Anyone who spends 5 minutes looking for a card in their deck should be attacked. My turns are usually thought up befor it is my turn. I have people think about what to do with cards in hand on their turn. One card should not change your entire game plan unless it is a winning move.
Even if i get wheeled eot before i go. My turn does bot slow down much.
When i tutor. I usually have a card in mind. It may change while j am searching, but board state usually says "you need this card, go find it" usually a board wipe
I am okay with wishes, but if i want a wish board. Show me before game what you can wish for. If o played spawnsire. I would have a small box with one of each eldrazi. I am not going to go win with battle of wits (but in edh, that would awesome.)
On paper wishes are good.however when it comes to gameplay, not so much. And if you go with your collection, what about spawnsire of ulamog? If you are running a 5 color deck that has spawnsirr, if you pull off his ultimate. That is like what 30 cards? Plus changelings. You do jot have to be running tribal, but your deck becomes tribal.
My Jhoira Deck can win turn 1 (Constantly), very seldom do i have people not scooping by turn 4 if I have not yet won.
Only a few cards in deck are expensive (Sadly, they are the cards that make the deck work.)
It is in fact a storm deck though. Storm Eggs actually. (Well actually eggs that abuses a few storm cards like Aetherflux Reservoir. (Which is not really a storm card but works on the same principal)
I guess who could cut the more expensive cards and just run eggs storm, cutting the black.
With sharuum, Bitter ordeal is all you need, but it is an infinite combo you are going after which make it boring. If you go Sharuum, go for a deck that has many win cons and use bitter ordeal as ONE of them.
Rings of brighthearth and basalt monolith generates infinite colorless mana.
As for win cons. Casting big fat eldrazi can be a win con on its own. However you will be playing a lot or artifacts, blinkmoth urn can generate you a LOT of mana.
The deck i ran could get kozi out as early as turn 3.
Other win cons are things that can do x damage. Like rocket launcher. You could also run darksteel reactor as a win but that takes 20 turns to go off. Too long. Luxkily you also have access to dark depths. With mana generation, that is an early 20/20
Aether Flash, but beware that there's some kind of infinite, game-ending combo with one of the dinosaurs, whichever one whose Enrage ability is to copy itself.
Which is why krosan grip is also needed. Once you have a million (wkth haste) krosan aether flash. Its a win con i have seen (a bad one but it has worked. Well actually he used multiple enchantment destruction spells, it is just a bad set up.
I get the idea and it seems nice, but you should widen the flavor to other creatures as well. Have a beast, or a Drake (Basically have a particular creature for each color.
In addition, i would restrict it to actually a different count, and instead of having the creatures be rideable, instead of a creature that can mount. I don't see the value of a beast or merfolk riding a horse.
I would do it thei way
Mount [creature]: and then some benefit for mounting the creature, maybe it gets two attacks or something like that. I feel it would be too difficult to incorporate a mechanic that work into a deck that requires both my way and your way, but I also think in terms of EDH.
Atraxa is a horrible uninspired keyword soup. It would have been fine with only flying, vigilance and proliferate.
I think the worst part about her is everyone still playing her under some impression that theirs alone is the sole unique Atraxa deck the world has been waiting to see.
You want to be/consider yourself creative? Go play a Kamigawa uncommon or something new and underplayed.
when i play atraxa i actually ignore the proliferate. Sure it's fine and i can add some things that take advantage, but i pay attentuon the other 4 keywords. A 4/4 with flying, vigilance, lifelink and deathtouch for 4. That is powerful. Sure being WUBG almost guarantees turn 4, but that is a small setback.
I have seen a few stax decks that run her. She has .ore builds if people can get past the proliferate. Too many people gravitate towards that keyword. She has different builds.
I run atraxa in my superfriends deck, but in the 99. Ramos is my general offering 5 color and he is a decent beater.
War of the spark is infact a walker focused set every pre-release pack co es with a foil stamped walker
Where I’m going with this is even though atraxa is perfect we may end up with a legend that is 5-color super friend focused
why would they do tbat? I mean gameplay sure cool. We get a bunch of walkers, but it will probably be like dominaria in which you are guaranteed a legendary creature, but it might be an uncommon.
As for lore, i thought the walkers were stuck and with the immortal sun and planar bridge under bolas' control no one was getting in or out without his say so.
Serra's emblem seems broken. I mean I ran a PW deck with a bunch of indestructible creatures as blockers. Serra would allow me to make those blockers a survival condition. (My main wincon howerever was a lockdown.

Regardless of which one you use, I would be running a way to ult them the turn they come out. Doubling season.
If you go Mono red however, Run purphoros.
