I wanted to build a Superfriend EDH deck for a long time, and now that War of Sparks got released i thought: Now or never. At first my plan was to use Atraxa, Praetors' Voice as my Commander, but then the new Nicol Bolas was spoiled and i shifted to Ramos, Dragon Engine . The more i playtested the deck, the more i felt something was lacking, not gameplay-wise but flavor-wise. Ramos just felt wrong.

Then i opened Niv-Mizzet Reborn , a card that totally escaped my eyes when i was looking at the spoilers. That's when i thought: Why not build a deck themed completely around the "War of Sparks"? I changed the deck a bit to fit Niv's ability and changed my landbase so that i would use Guildgates and Maze's End as an alternative win condition.

Also i thought everyone who is looking at this deck here on tappedout should have the possibility to experience and lern about the whole "War of Sparks" story. So if you didn't follow magic's storyevents since "Kaladesh", don't worry. It's at least mentioned in the following text, so you don't need to reread everything up until now to follow through.

I will explain combos and ideas of this deck further down. I hope you have fun reading the story and if you have ways to improve this deck i would be happy to hear suggestions!

On Amonkhet, a desertplane , Bolas has taken over, He corrupted the gods of the plane and built its culture around trials, in which the strongest warriors would train their entire lives for the ultimate reward : death. Rather than ascending to a promised blessed afterlife, their bodies were coated in Lazotep, a metal with mystic properties that transformed these warriors into the Dreadhorde, an Eternal Army of zombie super soldiers.

On Kaladesh, a technologically advanced plane of inventors, Bolas had his agent Tezzeret, a Master of Artifice, steal a Planar Bridge from its inventor Rashmi . It couldn’t transport living matter, but with a zombie horde, this didn’t really matter. Tezzeret fused the bridge into his body, Planeswalked to Ravnica, and open a massive portal , letting Bolas’s Eternal Army invade the city.

This army of Eternals is lead by General Liliana, the Necromancer. Bolas allowed Liliana to gain eternal youth by signing a binding magical contract with four demons. Seeking freedom, she joined the Gatewatch , a heroic team of Planeswalkers. With their help, she was able to kill all four of her captor demons. This, however, activated a secret clause that transferred the contract, and control of Liliana , over to Bolas .

With Liliana at the head of Bolas’s army, Ravnica is razed.

In response to Bolas’s Dreadhorde Invasion , Ral Zarek , who in truth was working with Niv-Mizzet all along, betrays Bolas and modifies Project Lightning Bug, a method to track Planeswalkers entering Ravnica, into a beacon , alerting Planeswalkers through the Multiverse of Bolas’s attack.

Once the Planeswalkers arrive to stop the invasion, Bolas springs his trap. On the Plane of Ixalan, he had Vraska capture an artifact known as The Immortal Sun . This sun, formed from the Spark of Azor, the creator of the Guildpact that magically defines Ravnican law, prevents any Planeswalking and thus traps all the Walkers on the plane. Dovin Baan activates it from the Azorius Citadel of New Prahv and, in an instant, the Walkers who came to save Ravnica are now trapped themselves.

With dozens of Walkers trapped in the city while his super army pours in through the Planar Portal, Bolas has now set the stage for his masterstroke.

In the air of Ravnica, the Angels of the Boros Legion fight side by side with the brutish ogres of the Gruul against their common enemy: the airborne Eternals of the Dreadhorde. Chief in this battle are two champions of Ravnica once thought lost: Feather, the Redeemed and the Parhelion II .

Knowing The Immortal Sun is the source behind the seal keeping the Planeswalkers trapped, several Walkers assemble to take down Dovin Baan , who guards the Sun in the Azorius towers of New Prahv. Saheeli Rai , a fellow native of Kaladesh with the power to create animated constructs , tracks Dovin down by hunting his Thopter spies . This leads to an epic grudge match between Dovin and the Kaladeshi Gatewatch member Chandra, Fire Artisan .

