What does the deck do: The deck plays like a ramp/control or even aggro deck depending on the version and tries to get down doubling season resulting in creatures/planeswalker for insane value or straight up victory on the spot.

Win con/s: While considering doubling season doubling planeswalker loyalty points, i'm gonna mention the three likely best planewalker combos we have right now on arena (for a instant victory or close to it) but know there's more. creature variants exist but I feel like for historic they are just far too slow or just add in far too many dead draws that don't answer much.

1) Jace, Cunning Castaway = infinite tokens

2) Jace, Cunning Castaway + Nicol Bolas, Dragon-God = infinite tokens, jace/nicol bolas copies (since bolas can use jace's loyalty abilities), with those nicol bolas copies we make the enemy sacrifice their board and then -8 to win instantly.

3) Ugin, the Spirit Dragon or Nicol Bolas, God-Pharaoh + Nicol Bolas, Dragon-God = instant win (not allways the case with ugin but very likely)

Weaknesses: removal, aggro decks, thoughtseize, combo decks

ramp options:

1) nykthos, shrine to nyx + utopia sprawl/wolfwillow haven/old-growth troll and/or Sanctum Weaver if running alot of enchants or one could use manadorks mystic/lanowar/delighted halfling etc.

2) kiora, behemoth beckoner, utopia sprawl, wolfwillow haven, into the north, cultivate, explore, lotus cobra, reclaim the wastes, settle the wilds/dig up (both of which also act as tutors) and the likes.

3) Lotus field+discontinuity/stifle/strict proctor/blood moon.

4) gate lands/cards.

draw options: the one ring/enchantress's presence(if the deck contains mostly enchants)/up the beanstalk(if the deck runs mostly 5+ cost spells)/kiora, behemoth beckoner(if creature based).

Defensive options:

Boardwipes: 4 - 8 of whatever you prefer, it wouldn't be bad to be in white to have the likes farewell/sunwell/divine purge/doomskar/Settle the Wreckage or red for the cheaper 3 cost brooderhood's end/anger of the gods or azorious for Supreme Verdict (uncounterable) but also black isn't bad with languish or blood on the snow to revive a walker (in case we run enough snow lands). Ultimately what you use depends on the colors the deck runs.

Fog Effects: haze of pollen, root snare, commencement of festivities, moonmist, teferi's protection, eerie interference, one ring (which we could play together with meticulous excavation for a 7 mana per turn infinite fog effect, on top of that mericulous excavation could be used to bounce our planeswalkers back if need be).

Noteworthy Planeswalker options:

jace, cunning castaway: Infinite combo =doubling season on the field, cast jace, cunning castaway use the -5 jace makes "infinite" clones of itself and "infinite" creature tokens aswell, if nicol bolas, dragon-god is also played it allows for infinite copies of bolas aswell allowing us to also make the enemy discard and sacrifice all their permanents to the point we can use his -8 to instantly win the match.

tamiyo, field researcher: all usable abilities, her -7: draw 3 and omniscience emblem is insanely powerful synergizes very well with teferi, hero of dominaria

teferi, hero of dominaria: all usable abilities, his -8 is what we are here for, with all the draw this deck has in 2 or 3 turns we are likely to have exiled all major threats/lands the enemy has, synergizes very well with tamiyo, field researcher

Wrenn and Realmbreaker: great abilities, cheap, in color and amazing -7 NB: IF one had 2 mox ambers while having wrenn's emblem = infinite mana.

Wrenn and Seven: while the abilities aren't allways amazing and the casting cost might be too much, the +1 and 0 helps us ramp (although if we can cast this we likely don't need to ramp much anymore, the -3 makes for a amazing meatshield and the -8 is amazing if our graveyard is big

Tamiyo, compleated sage: usable kit, we probably care the most about her -x to pick back up doubling season OR another planeswalker from the graveyard, aside of that she isn't great, her -7 is neglectable

ugin, the spirit dragon: all abilities are great (if using low level enchantments as ramp his -x might be detrimental to your own mana)

nicol bolas, dragon-god: if his coloring/cost isn't a problem he should be played to some extent as all his abilities are great, combo with doubling season + jace, cunning castaway OR ugin, the spirit dragon OR Nicol Bolas, God-Pharaoh for a ista win.

Liliana, dreadhorde general: all her kit is usable and her -9 wins games

samut, the tested: -7 tutors for 2 creatures/walkers often resulting in a won match specially if under the effect of doubling season (in the case of planeswalkers for example: nicol, bolas, dragon-god + jace, cunning castaway or ugin, the spirit dragon. the other samut, the tested abilities are weak and not what we are after generally.

Nicol Bolas, God-Pharaoh: hes great although hes quite hard to cast on his own (samut can help with this), his whole kit is bonkers.

Valki, God of Lies/tibalt, cosmic impostor: if we are in color the modality offers us alot of options but it's tibalt's we are really after as his whole kit (specailly his -8) is amazing. (be aware that storm the festival will only allow us to cast valki).

nahiri, the harbinger: -8 tutors for any artifact/creature rest of her kit's also usable

kaya, the inexorable: her whole kit is good and her -7 allows you to tutor and play for free legendary, the negative is that this effect happens at the beginning of each of your upkeeps meaning she essentially does nothing when she lands on the battlefield IF used exclusively for her -7

Tasha, Unholy Archmage: great vs creature matchups because of her +1 but her -6 isn't allways great

Nissa, Who Shakes the World: her passive gives us mana, +1 is nice to chompblock, her -8 removes all the forests from your deck, the issue is her -8 by itself doesn't win you the game, her chompblocker is meh, because of her cost, her ramp come into play usually when you don't need it anymore and at this point you would have rather had some other planeswalker instead, specially with doubling season on the field.

Nissa, Vital Force: great kit + makes you realiably chompblockers, -3 makes you able to pick backup a boardwipe or like a doubling season you desperately need and her -6 makes your land drops not dead BUT she doesn't win you games and you would likely want another planeswalker to combo with doubling season

the rest of the walkers ain't on arena yet, are too expensive, are too offecolor or feel like they would't achieve too much for a walker (for creature centric doubling season decks there are some other synergistic planeswalkers of course).
