I build this deck for playing Emperor(3 vs 3). The idea is to make your allie's creatures bigger with support spells like Relief Captain, Jubilant Mascot, or Generous Patron and let them survive longer with Axis of Mortality, Soul Conduit and Arbiter of Knollridge.

In this deck you are winning with cards like Azor's Elocutors ,Simic Ascendancy, Mechanized Production and Felidar Sovereign. But because it's Atraxa I got the cards Ichor Rats and Caress of Phyrexia so I can kill my opponents with infect, too. But most of the counter WinCons need time so to speed this a little bit up I got more proliferating cards like Contagion Clasp, Evolution Sage and Doubling Season.

An important Card is the Generous Patron because it's a lot of card draw exspecically with proliferating, and in Emporor I dont even have to make my opponents creatures bigger.

But because these are just a few in a hundred cards i got some tutors like Scheming Symmetry which is another card that can help you and your teammates.

If you are playing normal 1v1v1v1 Commander you should do politics so you try to use your opponents as a weapon against other players and try to survive long enouth to use your WinCon. So make deals and if another player would die you could instead safe him with Soul Conduit so he helps you against the others.

I got a lot of different lands so I use Field of the Dead for Token Generation so i have blockers. A Card that helps to make token blockers is Primal Vigor I know that Parallel Lifes would be better because it doesnt help my Opponents but I used it so I put more Counters on my allied creatures too.

But all these Cards can be removed so I got Academy Ruins, Hall of Heliod's Generosity, Volrath's Stronghold and Meren of Clan Nel Toth
