Atraxa - Planeswalkers-Poison-Proliferate-Turns

Resourceful Defense is a cool card, and I've considered putting it in, but ultumately I think it's too defensive and slow. The Ozolith effect is only relevant when a Planeswaller dies with counters on it, which would really only be from targeted removal... This is very conditional, and depends on me losing to work.
The second ability would be more why I would put this card in, but it's expensive, and compared to cheaper or free Proliferate effects, and cards like Vorinclex, Monstrous Raider, Pir, Imaginative Rascal, and Ajani Unyielding are way more powerful for the mana cost.
Resourceful Defense costs three mana to not really do anything when it enters, then another five mana to reduce the loyalty of a Planeswalker. I think it's just not worth the mana cost for the effects when I can just proliferate or use better cards.
I'm currently editing the explanation of the deck as it's changed a lot with so many new relevant cards. I'll include notable exclusions as a spoiler. For example, a card I squeezed out recently is Inexorable Tide, which is awesome and super powerful, but in trying to make the deck faster and more resilient, I wanted to make room for cheaper cards. I would put Inexorable Tide back in before I put Reaourceful Defence in.
But it is a cool card, and I wish it was more effective. Thanks for the suggestion!

List looks good, the only thing I would say is that it's a bit light on creature removal. As far as good budget creature removal is concerned, Bant Charm, Reality Shift and Declaration in Stone are all decent options. Ajani Unyielding is also decent (albeit high CMC) removal on a stick with the added bonus of card advantage.
Since you don't really run much in the way of graveyard recursion, something like Moorland Haunt might also give you some additional value.

There's also 38 cards in the game with "Proliferate" on them, like Evolution Sage, which can all put one loyalty counter on every planeswalker you control.
I'd say Ajani Unyielding's -2 is more of a Swords to Plowshares than a Path to Exile.

Lae'Zel Master Chef +1/+1 counters

These are my recommended cuts-
Ajani Unyielding, Elite Scaleguard, Elite Scaleguard, Herald of War, Kyler, Sigardian Emissary, Sigarda, Heron's Grace, and Heron's Grace Champion.
Look for cards that cost 3 CMC or less to add. Good-Fortune Unicorn like KBK7101 said is solid. If you can get your average CMC to about 3 you should find the deck generally runs pretty quick. Try to keep the strategy synergistic and short too. You want creatures with +1/+1 counters so things that enter that way will be strongest for you.

See, the problem with specifically me suggesting cuts is that you and I seem to have much different playstyles. I am not big on Planeswalkers and like to keep my mana curve super low to the ground, especially with a mana hungry commander like Marath. I can tell you about objectively strong cards for your mana base though, and I tried to just do that.
If I were pressed and had to make suggestions; for just the first four sorceries I would say both 6-mana Ajanis, a basic Forest, and a basic Plains. For all 12 of my suggestions and in descending order from first card cut to last so that you can take any number and have my suggestions for cuts:
Many of these other cuts are also ramp, but that is because your Land+Ramp number is pretty close to what I like after cutting the two Ajanis. Going with sorceries and artifacts will protect you a little better from sweepers since your mana base will be able to survive a Wrath of God and you would be more likely to be able to recover. The artifacts will still leave you weak to Austere Command, but you are less likely to be collateral damage.
Another switch I would just make straight up is Archetype of Aggression in for Aggressive Mammoth in keeping with me liking to keep a mana curve lower.