Dovin was a member of the consulate on Kaladesh, the organization that regulated the Aether that powered the plane’s technology. Chandra’s mother, Pia Nalaar , led a rebellion against this consulate after Tezzeret coerced them to confiscate all the inventions showcased at the Inventors' Fair he was there to judge. This was how Bolas gained access to the Planar Bridge to enact this invasion in the first place.

After dispatching his artifacts, Chandra traps Dovin in a cage of fire, ending the duel between the long-time rivals.

At the climax of the allied pushback, Nissa Revane , the first member of the Gatewatch to leave the group, uses her power to bond with nature and leylines to cause the Awakening of Vitu-Ghazi , the massive tree headquarters of the green and white Selesnya guild.

In a triumphant blow, Vitu-Ghazi topples the statue of Bolas , emboldening the Ravnica alliance and raising morale. (And leaving Fblthp okay, who had wound up Totally Lost on top of it.)

Bolas is unconcerned about this petty rebellion, however, as his trump cards lay in wait. When Bolas returned to Amonkhet to harvest the plane’s corpses and build his army of Eternals, he also devasted the plane. His corrupted Scorpion God killed four of the five Amonkheti gods. Their bodies, like the mortals who once worshipped them, were also put through the eternalization process.

The result: the unstoppable super-weapons of the Dreadhorde. Bolas’s army now employs the God-Eternals Kefnet, Bontu, and Rhonas, with Oketra still to join.

Tamiyo, Collector of Tales , who has previously been content to observe and record the conflicts below, is moved to action by the sheer scale of the threat that the God-Eternals present.

When things look darkest, the plans of the heroes go into action.

When on Ixalan hunting for The Immortal Sun , Vraska met and bonded with an amnesiac Jace , mind mage of the Gatewatch. The former enemies became allies, and together planned a way to bypass Bolas. Vraska willingly let Jace erase and store her memories with him, only to replace them with false ones. This would mask her double agent status from the mind magic of Bolas.

With her memories restored by Jace , the pair worked with Ral Zarek to enact Niv-Mizzet’s plan. The Draco-genius had been struck down early in the invasion by Bolas but this had been part of his grand scheme. His research went into creating a new form of himself, one that could absorb the powers of the Guildpact, the magic law that ran through the plane.

With his soul safely stored inside a device of his own design and hidden away by Ugin and Sarkhan, the team was able to use his plans to reincarnate Niv-Mizzet Reborn as the new living embodiment of Ravnica’s Guilds.

Just as Niv-Mizzet achieves his final form, Bolas enacts the final phase of his plan. The Dragon-God casts The Elderspell and ushers in the third and final act of the War of the Spark.

The Endgame has commenced.

With countless Planeswalkers drawn to Ravnica and trapped by the Immortal Sun, the endgame of Bolas's plan goes into effect. It begins with The Elderspell , an ancient magic that allows Bolas to lethally rip the sparks from Planeswalkers and absorb them, reaching the godlike powers he once held.

The first victim of The Elderspell is Domri Rade , a beastmaster Planeswalker from the Gruul clan. Domri had gone from saving innocents to willingly serving Bolas after seeing the power of the God-Eternals. This would end in his own undoing.

With The Elderspell enacted, a touch from Bolas’s Eternals is all that is needed to harvest Domri’s spark and rip his soul from his body. By betraying Domri , Bolas sends a message that no one is safe from his ultimate wrath.

On the other hand, Kaya, the ghost assassin who Bolas had hired to aid in his invasion, has a change of heart. After seeing the carnage around her, Kaya pledges an oath to the Gatewatch and joins the team of protectors of the multiverse.

Witnessing the wrath of Bolas , the remaining Planeswalkers unite under one banner and mount a resistance. They launch an assault on Bolas's Citadel to enact the plan of their hero, Gideon Blackblade .

