Description

{"ops":[{"insert":"This is my take on an archetype I don't like that much: Superfriends\n\nMy main issue with the archetype has always been the fragility of planeswalkers. Creatures can swing at them and they feel really bad if you are on the backfoot. A friend has talked to me to think of planeswalkers differently. They are like enchantments that can be used multiple times. And because of their utility of having 2 or more modes, there is a benefit to having permanents that can keep their use over time. So, I've decided to take a headfirst dive into this archetype by shoring up 2 aspects I disliked about planeswalker strategies: aggressiveness and speed.\n\nMost planeswalker decks don't win fast. Their abilities are only able to be used at sorcery speed. They can't attack. And unless you play red or an aristocrat strategy, your reach is very little. Therefore, I've tried to focus on planeswalkers that produce tokens. By doing so, they can protect your stuff from non-flying creatures and can become an aggressive threat over time. By using Kethis, we can also recur planeswalkers to make sure that we get the most use out of our \"enchantments\"\n\nIn addition, I've decided to make sure that none of my planeswalkers will stall the game too hard. I find that decks built around planeswalkers tend to be hyper controlling to ensure the ultimates/abilities can keep being activated. Or they are combo decks which try to get ultimates off as fast as possible. We don't do that. We just intend to play overcosted spells that make tokens and then be fine if our planeswalkers die because Kethis can get them back if we have enough legendary permanents to exile. A compromise I find pleasant due to a shift in what I consider planeswalkers to be and how to use them in commander.\n\nThis isn't a perfect deck. It has very limited mass-artifact or mass-enchantment destruction. It does really well at presented a board presence. But, this deck doesn't run many pieces of protection to ensure my planeswalkers survive because I am under the assumption my tokens will be enough. It's a casual deck and its only limiter is whether you play with faster decks. But otherwise, I think I have build a planeswalker deck I enjoy many aspects of.\n\nThis is also a build that can be swapped with a custom commander that my friends and I are playing which is currently listed as the following:\n\n---------\n\nGilbrae'e, Spark Wielder\n\nCost = 1WBG\n\nLegendary Planeswalker - Gilbrae'e \n\nStarting Loyalty = 4\n\nAs long as it is your turn, each planeswalker you control are Knight creatures in addition to their other types with power and toughness equal to their loyalty (Loyalty abilities can still be activated)\n\n+1 - Create a 2/2 white Knight creature token with vigilance\n\n-X - Return target noncreature, nonland legendary permanent card with mana value X or less from your graveyard to the battlefield. If a planeswalker was returned this way, draw a card.\n\nGilbrae'e, Spark Wielder can be your commander.\n"}]}
