Title: My Commodore Guff Superfriends deck! Looking to finalize the list.

I'm hoping I got the balance (https://cards.deckstats.net/magiccard.php?utf8=1&lng=en&card=Balance) of PWs, support, interaction and draw right, but I'm pretty happy with it so far. I went for a combo centric list, with some spicy (https://cards.deckstats.net/magiccard.php?utf8=1&lng=en&card=Spicy) PW based combos. Let's see how many you can find!

Howdy!

I have been playing a Jeskai superfriends with Pramikon, Sky rampart (https://cards.deckstats.net/magiccard.php?utf8=1&lng=en&card=Pramikon%2C+Sky+Rampart) at the helm for 3 or so years. The budget is only 250 dollars, so it plays some cards which are different than the ones you have, but I would happy to give some suggestions if you’d like!

• I really like your mana base. Personally I have never managed to get planar beacon to workout, if the rest of the manabase is good, there is rarely a need to filter your colors. I think a fetchland is more consistent
• love the ramp section too. I’m curious, why mox amber (https://cards.deckstats.net/magiccard.php?utf8=1&lng=en&card=Mox+Amber)?
• Great PW selection. Only a few suggestions. In my deck, Elspeth has proved time and time again to be the best PW. Would recommend over ajani. More optional: replace Jace Castaway and Jace WoM with Serra and Mordenkainen (https://cards.deckstats.net/magiccard.php?utf8=1&lng=en&card=Mordenkainen). I do realize this will raise the average MV of your PWs, those Jaces cannot defend themselves. Or other PWs
• I find Oath of Gideon (https://cards.deckstats.net/magiccard.php?utf8=1&lng=en&card=Oath+of+Gideon) to be a trap card. The 1/1s are nothing more than chump blockers, and the extra loyalty does nothing but put a bigger target on your back. Instead of ultimate-ing one turn earlier, you will only force a board wipe one turn earlier. I would run Onakke Oathkeeper (https://cards.deckstats.net/magiccard.php?utf8=1&lng=en&card=Onakke+Oathkeeper).
  • this also the exact reason why gatewatch beacon (https://cards.deckstats.net/magiccard.php?utf8=1&lng=en&card=Gatewatch+Beacon) is bad. Well done (https://cards.deckstats.net/magiccard.php?utf8=1&lng=en&card=Well+Done) avoiding it.
• Idk what you would cut for this, but Call the Gatewatch (https://cards.deckstats.net/magiccard.php?utf8=1&lng=en&card=Call+the+Gatewatch) is such a fun card to cast. Not super powerful, but a lot of fun.
• I would replace Ascend from Avernus (https://cards.deckstats.net/magiccard.php?utf8=1&lng=en&card=Ascend+from+Avernus) with Out of time (https://cards.deckstats.net/magiccard.php?utf8=1&lng=en&card=Out+of+Time). Ascend from Avernus (https://cards.deckstats.net/magiccard.php?utf8=1&lng=en&card=Ascend+from+Avernus) is a dead draw the first 8 turns of the game, which happens to be the length of most edh games
• Liquimetal Torque (https://cards.deckstats.net/magiccard.php?utf8=1&lng=en&card=Liquimetal+Torque) combos with Dack and Nahiri
• Whirlwind of thought (https://cards.deckstats.net/magiccard.php?utf8=1&lng=en&card=Whirlwind+of+Thought) is a bit redundant, I mean you are running 20+ value engines already (the PWs) so you could replace this with Verge Rangers (https://cards.deckstats.net/magiccard.php?utf8=1&lng=en&card=Verge+Rangers) which is an excellent blocker and way to avoid missing land drops.
  

Please let me know if you would like more detail or elaboration, I love discussing Jeskai superfriends

Some of these inclusions are for combos! Any mana-positive rock, T3feri, and Displacer Kitten (https://cards.deckstats.net/magiccard.php?utf8=1&lng=en&card=Displacer+Kitten) draw my deck and make a lot of mana, Teferi, who slows the sunset (https://cards.deckstats.net/magiccard.php?utf8=1&lng=en&card=Teferi%2C+Who+Slows+the+Sunset)+peregrine dynamo+rock makes infinite mana and life, and jace, cunning castaway (https://cards.deckstats.net/magiccard.php?utf8=1&lng=en&card=Jace%2C+Cunning+Castaway) can do some silly stuff with oath of Gideon (https://cards.deckstats.net/magiccard.php?utf8=1&lng=en&card=Oath+of+Gideon) effects. But you’re right, the last option is a bit weaker. Thank you for the suggestions!
