Rainbow Superfriends Suggestions
Commander Deck Help forum
Posted on June 14, 2017, 5:45 p.m. by PresidingDent
Hello, I am investing in making a 5 color superfriends commander deck. I plan on running 27 planeswalkers, and LOTS AND LOTS OF BOARDWIPES. Essentially, my opponents are not allowed to have creatures. Could I have suggestions for mainly other cards to go in this deck aside from walkers and boardwipes please? Thank you.

I am making 5 color superfriends right now. Some of the top other cards, depending on preference and play style:
The Chain Veil
Doubling Season is insane
Oath of Nissa
Mana fixing is huge, so on top of oath, cards like Chromatic Lantern, Prismatic Omen, etc.
I also use proliferation so Atraxa, Praetors' Voice, Contagion Engine and Contagion Clasp, Inexorable Tide, Viral Drake, Gilder Bairn.
Extra turns is another common option.
It really all depends on how you want to play.
If you go boardwipe route, you can always use Sliver Hivelord as the commander as well.

Definitely run Deepglow Skate and Deploy the Gatewatch.

Ah yes, I forgot Skate.
Also, to finish up creatures, I personally love Spike Weaver. Also, many suggest Crystalline Crawler.

For my rainbow super friends deck I have found it easier to have creatures than to deny my opponents any creatures. I have only 19 Planeswalkers, chosen carefully to offer at least one, hopefully two of the following: Card draw, Creature Tokens, Removal, Emblems, Ramp. For example, Freyalise, Llanowar's Fury fits because of tokens, ramp, removal, and card draw. Garruk, Apex Predator brings removal, tokens, and an emblem. Elspeth, Sun's Champion offers tokens, mass removal, and an emblem. Control-ish emblems like those on Dovin Baan, Jace, Unraveler of Secrets, or Narset Transcendent can be truly brutal with more than one in play.
As KIngWiggins mentioned, Proliferate is also helpful. Inexorable Tide is a beast. I also run Tezzeret's Gambit, Steady Progress, Spread the Sickness, Contagion Engine, and Atraxa, Praetors' Voice.
My main creature package is Allies, with General Tazri for a Commander. The Allies offer me mana dorks, card draw, beat sticks, artifact removal, and a couple of non-planeswalker win cons.

First, and most importantly, who will be the general of your deck?