As Bolas’s army of zombie Eternals clashes with the Planeswalker resistance, there is no shortage of heroes. While it’s no surprise that members of the Gatewatch, like Jace, Ajani, Teferi and Chandra, play a huge role in the battle, the alliance against Bolas brings out many unlikely fighters.

Vraska, now in complete defiance of Bolas and completely enamored with card:Jace, Wielder of Myteries|Jace, slices through the ranks of the Eternals like one who is possessed. The Wanderer cuts down swarms of Bolas’s minions with her mystical broadsword. Davriel Cane uses his magic to summon molten demons to burn through the enemy forces. The two mysterious Walkers ( The Wanderer in her white garb and Cane in his black) even fight together and make it all the way to the center of the conflict.

At the same time, Teyo Verada, the teenage Planeswalker from Gobakhan, dashes around the field protecting his allies with his shields.

Even Nahiri and Sorin Markov join the fight. The two ancient Planeswalkers had ignored much of the conflict to this point as they were preoccupied in battling each other over their centuries-old blood-feud.

While the Planeswalkers fight valiantly (and many die in the process) , a small group from the resistance go on a trip to try and cut Bolas’s army off at the source.

An alliance of Planeswalkers charges through the Planar Bridge and into Amonkhet. The group consists of Dack Fayden , a master thief, Samut, a fierce Amonkheti warrior, Karn, a sentient Tolarian golem, and Ob Nixilis, a ruthless demon. Nixilis has no allegiance to either side but joins the charge anyway as a means to escape Ravnica and the Planeswalking restrictions of The Immortal Sun .

The band of misfit Planeswalkers successfully make it through the portal. Arriving on Amonkhet, they promptly defeat Tezzeret, Master of the Bridge , and annihilate the remaining Eternals on the desert plane. This finally puts an end to the relentless stream of undead soldiers that have been pouring into Ravnica to reinforce Bolas’s army.

On this plane, the team also encounters Sarkhan Vol, a legendary Planeswalker warrior in search of a weapon to defeat Bolas , and Hazoret, the only Amonkheti God that Bolas had not killed and turned into an Eternal. Concluding Sarkhan’s search, Hazoret hands the team her powerful spear, a weapon that Bolas himself had created.

With Ob Nixilis having already abandoned the team, the remaining warriors are joined by Sarkhan Vol and return to Ravnica with Hazoret’s spear.

While the main ground forces continue their onslaught on Bolas's Citadel , Gideon mounts a Pegasus to launch an aerial assault alongside the Boros angels. Using the Blackblade, Gideon is able to slay the God-Eternal Rhonas . He then sets his sights on Bolas himself.

As he rushes toward the Dragon-God , he is stopped by Oketra, another of Bolas’s God-Eternals and one that Gideon himself once greatly admired. Under Liliana’s control and Bolas's command, Oketra takes aim at Gideon , draws her bow, and fires. The arrow finds its mark, piercing the heart of the Pegasus and tossing Gideon off of his airborne mount.

This blow is especially tragic for Gideon, who was a great admirer of the Gods and whose Therosian faith had been rekindled after witnessing their former glory on Amonkhet.

As Gideon falls to the ground, he is caught mid-air by Rakdos, Lord of Riots . The demon lord of the Rakdos guild is obsessed with carnage and chaos, but not when done by an invading usurper. For the first and only time, the vain demon allows Gideon to ride him into battle.

Flying in on the back of Rakdos, Gideon takes a heroic plunge towards Nicol Bolas , wielding the god-slaying the Blackblade in hand.

Only to fail. Bolas knew all along that Gideon would build his plans around the the Blackblade. He let him carry out his assault nonetheless, knowing full well that the sword would not be able to kill him. Bolas also cleverly knew that if The Gatewatch had its focus fixed on the the Blackblade , they wouldn’t explore other methods of possibly taking him down.

With Gideon repelled, Bolas goes in for the kill.

