A modified version of CommandValley's atraxa superfriends deck.

Cards I switched out:

• Idyllic Tutor & Call the Gatewatch > Demonic Tutor & Vampiric Tutor (Cheaper and can bring any card)
• Ignite the Beacon > Captain Sisay (Is a bit slower and less reliable, but can provide even more value when things go well, and can also call Kor Haven, the Oath enchantments, Shalai, Voice of Plenty, Umori, the Collector, and The Chain Veil, so I think it's better and more fun)
• Smothering Tithe > Bloom Tender (Cheaper ramp because the deck is top heavy, Smothering Tithe is likely still better in multiplayer)
• Counterspell > Mana Drain (Strictly better)
• Fuel for the Cause > Counterspell (Putting it back because Proliferate isn't worth 2 mana)
• Ash Barrens > Everflowing Chalice (It's good ramp and it seemed like the only card I can take out for it)
• Forest > Reflecting Pool (Balance for removing Ash Barrens)
• Temple Garden > Stirring Wildwood (Slower, but can help protect walkers, or even attack on it's own)
• Forest > Kor Haven (Very good card, the colorless lands are all too good to take out, and there's enough green mana sources)
• Plains > Mana Confluence (Balance for removing a forest)
• Cultivate > Kiora, the Crashing Wave (Might be worse, but is more fun and versatile)
• Oath of Kaya > Oath of Gideon (Has more potential value, and with Kiora being another protection card I feel fine replacing this one with something more aggressive)
• Umori, the Collector > Pir, Imaginative Rascal (Making walkers cost 1 less for 4 mana isn't good enough, while Pir is amazing, and still works with Captain Sisay)
• Shalai, Voice of Plenty > Arena Rector (Walkers don't get targeted much, and I'd rather either a nocreature or a creature that goes well with board wipes. Still, Shalai gets a spot in the sideboard)
• >
• Overgrown Tomb > Mystic Sanctuary (with 9 lands with the Island land type and many ways to get them card would be a nice way to get Eerie Ultimatum or something else back. Removed overgrown tomb because I had a bit more green and black than I needed, and too little blue)
• Merciless Eviction > Farewell (It's far better since it's choose one or more and I'll almost never want to exile all planeswalkers)
• Deploy the Gatewatch > Rings of Brighthearth (the deck doesn't have enough walkers for deploy to be good, and Rings and can be fantastic)
• Myriad Landscape > Field of the Dead (Myriad Landscape is very slow, and having to get the same basic land is very limiting. Field seems great)
• Forest & Island> Snow-Covered versions (they help with field of the dead, and have no downside otherwise)
• Vraska, Relic Seeker > Nissa, Vital Force (Vraska's first ability isn't great, her last ability isn't nearly as good as Sorin Markov's second, and her second is good but isn'she's not worth playing just for it. Nissa is amazing.)
• Tezzeret's Gambit > Savor the Moment (Tezeret's Gambit isn't very strong, and Savor the moment is very fun in this deck and can have a similar effect plus more)
• Duneblast > Urza's Ruinous Blast (Exiling all nonland non-legenedery permanents functions way better in this deck, and Captain Sisay can fetch it, then survive it)
• Supreme Verdict > Vanquish the Horde (A board wipe that's usually 2 mana cheaper seems better than being uncountarable. Still, I'm keeping SUpreme Verdict on the sideboard for when it matters)
• Godless Shrine > Azorius Chancery (I have too much black and too little blue, and I want to try playing a bounce land because it has synergy with a bunch of cards in this deck)
• Fabled Passage, Prismatic Vista, Krosan Verge > Flooded Strand, Misty Rainforest, Verdant Catacombs (better fetchlands)
• Interplanar Beacon> City of Brass (the life gain isn't good enough and the opportunity cost for not being able to play Atraxa when I want to is too high)
• Plains, Swamp, Island > Boseiju, Who Endures, Otawara, Soaring City, Takenuma, Abandoned Mire
• Empowered Autogenerator > Chromatic Orrery (Autogenerator is too slow. It costs 4 mana and doesn't subsidize iself. Orrery's subsidized cost is 2. it also almost always give more mana the next turn, and the static ability makes both it and my other mana far more versatile. It also has the added bonus of being able to draw me 4 cards for 5 mana instead. And it's also findable with Captain Sisay)
• Swamp > Sea Gate Restoration   (MDFCs are really good so I want to play at least one, though I'm not yet sure which)
• Swamp > Crucible of Worlds (I think this is a very good card, and it has a few synergies. I also think that it mana fixes well enough that I can put it instead of a land)
• Stirring Wildwood > Horizon Canopy
• Farseek, Arcane Signet > Noble Hierarch, Birds of Paradise (I prefer 1-drop ramp so I can cast my 3-drops on turn 2. Noble hierarch will also tend to buff Atraxa, giving me more life. Still, these are creatures that die to my own board wipes, so I'm not sure if they're really that good)
• Windfall > Reki, the History of Kamigawa

Cards I consider removing:

• Elspeth, Sun's Champion
• Oath of Ajani: not sure that it's good enough, another mana source might just be better.
• Ajani, the Greathearted
• counter spells, especially Counterspell and Arcane Denial

Cards I consider adding (unrelated to the above):

• Brokers Ascendancy
• Vindicate instead of Beast Within
• Tamiyo, Collector of Tales
• Academy Rector
• Vorinclex, Monstrous Raider, not as good as Doubling Season and seems a bit expensive and overkill in addition to it.
• Mangara, the Diplomat
• Djeru, With Eyes Open, though I'm unlikely to, because he probably isn't quite good enough.
• Urborg, Tomb of Yawgmoth and Yavimaya, Cradle of Growth for synergy with Captain Sisay. Looking for other legendary lands too.
• Mox Amber
• Bontu's Last Reckoning
• Primevals' Glorious Rebirth
• Carth the Lion
• Honor-Worn Shaku
• MDFCs
• Sanctum Weaver
• Dowsing Dagger  
• Lae'zel, Vlaakith's Champion

Important rulings:

• Doubling Season does not affect planeswalker's abilities, because the counters are added as a cost instead of an effect.
• Pir, Imaginative Rascal does work with planeswalker's abilities, and it also makes them fully work with Doubling Season because it replaces the counters put as a cost with counters placed as an effect. So if you +1 a walker with Pir on the field, you add 2 counters, if you also have Doubling Season, you add 4 (+2 becomes +3, and +6 with doubling season, +3 becomes +4 becomes +8).
• Pir, Imaginative Rascal doesn't double the effect of Oath of Gideon. If you have both on the field, walkers enter with 2 extra counters.
• If you ultimate Tamiyo, the Moon Sage when she's on 8, she doesn't return to your hand.
• Any ability that lets you play play planeswalker abilities at instant speed lets you play them multiple times per round, once for each turn.
