Planeswalkers have a chance to really do something in standard thanks to a few key walkers. I'm going to post a Junk Superfriends, Bant Superfriends, and Bug Superfriends deck and ask you to help me refine them and pick the one that has the best chance of making an impact! Thanks for replying in advance!
~Update 1~
BANT - Removed Confluence, add more basics and few scrys. Changed up the sideboard to include Supreme Verdict. Used a forth Sphinx's Revelation.
JUNK - Removed The Chain Veil, Removed a Stain the Mind from SB and Put a Hero's Downfall in Its place. Put in two Hero's Downfall MB.
~Update 2~
JUNK - Replaced an Underworld Connection with elixir of immortality.
~Update 3~
JUNK - Switched Liliana Vess to Sideboard and put a Vraska the Unseen in her place. Removed all 3 Banishing Lights to put in the second Vraska the Unseen and 2 Sign in Blood. Swapped the Elixir of Immortality with a Doom Blade.
Liliana Vess is a great card and all, but, would not Jace, Architect of Thought assist better in your MB v SB? I also noticed that you are not running one copy of Hero's Downfall in your 75 ... is there a logical reason why?
BANT: I had completely forgotten that Supreme Verdict even existed. Where I play control has died out and Aggro has become supreme while combos are right behind it. I thought about Mana Confluence and you were right I need more basics. As far as Advent of the Wurm goes I have still decided against it, I'd still rather have my draw and let my Superfriends do my killing.
BUG: I honestly would rather have my Liliana Vess over Jace, Architect of Thought simply because she lets me grab my Needs easier than he lets me. I have no real use for Hero's Downfall in there because I've got my counters both MB and SB for their walkers and my walkers to deal with their bigger creatures that Abrupt Decay and Thoughtseize don't get rid of.
JUNK: I agree with putting Hero's Downfall in here since I do not have access to counters. I also agree with The Chain Veil being unnecessary, I was just kinda attached to it. The 4 Underworld Connections in there help me draw when i have open mana or when I just plain need a draw. As far as the SB goes Stain the Mind will help against those nasty combo decks and I tend to face a few dredge decks every Friday.
Again, Thanks for the reply and feel free to reply to this or the decks again!

Evolving Wilds w/ only 5 basic lands, also Mana Confluence in a BANT shell is a no go (It's just a better option to run more scry/duel lands or hell, Mutavault. A BIGGY issue, there is not one copy of Supreme Verdict in the 75 however, you have two copies of Aetherspouts and two copies of Polymorphist's Jest in the SB? Have you considered dropping a few copies of Advent of the Wurm in the deck and/or adding another Sphinx's Revelation (they are pretty cheap at the moment).
In your BUG deck:
Liliana Vess is a great card and all, but, would not Jace, Architect of Thought assist better in your MB v SB? I also noticed that you are not running one copy of Hero's Downfall in your 75 ... is there a logical reason why?
In your JUNK deck:
Again, not one copy of Hero's Downfall in your 75 ... however, you are running 2x copies of The Chain Veil and 4x copies of Underworld Connections, can you explain your reasoning? Also, Vraska the Unseen, Stain the Mind, and Tormod's Crypt in the SB ... why? There are FAR better options one can be running in their SB v those. Also, 2x copies of Urborg, Tomb of Yawgmoth...seems like overkill to me.
Take what I say for what it is, this is what I would change to your deck lists.
BANT: I had completely forgotten that Supreme Verdict even existed. Where I play control has died out and Aggro has become supreme while combos are right behind it. I thought about Mana Confluence and you were right I need more basics. As far as Advent of the Wurm goes I have still decided against it, I'd still rather have my draw and let my Superfriends do my killing.
BUG: I honestly would rather have my Liliana Vess over Jace, Architect of Thought simply because she lets me grab my Needs easier than he lets me. I have no real use for Hero's Downfall in there because I've got my counters both MB and SB for their walkers and my walkers to deal with their bigger creatures that Abrupt Decay and Thoughtseize don't get rid of.
JUNK: I agree with putting Hero's Downfall in here since I do not have access to counters. I also agree with The Chain Veil being unnecessary, I was just kinda attached to it. The 4 Underworld Connections in there help me draw when i have open mana or when I just plain need a draw. As far as the SB goes Stain the Mind will help against those nasty combo decks and I tend to face a few dredge decks every Friday.
