Overview:

This 5-color superfriends deck leverages Esika, God of the Tree/The Prismatic Bridge to cheat out planeswalkers and game-ending creatures. The core strategy focuses on rapid ramp to enable early Bridge activations, followed by overwhelming value from planeswalker ultimates and combo finishes using Doubling Season/The Chain Veil synergies. Key strengths include free spell protection suites and tutor density for combo assembly.

Primer:

Core Strategy:

1. Early Game (T1-3): Deploy mana dorks (Birds of Paradise, Bloom Tender) and fetch/shock lands to cast Prismatic Bridge by T3-4.
2. Mid Game (T4+): Use Bridge's free permanent cheat each upkeep to flood the board with planeswalkers like Teferi, Hero of Dominaria and Nicol Bolas, Dragon-God.
3. Win Conditions:
   • Infinite activations via Teferi, Temporal Archmage + The Chain Veil + 10+ loyalty
   • Immediate ultimates using Doubling Season/Deepglow Skate
   • Vorinclex, Monstrous Raider locking opponents' counters
   • Ugin, the Spirit Dragon/Nicol Bolas, God-Pharaoh board control

Mulligan Priorities:

• Keep hands with 2+ ramp sources and Bridge casting potential by T4
• Prioritize rainbow lands over basics
• Reject hands lacking early mana acceleration

Key Tips:

• Sequence planeswalker drops to maximize Bridge's random cheat (run 20+ valid targets)
• Use Enlightened Tutor/Demonic Tutor to find Doubling Season when <6 loyalty walkers are in play
• Protect critical turns with free counterspells (Force of Will, Fierce Guardianship)

Avoid Traps:

• Don't overcommit walkers before establishing protection
• Prioritize Teferi's Protection for wrath survival over reactive counters

Weaknesses:

Critical:

• Reliant on Bridge resolving (3+ removals cripple engine)
• Minimal graveyard recursion for key pieces

Moderate:

• Vulnerable to Blood Moon effects (despite fetches)
• Limited instant-speed planeswalker protection

Minor:

• High curve requires perfect mana sequencing

Most Important Cards:

• Doubling Season
• The Chain Veil
• Vorinclex, Monstrous Raider
• Deepglow Skate
• Teferi, Temporal Archmage
• Demonic Tutor
• Force of Will
• Fierce Guardianship
• Oath of Teferi
• Mana Confluence

Attribute Ratings:

Speed: 8/10

• T3 Bridge possible (T1 dork -> T2 ramp -> T3 Bridge)
• T4-5 ultimates with Doubling Season

Resilience: 7/10

• 8 free protects (FoW/FoN/etc)
• Weak to repeated Bridge removal

Consistency: 9/10

• 10+ tutors + Sylvan Library/Rhystic Study
• 23/99 cards directly enable Bridge value

Interaction: 8/10

• S-Tier counters/removal (Mana Drain, Swords)
• Lacks permanent recursion

Rating Justification:

The deck operates at cEDH-adjacent speeds (T3-5 wins) with Tier 1 protection and tutor density, but loses 1-2 points due to Bridge dependency and lack of instant-win combos. Outpaces optimized casual (5.5-6.5) through free spells and stax-resistant mana, but falls short of true cEDH's T1-2 consistency.

Power level: 7.5 - 8.0
