Funny Planeswalkers Deck

[Carnac]

I now have a playset of all planeswalkers, cept the Mind-Sculptor, the Mad and Gideon. And looking around, I see many other people in the same situation. But as we all know, we usually prefer to play with only 2 or 3 of them in a deck, because we don’t want to end up with 2 of the same Planeswalkers in the opening hand. So what to do with the left-overs? Well,  why not put together a Planeswalkers deck? I have chosen to do so.

My Planeswalkers Deck looks like this atm:

Planeswalkers:
1 x Ajani Goldmane
1 x Ajani Vengeant
2 x Chandra Nalaar
2 x Elspeth, Knight-Errant
2 x Garruk Wildspeaker
2 x Jace Beleren
2 x Liliana Vess
1 x Nicol Bolas, Planeswalker
1 x Sarkhan Vol
2 x Sorin Markov
1 x Jace, the Mind-Sculptor
1 x Gideon Jura
1 x Sarkhan the Mad
Total: 17

Mana:
4 x Birds of Paradise
4 x Seaside Citadel
4 x Acane Sanctum
4 x Crumbling Necropolis
4 x Savage Lands
4 x Jungle Shrine
4 x Rupture Spire
Total: 28

Others:
3 x Wall of Omen
3 x Wall of Denial
4 x Day of Judgment
4 x Valeron Outlander
15


Some Planeswalkers are simply not usuable in a Planeswalkers Deck. Those are:
Chandra Ablaze (You don’t have any instants to cast)
Nissa Revane (You don’t have any Elfs to search)
Tezzeret the Seeker (You don’t have any artifacts)
Thus those are left out.

But some are more usable than the average, thus I have added 2 of those:
Chandra Nalaar. A Day of Judgment hitting only opponents creatures and/ or kill a Planeswalker.
Elspeth, Knight Errant. Grants nice expendable blockers and flying attackers.
Garruk Wildspeaker. Use his mana ramp to cast heavy-cost Planeswalkers.
Jace Beleren. Use him to draw cards.
Liliana Vess. Use her to Fetch the Planeswalkers you need and have mana for.
Thus, there are 2 of those.

Of course the deck is slow, as all lands comes into play tapped. But using the lands above along with Birds of Paradise, you are almost sure you always have the mana you need. And with most people playing the Worldwake creature lands and other “comes-tapped-into-play”-lands, many standard decks are slow today. This gives you a fair chance to catch up and get ahead of game, once you start to drop the powerful Planeswalkers.

Anyway, you still need creatures to defend your planeswalkers and resist fast creature drops in early game, until you get to cast a Day of Judgment or resolve a Chandra Ulti. Looking at the mana cost, I think the Wall of Omen, Wall of Denial and Valeron Outlander are best for this. Why Valeron Outlander? Because “Protection from Black” is really powerful in Standard matches. “Protection from Black” deals with vampires, Thrinax, Putrid and cant be targeted by Terminate, Pulse or Doomblade. And if you choose to add White Knight instead, it even deals with Bloodbraid. Wall of Omen is a nice 0/4 blocker for the cost of only 2 mana. And in early game, you don’t have anything else to use 2 mana for. Wall of Denial is excellent vs Sphinx,  Persecutor and other flying fatties.

With Garruk, it is actually easy to get Nicol Bolas in play. And you can use Liliana to tutor him, once you have the mana.

Do not expect to win tournaments with this deck. But its really funny to play.

How about Khalni Gem for easy access double mana in multiple colors?

I was also thinking you might want to try a green dominant manabase with using spells to fix/accelerate. Probably Harrow + Khalni Heart Expedition, w/ Lotus Cobra replacing Birds.
