I've been looking into Atraxa decks since she was spoiled. I haven't been crazy about the lists I've seen posted, so I decided to start my own. The list looks to play a midrange-leaning-control game plan, and I have put effort into ensuring its resilience, and that it's got a focused game plan.
Cool list. Your commander's card tag is broken - I didn't know it either, but the word "Praetors'" is plural possessive; the apostrophe is after the "s".
Thanks. I've cut him for now, but I think I still like the consistency of a "second" Ghave. I like the idea of stealing counters, and I find that Atraxa can be lacklustre if you've only got a couple counters to proliferate.
Thanks for the suggestions! I tried Reyhan, and found that she doesn't do as much as I'd like. A lot of the time when stuff is dying, it's a Wrath of God. It may be different in a more combat heavy meta, and she's definitely a card I'll be keeping my eye on.
I honestly think Mazirek doesn't do enough for us. We're not making people sacrifice too often, and we don't do enough with Well, I just reread Mazirek, and thought it only added counters to her. She will see play in my deck. Thanks for the suggestion! I don't like her as much in this deck as a Ghave deck like my friend's, but maybe I'll just cross my fingers and hope he doesn't notice that she exists.

I'll definitely have to find a place for Dictate. I love Gravpact, and have been considering Dictate for a while. Sword seems great, but I'm not sure it fits here. I guess there are definitely times when I can use all my mana, but there are times when I can't. I guess I'll have to test it out for sure.
Thanks everyone for the great suggestions! I'll trim down my list, find room for the suggestions and post again when I'm done. In the mean time, if any one else has an Atraxa deck they want critiqued or just to show off feel free.

The list went through a large revision that I'm really happy with. I changed a lot of cards, reviewed how I tune the deck (to now have a running list of test cards instead of jamming everything in a making cuts from there), and it feels a lot smoother.
Obviously with 4 colours there are so many options and it will be a couple years before the list settles down, I'm sure.

Only card I'd consider adding is Dictate of Erebos, and maybe a Sword of Feast and Famine, since it looks like you'll have plenty to do with all that mana.
