Liliana's Scrounger great for all the planeswalkers and removal

Liliana's Scorn bad removal but also works as a tutor

Liliana's Elite weak but gets stronger with graveyard

I actually had, like, one or two if you're still interested in proliferation and/or artificially upping your main commander's loyalty.

Karn's Bastion

Contagion Clasp

Contagion Engine

Settle the Score

The Elderspell

Granted, these options aren't the one man swiss army knife that Yawgmoth is, but they are more in line with your budget at least.

SleeplessPr1nce on Crazy Cat Lady | Jeska + Falthis EDH

I love interesting partner combos, and this one is really clever. Have you considered Temur Battle Rage? You also might like Settle the Score for Jeska. It's a little slow at sorcery speed but sometimes it's nice to be able to just exile something outright.

You might also consider Rise of the Dark Realms as a backup wincon, since you'll probably be killing a lot of creatures with this setup.

Update:

• Nevinyrral's Disk > out for > Whelming Wave

• Spread the Sickness > out for > Slaughter Pact

• Settle the Score > out for > Ral Zarek

• Solemn Simulacrum > out for > Teferi, Temporal Archmage

Considering:

• still think chromatic lantern might be good, should probably run over commander’s sphere

Thanks both for all the input so far!

I see the upside on familiar, it just doesn’t make up for its downsides IMO.

Cuts I’m looking at:

• Spread the Sickness

• Settle the Score

• Commander's Sphere

• Solemn Simulacrum

• Nevinyrral's Disk

Possible adds

• Slaughter Pact (for a second tempo spell: Rapid Hybridization probably, but isn’t there a better cheap black removal spell so we don’t need to run these blue 3/3 makers? Fatal push and tragic slip are too narrow right?)

• Whelming Wave / AEtherize / Blasphemous Act

• Talisman of Indulgence

• Ral Zarek

• Teferi, Temporal Archmage

Honestly the only 3 cmc rock I'd run for "power reasons" would be Coalition Relic and even then only if my CMDR is at 5 cmc. There is more to a deck than plain "this is better than that".

On the proliferate removal: it really feels like a downtrade and huge tempoloss at a table of 4 people, when you remove one single creature for one or two loyalty on a planeswalker, when tempo is the most important constant you need to get something out of your walkers. If you are reaping the desired benefits from those cards you probably already are winning. Coming back to Force of Despair: give it a try. At worst it is a better Settle the Score for one cheaper and at instant speed (more tempo for you ;) ) and at best it protects your walkers for a whole turncycle from being killed by creatures, which is what superfriends should be looking to do I'd guess.

Alright Pyrra and TriusMalarky, let’s settle down now. You’re both entitled to opinions, it’s all good.

Instead let’s focus instead on what to add as additional pws, i’m sure you can both help me in that regard.

I also consider Deepglow Skate a great way to “win”. Any pws on board can pop their ult. Even better: if i drop Jace, Architect of Thought and skate i get to steal any wincons from my opponents as well.

Do you both agree to 37 for land count btw? I see a lot of decks with less but it seems greedy to me.

Also curious to your thoughts on the weaker proliferate cards in here. Spread the Sickness, Contentious Plan, Settle the Score etc are not amazing and rather slow.

@CaptainToll

Thanks :) I’m not sure about the familiar, it only contributes colorless mana in a deck that’s color-hungry, though it does so for every spell, which is nice. I’m afraid it would usually just be a chumper or something

Let me know your thoughts :)

Savage1988 on Bolas superfriends list needs some …

4 years ago

Hey all,

Bolas's Pro-Life Superfriends is my first attempt at:

• grixis

• proliferation

• and planeswalkers in edh

Initially i thought of going Bolas Tribal (hence the commander) because i got a japanese prerelease promo of Nicol Bolas, Dragon-God while on holiday in Tokyo, which i obviously really wanted to build something with. Piece by piece i adjusted the list to be a little more synergistic instead of a theme-deck until it looked like the list below. Very little Bolas left, but probably something that can sometimes hold its own. Still very casual, but I think fun for a while. I think it should work but i haven't played a game yet.

Any feedback and tales from experience from my fellow T/Oers is much appreciated on any of the deck's pieces.

Some questions i have are:

• Is this enough walkers? Which others should I run?

• Maybe replace nev’s disk because it kills all my artifacts? With what though?

• Should i run the weaker proliferate cards just for proliferation or are they just too bad to run? I'm pretty convinced Tezzeret's Gambit is good enough. I'm mostly looking at you Contentious Plan Spread the Sickness Settle the Score Fuel for the Cause

• If those are in fact good enough, perhaps Volt Charge is too?

• should i run Crypt of the Eternals, Interplanar Beacon, MDFC lands from zendikar rising? Any other lands I'm missing (that aren't > $10/each)

The list:
