Hi! I like some of the changes you've made (most of them, actually) but I also think that Merciless Eviction is probably a better card than Urza's Ruinous Blast. It's still more versatile, and it answer's more problems. This might be a bit niche (or a lot) but sometimes I've encountered a Voltron deck with Darksteel Plate and Lightning Greaves, and the Merciless Eviction dealt with that. Despite not having it at the moment, the deck also had Leonin Abunas, in which case, artifact removal doesn't work either. I admit that the scenario I'm picturing is one in a thousand, but it happens sometimes. That being said, I wouldn't swap one for the other, I would include both :)

Finally, Imprisoned in the Moon is a fifty pence version of Song of the Dryads that doesn't give colored mana, I think it's strictly better in all cases :)

4th change:

Thanks for the suggestion MurderForBrunch, I didn't think about Imprisoned in the Moon. I'm going to organize my enchantment pretty soon. For Merciless Eviction, it's a great card, but I want to test a new card from the commander 18 edition first.

Now the new change:

Ajani Steadfast for Ashiok, Nightmare Weaver

City of Brass for Llanowar Wastes

Windgrace's Judgment for Putrefy

Forge of Heroes for Saltcrusted Steppe (that realy a test)

Elspeth, Sun's Champion for Jace, Architect of Thought

Aminatou, the Fateshifter for Garruk Wildspeaker

Fair enough! Urza's Ruinous Blast is still a pretty good card! Also I like the 4th set of changes you've made. I think you've made the right call for all of them :) I specially like Aminatou, the Fateshifter. At first I thought it was kindda a loose include, until I realized her -2 ability blinks permanents, not only creatures! It will give you so much value out of your Planeswalkers! :D

Could definitely use Captain Sisay to find a variety of your legendary cards, including your Planeswalkers. I think she would improve your consistency and be an overall better inclusion versus something like Ob Nixilis or Vraska the Unseen.

I’m truly surprised I don’t see Archmage Ascension in most atraxa decks on this site. I run it in my supertroopers deck and it is awesome in it. Surprised I ain’t seeing Oath of Gideon in here. Despite a suggestion I saw further up the thread I think you should keep at least your Pir, Imaginative Rascal in the deck. Toothy could go though. For protecting your walkers, think bout these fog effect cards:

And Circle of Despair is a good protection card as well. It does work for walkers. You can check gatherer on that one.

Consider using Honor-Worn Shaku as a way to have more mana as you can tap you planeswalker for mana, hidden deck tech :P

5th change:

Djeru, With Eyes Open for Toothy, Imaginary Friend

Shalai, Voice of Plenty for Oath of Liliana

Oath of Gideon for Oath of Jace

Demonic Tutor for Call the Gatewatch

Sorin, Grim Nemesis for Ob Nixilis Reignited

The cards I'm considering, but not sure what to remove: - Spike Weaver - Captain Sisay

Circle of Despair is a great card, but I don't have enough creature to make it work.

Zhur the Enchanter doesn't have enough targets to make him worth in this build, also Oath of Ajani is a little lack luster late game so you may want to consider replacing them. I would highly recommend replacing them with Avacyn, Angel of Hope and Privileged Position to help give you more protection to your permanents.

My Atraxa deck also runs some little fun toys like Skitherix (Black Infect Dragon). I love your deck build. I agree, drop Oath of Ajani and Zur, the Enchanter. I love both cards but it is not worth it. I also am unsure as to why you are running exo-skeleton either. Suggestions would definitely be to consider Sword of Mind and Body (mill is fun, but it creates a wolf token which is good for us. I would also consider running Knight Captain of Eos alongside Elspeth, Knight Errant as it creates a forever fog effect for 1 W. That is a mean thing to do, and proliferating makes Elspeth ultimate faster, but she can also get big things bigger in the air. So, I would consider that. The only other suggestion would be Black Sun's Zenith as a nice board wipe...

