Deck Notes
In all honesty, this just looks like a punch-heavy deck. As good as Atraxa’s ability is, it doesn’t synergize with the draw, but she’s still a 7/7 with enough keywords to choke a Questing Beast. Sheoldred feels like the MVP of this list, and the ability to play in every color means it’s hard to prepare for what the deck can do.
