Demarge says... #1

am I missing the card that gives creatures haste, or is there a point to reducing Sliver Queen 's ability to 1 with Training Grounds ?

Cool deck! Some suggestions:

For planeswalkers, I really like Gideon Jura as removal and sometimes protection.

Protecting planeswalkers is sort of tricky because they draw so much hate, at least from personal experience. Token blockers are good but flyers can be a problem, as can other sorts of evasion. Humility is like the ultimate defense I think. Stops opponent ETB effects and makes your 1/1 tokens trade with any of their creatures. Also Gisela is pretty huge attack deterrant, as is Kazuul.

Finally, Doubling Season is great, but Gilder Bairn is pretty strong too! Like a mini version :)

Demarge - Sarkhan Vol gives them +1/+1 and haste. also, with Ashnod's Altar AND/OR Mana Echoes out I can create infinite creatures and infinite mana.

Dormant Sliver to draw out my deck until I get my Reliquary Tower , then sac him.

Gemhide Sliver for mana excel and infinite colored mana once I get the sac outlet going.

Sliver Legion - to make them all infinite / infinite.

Delandel - do you mind using the brackets to link the cards? two "[" before the card name and two "]" after the card name and it will link the card. some of the cards I am unsure if are card names or not? lol

also guys I never so say to +1ing my deck. haha

I believe you read Sarkhan Vol wrong, he doesn't give all the creatures that would come into play of yours that turn haste, he gives the creatures you currently control haste.

i know that. I put them into play, then give them haste. im not going to activate that ability before they come in.

If you have Concordant Crossroads or even Lightning Greaves you could go infinite sliver tokens with Sliver Queen , Training Grounds and Gemhide Sliver .

I've been thinking of adding maybe a Tezzeret's Gambit and / or Contagion Engine . i just don't know what to take out for it. thoughts anyone?

Blazing Archon won't stop people from attacking your planeswalkers.

Norn's Annex and Isperia, Supreme Judge are both very strong cards and effective deterrents against attacks. Neither of them will stop an attack if the opponent really wants to, but Annex limits them to their mana (or life) and Isperia can let you draw lots of answers. Combined with something like your "make a mass of slivers to block with" plan and suddenly your opponent has to swing with lots of dudes just to get through, and that's super profitable for you.

Blood Reckoning isn't a good choice, though. For the most part, if it's worth paying the 1 life, an opponent will do so to take out a PW. It doesn't matter if you avoided losing some life to Reckoning if Bolas is just going to win the game for you next turn, for instance. You'll trip up some opponents with it, but the better players won't be fooled.

Consider the Vow cycle as well (Vow of Flight , etc.) They're solid cards in that they're a hard stop for one creature on attacking you, which has the added bonus of making them probably attack other players. And because they're inexpensive, they also double as solid buff spells for your own dudes, if you just want to make a beefier guy.

Jedi117 you need to look at this

May 23, 2013 3:58 p.m.

Sainted says... #11

lol i love the concept. but does the deck even work?

May 23, 2013 3:59 p.m.

Dreno33 says... #12

yes, actually. haha. i got out 20 4/4 red dragon tokens out T3 ( with Sarkhan Vol ) and then casted Nicol Bolas, Planeswalker T4 and used his ultimate T4 as well. Then swung in with 20 5/5 dragons in the air.

this deck is actually pretty solid and consistent. Doubling Season is what I usually tutor for most (depending on everything else of course. And if my planes walkers don't beat you down then my infinite combos of slivers will.

Jedi117 says... #13

LOL this deck is hilarious.

You should put Sliver Queen in the general slot.

Dude, I would love to comment on this deck for you, but I am lost when it comes to EDH, my area of expertise lays in Standard and Draft.

May 23, 2013 10:54 p.m.

Sainted says... #16

SOOOO how are you getting doubling season on the field T1 to be able to play a Planeswalker t2 and get it max counters for ultimates on T3. Im like missing something, because it sounds like you have the most powerful ramp in teh history of Magic.

May 25, 2013 7:41 a.m.

Sainted says... #17

Empyrial Archangel , is a great way to protext your Walkers from direct damage.

May 25, 2013 7:51 a.m.

Dreno33 says... #18

T1 - Land, Magus of the Vineyard T2 - Land, Sol Ring , Mana Crypt , Doubling Season , Birds of Paradise T3 - Land, ( Rings of Brighthearth + Sarkhan Vol ) OR Nicol Bolas, Planeswalker

( Rings of Brighthearth + Sarkhan Vol ) = 20 4/4 Flyers

Nicol Bolas, Planeswalker = Target Player discards 7 cards, sacs 7 permanents, and dealt 7 damage.

Why? They both enter with double the loyalty counters via Doubling Season . And Sarkhan Vol 's ultimate is doubled with Rings of Brighthearth

so much addition! my brain hurts. love this deck

zorsmobile says... #20

You should absolutely add Academy Rector . Nothing is juicier than charging a planeswalker while your opponent wants to attack them but doesn't want to kill your Academy Rector and let you get our a free Doubling Season or what have you. Also Mirari's Wake and Mana Reflection would get crazy with Sliver Queen .

I would say Spoils of Victory and particularly Norn's Annex need to be cut, you would rather have either a wrath spell, mana doublers, or enchantment tutor-and-play than an optional cost. Yes, the 2 life can eventually add up but anyone smart will just pay the 2 life and deal with it, whereas an army of slivers because you have Mirari's Wake out is much more difficult to deal with

May 25, 2013 12:30 p.m.

VERY nice deck, Dreno! I've always thought about a deck-build like this, but never had the support cards like you have throughout this. ::applaud::

zorsmobile says... #22

My deck puts a different spin on it, it's still super friends but instead of mana ramp + slivers it just has an absurd amount of Wrath of God type effects so nobody has any creatures ever. The alternate win con is Progenitus as the commander, so there's the aforementioned Mirari's Wake /Mana Reflection and some early game mana ramp just to speed up the 'walkershttp://tappedout.net/mtg-decks/super-friends-unite-1/

zorsmobile says... #23

sorry for spamming your comments, but I do think I'm going to add Rofellos, Llanowar Emissary to my deck, that's a great addition

May 25, 2013 12:43 p.m.

Dreno33 says... #24

thanks for the comments guys.

zorsmobile - Ya I love Academy Rector but for some reason never considered it here, lol. definitely finding a spot for it. I love Norn's Annex because it completely shuts down token decks even if they have white mana to tap. costs 8 white or 16 life to send 8 1/1s? no thanks. Plus most of my meta don't play decks including white so its a guaranteed 2 life for each creature. But I will look into more enchantments first and just sideboard it to test the card out. Also, I am going to take out Sliver Legion because the only time he is relevant is when I go infinite, but that is just overkill. My friend pointed that out to me. So in goes Academy Rector and Phyrexian Altar for now until I find what other enchantment I like best. If i can't in goes your Mana Reflection

highdesertvike - haha thanks man. I have this deck in the version of a 60 card deck as well. Check it out if you wish for any ideas: 1 vs 15. That's Fair.

Dreno33 says... #25

considering adding Omniscience or Maelstrom Nexus to play things quicker for that new enchantment.

OR maybe Archmage Ascension because I draw many card after I tutor for my Dormant Sliver . Then I get a tutor for each sliver into play and at the beginning of my turn.

if i add a few more enchantments I definitely want to add Copy Enchantment . it can double so many relevant enchantments already: Assemble the Legion , Doubling Season , Exploration , Parallel Lives , and Rhystic Study . not to mention doubling a Maelstrom Nexus would be awesome.

thoughts?