As the Dragon-God prepares to finish Gideon, Liliana, general of Bolas’s armies, finally reaches her breaking point. In the ultimate change of heart, Liliana Vess betrays Bolas and directs his own armies to attack him. Enraged by this defiance, the Elder Dragon invokes the magic of the contract that binds her soul to him. Liliana begins to burn alive.

But before Bolas can reduce her to ash, Gideon steps in for one final act of heroism. The legendary founder of The Gatewatch makes the ultimate sacrifice and passes his indestructible aura to Liliana . As a result, Liliana survives the breach of her contract.

And Gideon Jura dies.

Overcome with rage and finally free of Bolas’s bondage, Liliana takes control of the remaining God-Eternals, Bontu and Oketra.

“You are the gods. He is the usurper. You know what to do.”

The two Eternal deities turn toward Bolas and attack. As the Dragon-God fights and repels the undead behemoths, he experiences a sudden and excruciating pain, more intense than any he’s felt in a millennium. Bolas looks down to see the two-pronged Spear of Hazoret protruding from his chest. As he turns, he sees the reborn legendary dragon Niv-Mizzet holding the weapon that Dack Fayden , Sarkhan Vol and the others had brought back from Amonkhet.

Overwhelmed and weakened by card:Hazoret the Fervant|Hazoret's spear, the Elder Dragon turns back to fight Liliana’s Gods. He is able to obliterate Oketra but cannot stop Bontu in time. The God-Eternal grabs hold of Nicol Bolas and begins harvesting his spark. In the process, Bontu absorbs the spark of every Planeswalker that was killed in the battle. The power is eventually too much for her being to handle and Bontu. explodes in a burst of light.

The last remaining God-Eternal perishes, but the damage to Bolas has been done.

With Bolas having lost his spark and now completely crippled, his brother Ugin, the Spirit Dragon arrives and takes him to the Meditation realm. This was the first plane that both brothers had ever planeswalked to.

Once there, Ugin reveals to Bolas that he has been a step ahead of him at all times. The Gem of Becoming , held in Bolas’ horns since he claimed it from the realm they now stood in, was actually a part of Ugin’s spirit. Ugin’s connection to the Gem gave him the ability to see Bolas’s plan at every step and allowed him to plot a way to defeat his brother alongside the vengeful Niv-Mizzet.

After Bolas had killed Niv prior to the War of the Spark, the Dragon’s spirit was stored away and held safely in the Meditation realm by Sarkhan Vol, a former slave of Bolas who was clearly out for revenge. Once Niv Niv was revived by the magic of the ten guilds of Ravnica, he was able to wield Hazoret’s spear to defeat Bolas , all while Lilliana’s courage and Gideon's Sacrifice neutralized his army.

Now, Ugin tells Bolas he has renamed the Meditation Realm into the “ Prison Realm ”. He will personally stand guard here as Bolas’s jailer until the once all-powerful Dragon-God has finally and completely withered away.

"Know this, brother. I am your jailer for what remains of your mortality and will make quite sure you never escape. Your schemes, your machinations… all your little dramas are at an end. The curtain has fallen."

Much of the information contained within this text was not written on the cards and was instead sourced from the book “War of the Spark: Ravnica” written by Greg Weisman.

• Circuitous Route : Puts two of my Gates onto the field, and gives me access to up to four colors.
• Farseek : Puts one of my shocklands onto the field, which can help find the missing colors.
• Oath of Nissa : No ramp, but let's me play my planeswalkers with every mana.
• Smothering Tithe : This card is a monstrosity, i don't know how much mana i already got just from this.
• Chromatic Lantern : Best mana fixing period and taps for a mana itself.
• Commander's Sphere : Well we play Commander, ain't we?
• Fellwar Stone : basically one mana of any color.
• Sol Ring : Did i mention, that we play Commander?
• Mirari's Wake : Double the mana, and a little buff to my Tokens.
• Kiora, the Crashing Wave : Her -1 let's us draw and play an additional land, which is nice, because we basicaly replace the land in our hand immediately with a new card.

