Atraxa taking full advantage of proliferate without going full super-friends.

Plan A is to go wide with small creatures that get bigger over time. With a small amount of effort, Atraxa easily becomes a three turn clock so general damage is our Plan B. Plan C is ultimating a planeswalker. The planeswalkers in the deck are strictly the cheapest walkers I could find that either generate card advantage or support +1/+1 counters. They all can ultimate after only a few proliferate triggers over a couple turns. Planeswalker + Deepglow Skate in a turn can become a win out of nowhere from an empty board. Of course this strategy is much stronger in dedicated superfriends decks so this is just Plan C.

Wraths wreck this deck so I've included some cards to help it rebuild like Greenwarden of Murasa and Den Protector. I've been considering Heroic Intervention and Teferi's Protection as additional hedges against wraths but I'm wary of drawing these instead of creatures when I need them.

There is also a random infinite combo that can be assembled but it requires several pieces. Cathars' Crusade + Crystalline Crawler + Ghave, Guru of Spores + a counter doubler (of which there are three in the deck) makes infinite +1/+1 counters and infinite mana. This is not something the deck plans to do but it is nice to have this as a win condition after you've drawn most of your deck with the Fathom Mage that sticks around for too long.

In the maybeboard is an infinite combo that I'm torn about. Cryptolith Rite + Gilder Bairn + Training Grounds gives all permanents infinite counters. This is obviously great for the deck but I'm still debating the power level of it for my playgroup.

Possible cuts: Ajani Unyielding, Mirrorweave, Spike Feeder, Inexorable Tide, Genesis Hydra, Orzhov Advokist, Citadel Siege
