Train them!
Excite them!
Arm them!
... Then turn them loose on the Nazis!
This was once my 5 colour, slow lands planeswalker deck! In the autumn of '23 it was trimmed down to 4 colours and Atraxa, Praetors' Voice took command! She took along a better land base, and lowered CMC from 4.6 -> to 3.5
I would love your feedback and suggestions on my choices
Lands
This is complicated. The multi-colors are an obvious choice, but the rest are a tough call.
I'd really prefer not to have etb tapped effects, in the deck, but also need dual fixing in all colors.
I've gone for the fetches, the fetchable trilands, and the shocklands. Basic land support is kind of weak, but I can't figure out how to fix this. So far, this is my best bed, without grabbing original duals out of other decks (may be the viable approach).
Walkers
Want to stay around 20, as these are the center piece of the deck. Also have a strong preference for -Max ability to be usable straight up given Doubling Season or Vorinclex, Monstrous Raider.
Game ending effects preferred (e.g. Ugin, the Spirit Dragon) and surviving the early game (e.g., Sorin, Lord of Innistrad). Since the design is kind of win hard, or die trying, I've avoided the cheaper walkers with static effects.
Walker support
Anything that will enhance my game plan
- Add counters (e.g., proliferate and extra counters)
- Improve activation cost (Carth the Lion)
- Multiple activations (The Chain Veil, Rings of Brighthearth, Oath of Teferi)
Tutors
I really want access to Doubling Season or Vorinclex, Monstrous Raider effects, so I'll pump a handfull of replacements in the deck to increase the odds
Control
Any serious deck should have some control. Current layout could use some work. Would like more board wipes and single spot removal. Need to fit in Path to Exile and Swords to Plowshares and more wipes. Would also be sane to run a suite of counter spells, but guess I can't have it all.
Utility
Primevals' Glorious Rebirth is a pretty nice recovery card. Not sure it's needed, but makes me feel good.
Ramp
It's EDH. 10 ramp minimum or go home. Want some fixing, and I'm short on non-fetches in my deck (blessing and a curse) so will run ramp that shifts the mana base slightly towards green. Not sure the current choices are correct, but I'm guessing it could work. Astral Cornucopia and Everflowing Chalice are too good to pass up on when working with doublers and proliferate, so they're in the mix. Wargate is there for its flexibility as a in-to-play tutor, but I'll not be shy to fetch a land early game.
Card advantage
Suite is a bit small, but somewhat "mitigated" by other cards and semi-expensive CMCs. Would like more, but not sure it's worth it?
Highlights and synergies
- Doubling Season & Vorinclex, Monstrous Raider: Planeswalkers enter the battlefield with double loyalty. Yes please. They do not work when paying loyalty for abilities
- The Chain Veil: Double up on all planeswalker abilities. Becomes extra silly with Teferi, Who Slows the Sunset
- Rings of Brighthearth: If planeswalker abilities are good, they become twice as good. Especially good with some of the emblems, like Tezzeret, Artifice Master, Teferi, Hero of Dominaria and Kaya the Inexorable
- Teferi, Temporal Archmage's -10: Activate planeswalker in your opponets turns for GG
- Tamiyo, the Moon Sage + Fierce Guardianship : GG
- Carth the Lion, Lae'zel, Vlaakith's Champion & Pir, Imaginative Rascal ads a lot of value and makes the walkers go ulti much faster.
... and lots more. Let's say Ugin, the Spirit Dragon is often something we want more than Doubling Season
Why the chosen planeswalkers?
I don't have a formula for how to select planeswalkers. I use common sense and identified combos. Even though Narset Transcendent's +1 is sort of meh, and -2 is almost useless in this deck, I'll play her for the off-chance of playing her with Doubling Season and -9 her straight away... because it is that good.
- Elspeth, Knight-Errant: Board state and excellent emblem
- Elspeth, Sun's Champion: Excellent board state, control and emblem
- Freyalise, Llanowar's Fury: Excellent board state and control. Meh ulti
- Garruk, Primal Hunter: Boardstate and draw. Green hippie love all over.
- Jace, Architect of Thought: Protection and draw. The ulti should often win you the game, if you know or can guess your opponents decks (say you cast Avacyn, Angel of Hope, Obliterate, and the whatever you feel like)
- Kaya the Inexorable: Excellent control. May put Atraxa to hand a couple of times. Sexy ulty.
- Narset Transcendent: Only here for the very good ulti
- Narset, Parter of Veils: Okay, here for the static ability. Can generate some card advantage.
- Oko, Thief of Crowns: Making good cards into elks all day. -5 can be used if needed.
- Sorin, Lord of Innistrad: Board state, emblem and control/steal. Fun one to use rings on.
- Tamiyo, Field Researcher: Control and draw are good, and ulti is Ancestral Recall + Omniscience. What is not to like?
- Tamiyo, the Moon Sage: Control, draw, and card advantage. She is a beauty!
- Teferi, Hero of Dominaria: Big bad control emblem, also pretty good draw.
- Teferi, Master of Time: Filter, control, and... let's take some extra turns. That really helps in a slow deck.
- Teferi, Temporal Archmage: +1 and -1 are good, but we are playing this guy for his ulti. Instead of playing your loyalty abilities at sorcery speed they become instant speed AND you get to use them four time per round instead of only once. Should be insta-win if you pull this off. All hail Teferi! Turns walkers into gods. Best played with Oath of Teferi
- Teferi, Time Raveler: Just here for the static ability. Can be used for control in a tight spot, or when having too much loyalty.
- Teferi, Who Slows the Sunset: Strong board and card advantage. -7 also work, but mainly adds card advantage in this deck.
- Tezzeret, Artifice Master: Fine defense, fine draw, very fine emblem that will get you rolling.
- Ugin, the Spirit Dragon: Boardstate and excellent ulti. Card advantage on steroids. Mainly here for the ulti, that will win you games.
- Vraska, Relic Seeker: defense, control, and better than Sorin TAKE THAT ulti.
Known weaknesses
- Mainly relies on Atraxa and Tokens for defense early game
- Could have more counter spells and board wipes.
All suggestions are welcome
- Can choice of walkers be improved?
- How I should improve my defense, and what should I cut?
- Please always suggest cuts when you make a suggestion