Both of you are right magnusactor and PapaC83 about Zur the Enchanter and Oath of Ajani .

I've tried Avacyn, Angel of Hope and Privileged Position it hasn't worked too much, specially indestructible.

For Skithiryx, the Blight Dragon I never thought about him, but with Captain Sisay and Yennett, Cryptic Sovereign could be an interesting addition.

Knight-Captain of Eos could be good, but I'm quite satisfied with Spike Weaver probably better than indestructible. I truly need to test with the combination of Elspeth, Knight-Errant

I don't think that Sword of Body and Mind would work fine in this deck, but it gives me the idea of trying Umezawa's Jitte .

Grafted Exoskeleton it's a personal choice and every time it hit the table this equipment had the job done.

Cant wait to see the new set War of the Spark. I'm pretty sure I'm going to see something good for my deck.

+1x Simic Ascendancy as an alternative wincon.

I play(ed) a similar deck which ended up taking a different direction, you can see it here (https://tappedout.net/mtg-decks/14-06-18-atraxa-superfriends-control/)

My question for you is what are your wincons in that deck? Which planeswalkers do you find produce victory most often? I used a much larger number of planeswalkers before limiting my selections to the walkers that I found were most effective, and then built an engine around empowering and enabling those walkers.

Also, why no love for cunning castaway? He's the best planeswalker in edh, and no one seems to have noticed.

Building a similar concept deck, I would consider evolution sage and flux channeler.

7th change:

in :

Urborg, Tomb of Yawgmoth

Karn's Bastion

Interplanar Beacon

Skithiryx, the Blight Dragon

out:

Zur the Enchanter

Swamp

Scavenger Grounds

Calciform Pools

Cards I'm considering to remove :

Oath of Ajani

Rings of Brighthearth

DRmagic2017 Simic Ascendancy seem pretty good as an alternate win con but I think it better suit my aggro Atraxa, legendary Voice,. Get a look, I'm always looking for advice. Atraxa aggro

ebonyks your deck look great, when I've started this deck I want to make a stax deck but I found out it was more fun mixing all the planeswalker and discovering new interaction between all of them. I need to be honest, Jace, Cunning Castaway seem better than I think.

Jace, cunning castaway is the most underrated planeswalker in edh. It's important to understand that he's not terribly useful by himself, but with doubling season, creates a board state that is very difficult to deal with. It creates unlimited copies of itself, and functionally unlimited 2/2 creatures. I found that only a few walkers were good enough to justify running in a deck like this, but it will depend on your meta and your playstyle. I find managing a board of 5 planeswalkers difficult, and excessively slow for other players.

Here's some advice on the deck:

Most of the oath cards are bad, teferi and nissa are the best ones. Rings of brighthearth would be worth running with a full playset of fetchlands, it's mediocre in your current build. You've seen how i've built my list, I would say that your deck has more creatures than it should, however. Creatures with powerful effects, like spike weaver, are better than value cards like yennet. I also don't really like your tutor selection, djeru, or arena rector without a good sacrifice outlet are bad, vampiric tutor, imperial seal or sterling grove are all superior choices. Deploy the gatewatch is also a terrible card, don't run it.

If you're running the chain veil, tezzeret the seeker should also be in your deck. Consider the two cards paired in a deck like this. Run both, or none at all.

Why take out Rings of Brighthearth? Youre playing a walker deck and that allows so many shenanigans.

July 18, 2019 9 a.m.

kinda suprised you're not running Privileged Position

other options inclue the new Flux Channeler and Evolution Sage

July 19, 2019 8:20 a.m.

I have a similar deck if you wanted to compare / contrast: Atraxia, Sole Survior

exalted_k1d says... #24

Though I prefer stax over superfriends

You should run

Captain Sisay , Thran Temporal Gateway , Sensei's Divining Top

Great deck! I have an Atraxa deck myself. I really dig Coalition Relic as a mana rock due to proliferate. Might be worth a look. Keep it up!
