Overview:

This 5-color Superfriends deck leverages The Prismatic Bridge to cheat out high-impact planeswalkers and creatures, creating overwhelming value and control through proliferate synergies, stax elements, and planeswalker ultimates. The commander is the deck's core engine, enabling free deployment of threats like Ugin, the Spirit Dragon, Teferi, Temporal Archmage, and Nicol Bolas, Dragon-God. Secondary strategies include infinite turns via Ichormoon Gauntlet/Teferi, Temporal Archmage loops and stax locks with Stasis or Humility.

Primer:

Core Strategy Execution:

1. Setup (Turns 1-3): Deploy fast mana (Mana Vault, Chrome Mox, Birds of Paradise) and tutors (Demonic Tutor, Imperial Seal) to accelerate into The Prismatic Bridge. Protect with early interaction (Force of Will, Fierce Guardianship).
2. Bridge Activation (Turns 4-5): Cast Bridge, then trigger its upkeep ability to cheat out game-warping permanents like Doubling Season, Vorinclex, Monstrous Raider, or Teferi, Hero of Dominaria.
3. Lock/Combo (Turns 5-7):
   • Stax: Pair Stasis with planeswalker-based mana (Teferi, Temporal Archmage’s -1) or Humility to stall opponents.
   • Infinite Turns: Use Ichormoon Gauntlet + Teferi, Temporal Archmage + The Chain Veil to take infinite turns.
   • Ultimate Payoffs: Resolve planeswalker emblems (e.g., Teferi, Hero of Dominaria’s -8) or Nicol Bolas, God-Pharaoh’s -12.

Mulligan Priorities:

• Prioritize hands with 3+ mana sources (including fast mana).
• Keep hands with Bridge + protection (Teferi's Protection, Force of Negation) or tutors to find Bridge.
• Avoid hands lacking ramp or Bridge enablers.

Key Tips:

• Use Sterling Grove to tutor and protect key enchantments like Bridge or Doubling Season.
• Vorinclex, Monstrous Raider doubles loyalty counters on planeswalkers, enabling instant ultimates.
• The Chain Veil with proliferate effects (Ichormoon Gauntlet, Vraska, Betrayal's Sting) breaks parity in stax locks.

Weaknesses:

Critical

• Commander Dependency: Repeated removal of The Prismatic Bridge cripples the deck’s primary engine.
• Enchantment Hate: Force of Vigor or Farewell exiling Bridge or stax pieces can reset progress.
• Anti-Synergy Risks: Humility and Stasis disrupt the deck’s own mana dorks and planeswalker activations.

Moderate

• Graveyard Reliance: Recursion tools like Eternal Witness are absent; exiled planeswalkers are irrecoverable.
• Slow Interaction: Limited instant-speed answers to early aggression beyond Swords to Plowshares.

Minor

• Color Fixing: Nonbasic land hate (Blood Moon) mildly disrupts the otherwise robust mana base.

Most Important Cards:

• The Prismatic Bridge (Free threats every turn)
• Doubling Season (Doubles loyalty, enables instant ultimates)
• Teferi, Temporal Archmage (Untap synergy, infinite turns combo)
• Vorinclex, Monstrous Raider (Accelerates planeswalker ultimates)
• Ichormoon Gauntlet (Proliferate engine, enables infinite turns)
• Stasis (Lock piece with planeswalker mana)
• Demonic Tutor/Imperial Seal (Find Bridge or combo pieces)
• The Chain Veil (Multiplies planeswalker activations)
• Force of Will (Protects Bridge early)
• Humility (Neutralizes creature-based strategies)

Attribute Ratings:

Speed: 7/10

• Can deploy Bridge by T3-4 with fast mana, threatening game-ending ultimates or locks by T5-6.

Resilience: 6/10

• Strong protection for Bridge (counterspells, Teferi's Protection), but struggles to recover from repeated removal or exile effects.

Consistency: 8/10

• 10+ tutors and card selection (Sylvan Library, Rhystic Study) ensure Bridge and key pieces are accessible.

Interaction: 7/10

• Efficient counterspells and board wipes (Cyclonic Rift, Toxic Deluge), but light on artifact/enchantment removal.

Rating Justification:

This deck combines cEDH-level mana and tutors with a high-ceiling stax/combo plan, consistently threatening T5-6 wins or locks. However, its reliance on Bridge and vulnerability to enchantment removal keep it below top-tier competitiveness.

Power level: 7.5 - 8.0
