Title: Atraxa Budget Synergies
Post by: Thefluffymacheen on November 20, 2016, 02:00:18 AM
 {Atraxa, Praetors' Voice}
I will likely be getting this premade commander deck in the next few days and would much appreciate some good budget additions to add to the deck. I also have a few cards I was thinking of adding and would like some opinions on

{Bring to Light} - four drop straight to the battlefield seems pretty good especially with some of the cards considering I can fetch Meren (see Meren)

{Whispering Madness} - adds some more card draw and synergizes with  {Meren of Clan Nel Toth} (see Meren)

{Scute Mob} - strong low drop creature that can scale well into late game and works well with Atraxa

{Gladehart Cavalry} - six counters plus life gain from dead creatures with counters on them seems pretty good

{Soul of the Harvest} - cause card draw

{Primal Command} - good general green toolbox card that could fetch something I need

{Panharmonicon} - seems extremely good with so many etb effects

{Angel of Invention} - strong creature, puts counters on itself, acts as a full board lord

{Meren of Clan Nel Toth} - allows me to reuse anything discarded ( {Whispering Madness} ), abuse  {Panharmonicon}, abuse dead creatures in general

Any other cheap suggestions or criticism would be greatly appreciated!

 {Ezuri, Claw of Progress} since experience counters can be proliferated,  {Anafenza, the Foremost} is a good one too! My deck is mostly creature heavy so I'm running a lot of counters on creatures to proliferate and leaving everything else to mana fixing and removal

Fathom make comes with the deck so I would have both in there.

In seeing a lot of Atraxa decks running infect or {humility}. Like, a concerning amount at my local tcs.

I love atraxa, but I don't want to run what everyone else will be running. Thinking about doing a "sampler" of walkers, +1/+1 counters, and -1/-1 counters. No infect thou as I feel it should be 20 poison counters in commander, so I just stay away from it.

I 100% agree with you on infect. I'm keeping the deck infect-free once I get it. And as good as {Humility} is, it's not quite as budget as I would like. I'm not making a ton of changes to the deck.
