Hi all!

I got a smokin' deal on a Breed Lethality deck and wanted to try and build on it. I know Atraxa is great for Superfriends decks, counter decks, and infect decks, but I didn't want to be overly toxic to the people I play with, so I went with a main theme of counters.

So far, I'm rather proud of the Glen Elendra Archmage and the Odric, Lunarch Marshal , but I am curious if there's anything else I should add/remove. I picked up Eldrazi Monument and Akroma's Memorial off a friend and tossed them in for fun. The high mana cost of Akroma's is a little bit of a turn off, but with Mirari's Wake maybe it'll be ok?

Please be gentle, this is my first foray into changing precons.

Update 06/05/2021

Added 5 new planeswalkers to help with controlling opponents. Ashiok and Narset (both versions) seem pretty good to have casually in a deck. Also removed some higher cost spells in favor of lower costs and added a second mana seeker spell. Still looking for things to improve on, but going from 3.9 cmc to 3.55 cmc is good for me for now.

Update 6/19/2021

I'm following Multimedia's advice and using those land upgrades. I'm planning on adding a Karn's Bastion (it's free proliferate, almost). I've also added a couple more Planeswalkers in Elspeth, Sun's Champion and Ajani Steadfast . I might drop Elspeth in favor of Inexorable Tide since it's a free proliferate for each spell we cast. I play test this friday, truly thankful to Multimedia for the sage advice.
