mana dork, but i found that i had too many wrath effects and it ended up kind of battling myself with it. Maybe I need to rethink it for that matchup. Also, you have a MUCH higher PW density than I do (33 vs 20). Part of that is you are in red but if I am going to try and push through Genesis wave type cards for 8, i want to make them count.

    Doubling season is "on the list" to get. I forgot to get it on my most recent TCG order, so that will get in eventually. Also hoping it comes down a little bit in price from battlebond, but I think people forgot about that set already. I might pick up some of those lands too to swap out for my ETB tapped tri lands. We'll see.

    I just kind of threw cards together for this and the layout here like you had really opened up my eyes to some holes/redundancies, so just putting it in this format is pretty helpful already! I'm pretty new to EDH so I'm not used to deck building this way.