• Dack Fayden : Not really card advantage, but lets us exchange cards we currently don't need with better ones and cycle our deck. He also steals artifacts, which i think is pretty nasty.
• Jace, Unraveler of Secrets : Great cycling and it's also his +1.
• Kiora, the Crashing Wave : Mentioned above under Ramp.
• Liliana, Dreadhorde General : We don't play a lot of creatures but lucky for us she makes her own.
• Nahiri, the Harbinger : Kinda like Dack Fayden , but we have to discard first.
• Narset Transcendent : Her +1 is pretty good for us even without top deck manipulation, because we play few creatures.
• Nicol Bolas, Dragon-God : The Big Boss himself grants us card advantage while also reducing that of our opponents.
• Nissa, Steward of Elements : Nice Cycle and possibly Ramp. Can come down early in the game and save us from a bad hand. Flexible to play because of her X in the manacost. Her ulti can deal 10 Dmg which can sometimes be enough to closeout the game.
• Tamiyo, Field Researcher : Well if we get attacked, we draw and propably lose our Planeswalker. If we don't get attacked, but somebody else is, we just draw cards. And if we attack we also just draw cards.
• Teferi, Temporal Archmage : His +1 let's us choose between two cards.
• Teferi, Time Raveler : temporary Removal + carddraw but -3 loyalty
• Tezzeret, Artifice Master : draws us at least one card and even two if we have 3 artifacts, which he conveniently can create himself.
• Commander's Sphere : We can sacrifice it if we are really desperate for cards or if it would get destroyed anyway.
• Tezzeret's Gambit : Great card for Superfriends, lets us draw 2 cards for 3 Mana of any color (What are 2 life in Commander am i right?) AND proliferates our planeswalkers.
• Jhoira, Weatherlight Captain : Well she lets us draw for about every second card we play.
• Niv-Mizzet Reborn : I almost forgot about our Commander. Yes he draws us cards too. But still not as much as i would like him to.

• Planewide Celebration : Gets up to 4 cards back to my hand, which is pretty awesome. But it's also very flexible in it's uses all around.
• Obzedat's Aid : Returns any one of our permanents we want to the battlefield, which is mostly used in case Doubling Season gets destroyed or somehow ends up in our graveyard.
• Primevals' Glorious Rebirth : Just the card to get us back into the Game or wrap it up. We only need to have one legendary creature or planeswalker out to play it. Doable.
• Narset Transcendent : Her -2 is kind of recursion for instants or sorcerys. Just for the next turn but still.

• Liliana Vess : Most of the time i play her just for her -2 to get the card i want.
• Nahiri, the Harbinger : Her Ultimate puts an artifact or creature onto the battlefield and returns it at the end of our turn. Great combo with Deepglow Skate .
• Samut, the Tested : Her Ultimate has also great combo potential.
• Tezzeret, Artifice Master : His ultimate let's us put any permanent we want from our deck onto the battlefield at the end of each turn. Maybe a bit overrated but still great.
• Enlightened Tutor : Exist almost only to get us Doubling Season .
• Demonic Tutor : Just the greatest tutor.
• Captain Sisay : Can get us every legendary we want. So every Planeswalker, some of our creatures, enchantments and sorceries. Combos great with Minamo, School at Water's Edge and Ral Zarek .
• Ignite the Beacon : Searches for two of our planeswalkers at instant speed. Great setup card.
• Lim-Dul's Vault : We can look for a specific which will probably be quite expensive life-wise or just look for a good set of 5 cards and order them. Good Turn 2 play to set up for the next 5 turns, but also good lategame.

