Overview:

This 5-color superfriends deck leverages Esika, God of the Tree // The Prismatic Bridge to cheat out game-warping planeswalkers and creatures. The strategy focuses on ramping into The Prismatic Bridge as quickly as possible, using its triggered ability to deploy threats like Ugin, the Spirit Dragon, Teferi, Temporal Archmage, and Vorinclex, Monstrous Raider for free each turn. Secondary win conditions include stax locks (Stasis, Humility), planeswalker ultimates amplified by Doubling Season, and combo lines with The Chain Veil. The commander is the deck's linchpin, enabling explosive value but creating vulnerability to repeated removal.

Primer:

Core Strategy Execution:

1. Early Setup (Turns 1-3):
   • Deploy fast mana (Mana Vault, Sol Ring, Chrome Mox) and land tutors (Three Visits, Farseek).
   • Protect key plays with free counterspells (Force of Will, Fierce Guardianship).
   • Cast Esika as a mana rock if Bridge is delayed.

2. Bridge Activation (Turns 3-5):

   • Cast The Prismatic Bridge using 5c mana sources (Birds of Paradise, Bloom Tender, shocklands).
   • Use Sterling Grove or Teferi's Protection to protect Bridge once active.

3. Value Engine (Turns 4+):

   • Let Bridge flip planeswalkers like Teferi, Hero of Dominaria, Nicol Bolas, Dragon-God, and Liliana, Dreadhorde General.
   • Amplify loyalty gains with Oath of Teferi and Vorinclex, Monstrous Raider.
   • Lock opponents with Stasis + planeswalker-based mana (Teferi, Temporal Archmage's -1) or Humility + planeswalker removal.

4. Win Conditions:

   • Infinite planeswalker activations via The Chain Veil + Teferi, Temporal Archmage emblem.
   • Deepglow Skate + Doubling Season for instant ultimates.
   • Overwhelm with Nicol Bolas ultimates or Eerie Ultimatum recursion.

Mulligan Priorities:

• Keep hands with 2-3 lands including 5c sources (Command Tower, Mana Confluence).
• Prioritize Bridge enablers: ramp, protection (Deflecting Swat), or Bridge itself.
• Reject hands lacking colored mana or Bridge deployment plans.

Key Tips:

• Use Demonic Tutor/Imperial Seal to find Bridge or critical stax pieces.
• Oko, Thief of Crowns neutralizes enemy commanders while Bridge accumulates value.
• The One Ring provides draw and temporary immunity during setup turns.
• Farewell resets the board while leaving your Bridge intact.

Weaknesses:

Critical

• Enchantment removal (Disenchant, Boseiju) cripples Bridge-dependent strategies.
• Counterspells targeting Bridge force slow, fair gameplay.
• Anti-ramp stax (Collector Ouphe, Null Rod) disrupts mana acceleration.

Moderate

• Planeswalker-specific hate (The Immortal Sun, Pithing Needle).
• Mass land destruction resets Bridge's mana requirements.
• Graveyard exile negates Eerie Ultimatum recursion.

Minor

• Creature swarms under Humility can still chip away.
• Limited instant-speed interaction outside counterspells.

Most Important Cards:

• The Prismatic Bridge (Core engine)
• Doubling Season (Planeswalker turbocharger)
• Teferi, Temporal Archmage (Infinite activations with Chain Veil)
• Stasis (Game lock with planeswalker mana)
• Vorinclex, Monstrous Raider (Loyalty counter multiplier)
• Demonic Tutor (Finds Bridge or answers)
• The Chain Veil (Combo enabler)
• Force of Will (Protects Bridge)
• Oath of Teferi (Double planeswalker activations)
• Humility (Neutralizes creature strategies)

Attribute Ratings:

Speed: 8/10
Can deploy Bridge by T3-4 and start cheating 7+ CMC threats immediately. Stasis locks or infinite activations can end games by T5.

Resilience: 7/10
Free counterspells and protection spells shield key pieces, but Bridge removal forces reliance on slower backup plans.

Consistency: 9/10
12 tutors, 10+ ramp sources, and Bridge's guaranteed threat generation ensure relentless pressure.

Interaction: 8/10
Premium counterspells, Toxic Deluge, Assassin's Trophy, and planeswalker-based removal handle most threats.

Rating Justification:

This deck consistently threatens T4-5 wins through Bridge-fueled value or stax locks, with high resilience via free interaction and tutors. While lacking cEDH's deterministic T1-3 combos, it surpasses casual power ceilings through optimized mana and threat density.

Power level: 8.0 - 8.5
