Atraxa, Grand Unifier

Atraxa, Grand Unifier is a powerful value engine that tutors up to eight different card types when she enters the battlefield. Your gameplan is straightforward: ramp into Atraxa, resolve her, then immediately grab the best cards from your top ten—fixing your mana with lands, filling your hand with threats, or grabbing key combo pieces. Since she tutors so aggressively, you can build a focused midrange deck that leans into whatever synergies you want: planeswalker superfriends, aristocrats with sacrifice outlets, or a toolbox of creatures and enchantments. Atraxa's evasion and lifelink also make her a respectable threat that can close games through combat damage while you set up your engine.

The beauty of Atraxa is her flexibility. In casual tables, she often generates so much value that you're ahead on cards and mana regardless of what direction your deck takes. Focus on including diverse card types so her trigger always hits multiple categories, and lean into whatever theme appeals to you—whether that's recurring board wipes with control, chaining planeswalker ultimates, or swinging in for unblockable damage. She's forgiving because even a mediocre Atraxa trigger gives you several free cards, making her one of the most reliable value commanders in four colors.