• Angrath, the Flame-Chained : Deals with small to medium creatures. Disrupts all enemy hands and deals dmg for +1. Might even be a game-ender depending on the amount of graveyard-hate.
• Jace, Unraveler of Secrets : Temporary solution for creatures.
• Liliana, Dreadhorde General : since we play few creatures her -4 is pretty good, but even with creatures it's good for us, because we draw cards.
• The Elderspell : Can kill each Planeswalker on the battlefield. Most of the time we use this to kill our own Planeswalkers and put the loyalty-counter on another of our Planeswalkers to use the ultimate the turn we play the Planeswalker
• Dack Fayden : Artifact-removal, just that we get the artifact.
• Ral Zarek : Lightning Bolt .
• Vraska, Relic Seeker : Versatile removal and gives us a treasure token.
• Windgrace's Judgment : 3 for 1.
• Teferi, Time Raveler : Versatile temporary removal and we draw a card.
• Ugin, the Spirit Dragon : Lightning Bolt .
• Nicol Bolas, Dragon-God : Destroys target Creature or Planeswalker with a snap of his fingers.
• Nicol Bolas, God-Pharaoh : Deals with most creatures or serves as a finishing blow.
• Anguished Unmaking : One of my favorite removal cards. Totally Worth the 3 life.
• Sorin, Grim Nemesis : Good Removal, and can draw a card and deal dmg. Also his Ult can win Games with Doubling Season .
• Nahiri, the Harbinger : Also versatile removal. I really like to have Enchantment removal in my decks
• Decimate : Destroys 4 permanents for 4 Mana. When i first played against that card i thought it was a joke.
• Samut, the Tested : deals with little creatures if it has to.

• Cyclonic Rift : Not listed under Removal because we really really want to play this for it's overload cost. It's just great.
• Liliana, Dreadhorde General : Her ultimate is game-winning
• Supreme Verdict : Great AoE. And it can't be countered which is pretty awesome.
• Time Wipe : Since the few creatures we have are essential, it's nice to save one of them. And we can play this card even if we don't have a creature on board.
• Last One Standing : Great cheap Creature AoE, and kind of the only Rakdos card i found, that made it into the deck.
• Nicol Bolas, God-Pharaoh : His ultimate is also game-winning
• Merciless Eviction : AoE for the cardtype of our choice.

• Ajani Steadfast : Gives our Commander vigilance, first strike and lifelink, gives our other Planeswalkers more counter, or gives us a nice Emblem so that we and our Planeswalkers don't die to fast.
• Deepglow Skate : This card enables so much bullshit with this deck, it's not even funny.
• Deploy the Gatewatch : Staple Card in a Superfriends deck. Especially nice if Doubling Season is in play.
• Doubling Season : Best Card in the Deck. Almost every Planeswalker can ulti the moment they hit the battlefield.
• Flux Channeler : If not dealt with, this card can escalate quickly.
• Inexorable Tide : Same as Flux Channeler , even better because of the missing restriction to noncreature spells, and it's an enchantment, which, most of the time, is harder to remove.
• Planewide Celebration :This card does everything we can wish for. You need blockers? No Problem. You need more counters? Easy. You need a card from your Graveyard? Go for it. You need life? Here take some. Best of all you can mix it however you want.
• Spark Double : He's whoever you want him to be.
• Teferi, Temporal Archmage : His Ultimate almost counts as a Win-con, but not quite.
• Teferi's Protection : You need a Round until your Planeswalker can Ult? Here's the card for you.
• Dueling Grounds : Great Way of keeping enemy creatures off our Planeswalkers.
• Oath of Teferi : Can reset one of our Walkers or trigger our commander again or Deepglow Skate and we can use Planeswalker Abilities twice a turn.
• Teferi, Time Raveler : He ensures, that we can use our loyalty-abilities without beeing interrupted.
• Venser, the Sojourner : Resets our Planeswalkers, flickers our Creatures, and can make our Commander unblockable if necessary.
• Rings of Brighthearth : Great card with Planeswalker. Although we don't get the counters twice, we still copy the ability. With Minus abilities even an advantage: Two times the Effect for the price of one. And Yes it can also copy ultimates, so you would get emblems twice.
• The Chain Veil : For 4 mana we can use our loyaltiy-abilites again. Works great with Minamo, School at Water's Edge .
• Nahiri, the Harbinger : Her Ultimate works great with Deepglow Skate , because it gets send back to your hand at the end of your turn, so that you can play it again next turn.
• Ashiok, Dream Render : Our graveyard-hate. maybe we need a little bit more, but still a solid card

It's a little bit hard to write down all ways to win with this deck. Up until now i almost always won in a different way. I will list some of them, but i am sure there are still ways to win,that i haven't seen yet or didn't occure to me.

