Everyone at my LCS keep talking about super friends, I have no idea what that means.
Super friends is any variation on a deck that essentially uses a bunch of different Planeswalkers as their win-con. For instance, a creature light deck using Sorin, Lord of Innistrad , Tamiyo, the Moon Sage , Jace, Architect of Thought as their primary driving force would fit the qualification for the deck.
TL;DR: Essentially a deck with three or more Planeswalkers of different names qualifies a deck as a 'Superfriends' deck.

A deck built around abusing a whole bunch of planeswalkers. They're not just friends, they're SUPER FRIENDS.
The idea for the deck works like this:
One planeswalker? I should kill it to win.
Two planeswalkers? Which should I kill first?
Five planeswalkers? Uhhhhhh....
By having lots of planeswalkers on the field, they make it hard for their opponents to deal with them.
The weakness of the deck tends to be that planeswalkers that have the same strategy or goal tend also to be the same planeswalker type, so it's a bit hard to regulate how many of each type to run and what direction to go towards since it will most likely be pretty watered down.
