I've played a bunch of rounds of the new Bolas Archenemy and something I've found, whether it be just from lack of skill or the difference in how we should be playing this format, the bolas deck seems to be a lot more powerful than it should be (or at least with the scheme cards that, if a few are drawn early game can seriously impact the outcome) and/or the planeswalker decks seem underpowered or we've just had some very bad luck.
The synergy within the decks individually seems to be pretty good but I feel there are gaps in what can be offered. Ideally I want to make a bunch of other planeswalker themed decks that not only fill those gaps but also offer a bit more flavour and variety. Such decks would be something along the lines of maybe Jace Unraveler of Secrets (counter, bounce?) and Liliana Death's Majesty (gy interaction, discard, creature destruction) for a possible 5v1 scenario. Buff the bolas players starting health or slightly modify the deck to include some more powerful cards, not quite sure yet it'll require playtesting. I'm just not sure how to start with the Jace and Liliana decks, perhaps with a duel deck base and slight modifications? I don't want to make the decks too powerful, just even enough to fill the gaps and synergize with the others, no one deck should be able to beat the stock bolas one even without the schemes.
In addition to this I was reading up on other ideas, making decks using another trio that offers some more flavour, Ajani, Narset and Sarkan Vol. I would have no idea how to start with these to make it balanced but if someone could outline what each aspect they would cover and what planeswalkers would be ideal for it that would be fantastic.
Obviously the evolving decklists will be posted here if anyone else were to want to try it themselves.
Hi all, I was playing a match with a friend and I had a Insolent Neonate on the field, then attached a Skin Invasion to it. I wasn't quite sure whether I could do the following-

Sacrifice Insolent Neonate and discard a Senseless Rage, pay it's Madness cost and attach it to the now flipped Skin Invasion/Skin Shedder?
We eventually figured that it wasn't possible but I just want to double check. Cheers
