Pioneer - SuperGates and Friends

Superfriends in standard sounded like a pipe dream, until now. Let's it break down!

Both image and image ramp us significantly into our big scary threats and planeswalkers. 

The planeswalker choices are quite interesting... 

The obvious ones like image and image are in here to make an army of servos and alot of loyalty and +1/+1 counters.

image is just a self contained win condition. If he resolves with at least 4 other planeswalkers down he wins the game (if the don't have Settle the Wreckageimage of course) 

image is probably the best planeswalker we have access to. Starting at 7 loyalty and then letting us play gates untapped and casting our spells on curve for a couple turns really pushs this version ahead of gate decks in the past.

image is great against any deck running The Elderspellimage making the best 2 mana planeswalker killer an absurd amount of mana. 

Most of our other 3-4 drop walkers are for utility in certain matchs (Narset, Parter of the Veils v control, Teyo, the Shieldmageimage/The Wandererimage for aggro and burn, Tamiyo against discard, etc.) 

image let's use have recurring proliferation for our uncommon walkers with no plus. Also, makes image considerably better if you have even 1 planeswalker left.

image is self explanitoy. It's just a great card draw engine.

image and image serve the same purpose in letting us survive against aggro decks and the like.

image is great as we can grab any 2 planeswalkers we need for any situation. Opp has a Rekindling Phoeniximage well I'll just ignite the bacon grabbing The Wandererimage and Sarkhan the Masterlessimage. We'll talk more about these situations in the sideboard guide.

Now let's talk about the card that I think is being vastly underrated...
That is of course image 
I've hit an 18/18 T5 dropping this and the swinging for 25 tample the very next turn. Aggro can't really deal with anythig this thicc. Sure,Spark Harvestimage is a great card and will definetly see play in those builds, but if you have a Kasmina online spark harvest will end up costing them an entire turn and a creature 99% of the time or if you have Saheeli when it comes down haste is an issue those decks can't deal with to well. Contol will obliterate your hydra though so counterspells in the sideboard are a great thing.

Sideboard will be updated once we get a glimse into the WAR meta, there will also be a sideboard guide coming with that update.
