Changes —Aug. 13, 2017
-
Umezawa's Jitte: The amount of creature control and aggression deterrent from this card cannot be underestimated. It effectively turns any of my tokens into a massive threat while threatening removal if they decide to turn their creatures sideway at me.
-
Inkmoth Nexus: This will be my alternative win con. All I need is to deal a puny infect damage and let Atraxa do the work. It is also great with +1/+1 counters and pump abilities provided by my walkers and can become a surprised deathblow with Umezawa's Jitte.
-
Nature's Claim: Realized that I need a cheap source of artifact/enchantment removal. Krosan Grip was in contention but since superfriends is pretty mana intensive, having the need to only leave 1 mana up is much better.
-
Ob Nixilis of the Black Oath: This is currently in testing. Since I am playing in a rather aggrocentric meta, having the ability to generate a beefy flying token when cast is huge to protect my walkers. Also another alternate win condition in conjunction with infinite chain veil activations.
Profet93: Hey, thanks for the +1! The vampiric tutor analogy is to illustrate how I can literally stack my entire library in any order I like. I guess it's not a perfect one so I've removed it and have updated that section to list the winning piles I usually would take.
The purpose of greaves is to protect Atraxa and protect the stolen creatures I've taken with Jace's ultimate.

Enral Wow fail, that was obvious. Sorry, taking some new meds. This decklist seems solid. Might I possibly recommend Contamination as it can create a soft lock with Bitterblossom, moreover, it can stop opponents from playing anything other than colorless or black spells. Yawgmoth's Will for recursion?

Profet93: Great suggestions. I'm trying to stay away from stax and make it more friendly for my playgroup as it has already garnered enough attention and hate already but will definitely consider Yawgmoth's Will.

Read through as much as I could and I have to ask why no lilliana or ob nixilis? The Ob Nixilis of the Black Oath or Ob Nixilis Reignited are both pretty good as are most lilliana. I am just curious.

Hyperalgialysis: I really like either ob nixilis but there are only so many slots I can have for planeswalkers and unfortunately they did not make the final cut. I feel like the Superfriends list is a pretty flexible and ultimately is up to the pilot's preference which planeswalker serves that meta better.

Lord.of.Innistrad: That card doesn't impact the board as much as I like too. I prefer hard removals in that case.

proteus staff indicates only as a sorcerry, so you can't do it every turn and as such is not a vampiric tutor.
I like the deck, +1 from me.
What is the purpose of greaves, when you take their creature with jace ult, or protecting Deepglow?
