I updated both "War of the Planeswalker" PW decks to a kind of old school event deck.
Both are budget by design decks (3 single mythics, 9 single rares).
Aim is to play these 2 decks in head to head,and so I try to keep them balanced.
For the moment, I can't decide on the flavour of the decks:
- Orzhov Knight or Lifegain ?
- Simic Proliferate or Ramp/Manipulation
If you have any suggestion, they are welcome !
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
I updated both Ravnica Allegiance Planeswalker decks to a kind of old school event deck.

Hi Buckholms,
I would not be so strict. Planeswalker decks are good to take hands on magic for casual players.
But if you aim at competitive gameplay, be sure than almost all cards will be discarded.
I think you can first take some ideas here and there, buy budget cards, and present here your achievement.
I found this site interesting for getting competitive ideas : https://www.mtggoldfish.com/metagame/standard#paper
You will find some cards expensive, and they can be replaced by others, lesser efficient (that's what I've done in my PW Decks).
That an idea if you want to keep Golgari flavour in mind.
Else, you can construct an absolutely different deck like a Mono-Red or Izzet Drake, and replace the expensive cards, to get quickly results.

Thanks for your reply.
For the moment, I worked on a U/R Control for casual usage vs my girlfriend B/G Midrange.
And playing versus a control deck is very boring for her ^^
So, you guessed it, I will update this deck into mid-range like this one
I was afraid Enigma Drake was slow, but you convinced me !
I'd like to make a standard Izzet Drake deck, but Arclight Phoenix is too expensive.
Do you have any idea to replace it ?
Enigma Drake looks a bit slow.

Hi Ronnie328,
That's right a UW Exert would work very fine with this Jace.
I just wanted to keep merfolk flavour. I hope you will understand this point

Gruul one has lot of difficulties to beat Esper, do you have any ideas to counter it ?
Rethinking about your tempo/surveil idea, I remembered these dimir tempo decks:

https://www.reddit.com/r/MagicArena/comments/9whaha/dimir_tempo_71_win_rate_bo_1_thief_of_sanity/
Maybe could you take an idea from these deck and adapt it to Esper, with <card>Pteramander</card> ?

I'm not playing at competitive level, but locally with my girlfriend.
I improved both decks, with some constraints and we are passing a really good time for let say 10/20€ each deck (excluded base PW Deck price).
