Definitely do this for all sorts of popular commanders!

Suggest keeping Biophagus to get that first counter on Atraxa to start proliferating her on turn 3.

[Gullington]

I've been thinking about retooling my Atraxa deck for awhile. Glad to have a guide that takes into account new cards.

[thewheelsman]

It always blows my mind that people run things that actually don't work in their deck. It hadn't even occurred to me that someone might run Propaganda in their superfriends.

2:30 The cheapest Tap: Proliferate that I could find was 4 mana. There are 1 offs that Proliferate for 1 or 2 mana, but no +1/+1 counter nor ability (besides flash, etc) to proliferate again. The sword is an option to have a permanent that can proliferate more than once. If part of ones Atraxa deck is Poison counters, then the Sword should stay.

While I don't have an Atraxa deck (I do have an Ixhel one) I will have to agree that almost all these cards would not make the cut.

[ryuujien]

This is an atraxa infect mind set which makes perfect sense to remove slow spells when playing small bodies that has infect.

In the mind of Toxic however some of the cards mentioned are pretty good in the deck

[tetsunohoshigaming]

I use key word counters in my atraxa, and all the cards that copy or move the counter onto other creatures. The ajins from kamigawa and the blue praetor provide the indestructible counters.

28:45 Corrupted Conscience was so much fun in limited. 😂

[purplnurgle]

See what you do is play your thrumming bird, then equip it with your sword of truth and justice... make it big and scary and make those white flying blockers irrelevant

[Lenvyathan]

This was a nice change of pace, I would love to see more this type of deep dives to certain popular deck archetypes!

[BlitzFlix]

Legit the slickest Moxfield transition

[tommieboi]

I played against Mia atraxa deck at magicon vegas and it is very strong. The entire table had to aim at her otherwise dead by poison turn 6 or 7.

[leegentges]

Hating thrummingbird and grateful apparition is kinda crazy. I understand why, but I see it as an opportunity to keep proliferating instead of a onetime effect with an instant or sorcery.

[matthewerickson]

Triggered by Vraska the Unseen. 18:04 I have Carth the Lion as one of my favorite commander decks to play. It runs 30 planeswalkers, 32 if you count the Liliana and Nissa creatures that flip into planeswalkers. Not in my list, never will be. Granted its not a budget list, but Vraska Relic Seeker from Ixalan is infinitely better for one more mana.

[trixterDevil]

We need replacement suggestions for all these.

[WikkitKlown]

I run 23 planeswalkers in my Atraxa Superfriends deck and it runs really smoothly with that many but it's been around for a long time and has been tweaked alot over time

[honestthink]

I made a infect/toxic budget deck with leisa forgotten archangel with those low to the ground creatures and its been pretty good in my playgtoups
It is on moxfield its called liesa forgotten counters

[Buchaus]

Day 57 of guessing the Moxfield ad at 16:44. I have this deck, which isn't that surprising given that it's the most popular deck on EDHREC, but I never really play it much anymore. It's probably time to take it apart

[JelloBrand]

The emblem on ajani does work a bit better with all the proliferation you are already running and it can't be interacted with... But still not as good as so many other walkers. Cool though

[zavionchain]

Four knocks has vanishing 4 even without proliferate its good. Ajani, Sleeper agent is a great card its easy to activate his -6 even the turn you cast him. Geth's summons is an ok card when you play atraxa super friends 4 mana for 1-5 blockers.
