I'm thinking about building an Elden Ring proxy deck (after watching this video), and this Atraxa I made would be a fun proxy commander for a poison deck. Do you have any deck recommendations or tips for building a deck that's not too toxic to play against and suitable for casual commander?

Alternatively, a -1/-1 counter deck would also be fun if that's a thing that exists (it doesn't have to be op).

wither is the mechanic that deals damage to creatures in the form of -1 counters, read my opinion above. the best payoffs just want you to stop your opponents from having any creatures. generally any strategy that stops your opponents from playing the game their deck was built to play is felt as stax (see smokestack) and I would discourage that for casual. The issue is that its not a very strong strategy, it has trouble closing out games, it just slows them down really in my experience.

Ah, my bad. Thanks for the responses! Maybe I'll try to find a fun superfriends deck.
