Massive Update - WAR —May 14, 2019
I've totally reevaluated my deck from the ground up and makes some massive changes and direction. The following are the changes:
- Updated and cleaned up the primer
- Removed some low impact/value walkers, removals, and lands for higher impact ones
- I've added Liliana, Dreadhorde General, Narset, Parter of Veils, Ugin, the Ineffable, Jace, the Mind Sculptor, Jace, Unraveler of Secrets for my new walkers collection
- I've added Black Sun's Zenith and Terminus for additional boardwipe
- I've added Smothering Tithe and Rhystic Study for additional ramp and draw
- I've added The Elderspell and Planewide Celebration for the surprise emblem/ultimate factor
- I've added Interplanar Beacon and Karn's Bastion for walker-centric lands

Hey man, super cool List, probably one of the most finely tuned superfriends builds i've seen so far. Love the staff-combo!
Do you have a verdict on Settle the Score yet? It felt too clunky in my list, and that is significantly less cutthroat than yours. Would be interested in hearing your opinion.
Any thoughts on Aminatou, the Fateshifter in superfriends? Her flicker is so much better than Venser's. I could see her other two abilities pushing her out of consideration though.
Lastly, isn't Gilded Lotus a bit slow in this list? 5 mana seems like a lot to still be ramping.

MillersEdge: I love Settle the Score, although it's clunky, adding two counters to potentially ultimate a non-threatening walker is too good to pass on. I think Aminatou would be a good walker to test out. Gilded lotus is here as part of the infinite chain veil combo but I might have to rethink my mana rocks and do another massive revamp in the next couple of months. Thanks for your feedback and sorry for the super duper late reply!

Well Enral, can we expect a huge update change for this deck once War of the Spark is fully spoiled? I mean, even the basic lands are a flavour win for this deck.
Some cards that are probably going in already.
- Ignite the Beacon
4W Instant Search your library for up to two planeswalker cards, reveal them, put them into your hand, then shuffle your library.
- Tezzeret, Master of the Bridge
4UB Legendary Planeswalker - Tezzeret Creature and planeswalker spells you cast have affinity for artifacts.
[+2]: Tezzeret, Master of the Bridge deals X damage to each opponent, where X is the number of artifacts you control. You gain X life.
[-3]: Return target artifact card from your graveyard to your hand.
[-8]: Exile the top ten cards of your library. Put all artifact cards from among them onto the battlefield.
- Interplanar Beacon
Land Whenever you cast a planeswalker spell, you gain 1 life.
T: Add 1.
1, T: Add two mana of different colors. Spend this mana only to cast planeswalker spells.
- Emergence Zone
Land T: Add 1.
1, T, Sacrifice Emergence Zone: You may cast spells this turn as thought they had flash. *New commander staple

Odysseus_97: Definitely. There's going to be some major revamp and update coming up the moment all of the cards for WAR are spoiled.

Please come out of hiding, there are many amazing new walkers, proliferate re-errata, and support cards for aatraxa. Please bestow us with your knowledge senpai!

I have an Atraxa superfriends deck too, and I'm kind of coflicted on whether or not I make the deck 5 colour or not. The new Nicol Bolas looks very fun and powerful to play in a superfriends deck.
The problem for me is this might be a bit overkill going for my third, 5 colour edh deck.
April 1, 2019 12:51 p.m.
_Delta_: RIGHT?! The struggle is real. The new Bolas is so good in superfriends but I think I'm just gonna stick to Atraxa till an awesome 5 color superfriends commander is out. The new Bolas will go into my Nicol Bolas discard tribal for now.

What do you think of Divine Visitation its kinda slow but my biggest gripe when playing superfriends is flyers killing my planeswalkers and this turns all our token producers into actual threats with vigilance. On that note, Serra the Benevolent might make it into my build too.

Enral, some thoughts for you after building your deck and tweaking it for my meta/taste. Your Deepglow Staff line can be reduced down to Doubling Season , Tamiyo, the Moon Sage , Ugin, the Spirit Dragon , Teferi, Hero of Dominaria , Jace, Architect of Thought , and 5 cards of your choice to draw with Ugin.
With this you can cast and emblem Teferi infinite times and then once more to draw a card and exile all opponent's permanents. Then if they don't concede you can cast and ultimate Jace infinite times to play everything out of everyone's decks.
It ultimately achieves the same thing but for me I decided to cut Sensei's Divining Top and Basalt Monolith to add some other cards in.

Patryn, wouldn't this line require Tamiyo, Field Researcher's emblem to fire?
April 19, 2019 11:40 a.m.
Yeah you need her, deepglow skate, and Proteus staff to start.

Due to the interesting new creatures I'm playing with the idea of running some combination of these cards Glittering Wish Living Wish Mastermind's Acquisition to have access to creatures other than Deepglow Skate
Keep in mind that my meta is mostly 70-80% and the fastest deck besides Captain Sissay that I see is Hermit Druid which isn't a fan of my removal. He tends to try to wait for others to bait my exiles before going off
Worst case scenario I take the wishes out because of a lack of good enough creatures to run. Riftsweeper alone is pretty compelling for at least one low cost wish. Though

Thoughts on Heart of Kiran ? It isn't a creature while in deck so it doesn't mess with Proteus Staff, and can provide additional protection early on before you get your combos going.

Divine Visitation strictly isn't good here, but . . . I feel like I want to try it anyway?