Most of the time you win if Doubling Season is on the battlefield, you play Deepglow Skate together with your Planeswalkers or you just have a lot of proliferate:

• Angrath, the Flame-Chained : His Ult could easily kill one or more opponents.
• Jace, Unraveler of Secrets : If you get his ultimate, the game is almost over. It's hard for your opponents to come back from that.
• Liliana, Dreadhorde General : Your opponents lose almost everything. The most important thing: They lose every land except for one. Even harder to come Back from than from Jaces Ulti.
• Liliana Vess : Her ult can also win you the game, but is a lot less reliable and depends strongly on the decks your opponents play. I would not go for it if you are not sure it wins you the game.
• Ral Zarek : If you don't roll tails 5 times, your opponent probably don't get another turn. To be infinite it needs some proliferate support. or Rings of Brighthearth
• Vraska, Relic Seeker : Since we have a lot of Lightning Bolt -ish effects, we can easily kill at least our most troublesome opponent on the spot.
• Kiora, the Crashing Wave : Not a win on the Spot, but on the long run, you will have a great army of 9/9s.
• Narset Transcendent : Annoy your opponents to death. A lot of Decks are really pissed about this Emblem.
• Venser, the Sojourner : Also a slow way to win, just exile everything until you find a way to win.
• Nicol Bolas, Dragon-God : If no legendary creature or Planeswalker is on the opponents side, you just win.
• Nicol Bolas, the Ravager  : Transform him and activate it's ult and another troublesome opponent bites the Dust earlier than he expected.
• Tamiyo, Field Researcher : She does not directly win you the game put an unremovable Omniscience is unbelievably strong.

It may seem hard at a first glance to use all those ultimates. You may ask yourselves what if i don't have Doubling Season or Deepglow Skate ? That's what your tutors are for. For me there was no game where i didn't at least had one of the following or a way to get them:

• Doubling Season
• Deepglow Skate
• Inexorable Tide
• Flux Channeler
• Oath of Teferi

It might not seem like it, but most of the time you have the possibilities to use your ult at the same turn or one turn after. Sometimes your Planeswalker just lives for a turn, because nobody expects something crazy and suddenly you play Ral Zarek your Nahiri, the Harbinger , who everybody kinda ignored uses her ult to find Deepglow Skate , which doubles the counters on Ral Zarek and you just win from there. My favorite Way of winning is to survive until i have 9 mana, cast Doubling Season , cast Samut, the Tested , ult Samut, put Nicol Bolas, God-Pharaoh and Nicol Bolas, Dragon-God onto the battlefield, use Nicol Bolas, God-Pharaoh Ultimate, then Nicol Bolas, Dragon-God ultimate, snap with the fingers and win.

Another fun way to win is using The Elderspell . Most of the time you just need 2 Planeswalkers to die to enable the ultimate of another. With cards like Deploy the Gatewatch , Samut, the Tested , or Primevals' Glorious Rebirth you can get them relatively easy. Kill them and charge the Planeswalker of your choice to win the game or cripple your opponents for the rest of it. I never really consider that, but sometimes your opponents also play a Planeswalker, and suddenly you just need to spend 2 Mana to win.

Essentialy what i am trying to say is: This Deck has so many options to win and is so flexible, that you can adopt your gameplan depending on the current boardstate. Every game is like watching a new Movie with new heroes and new Villains. Just take it as it comes.

I hope you will have fun with this Deck and please leave a like if you enjoyed the journey through Magic: The Gathering - Endgame.
