Welcome to the Deckbuilders' Challenge originally created by sdfkjgh! To participate in this Contest you'll have to design a deck along the contest guidelines and throw it into the arena with other competitors' entries! At the end of every two weeks, a winner will be determined by forum poll, and the winner decides the challenge for the next fortnight's Contest! Here we go, competitors: our seventy-third challenge!
The winner of the “What time is it? ADVENTURE TIME!“ poll was vizionarius with... |
(Commander)
{Comments}This is the deck that I started on way back a few weeks ago with the "exiles matter" challenge that I never finished/submitted... glad that it fits here too!
I highlight the Adventure cards in their separate grouping. |
And the challenge issued by our winner was... Every nonbasic card in your deck must start with the same letter. Bonus points for rarer letters! And bonuser points if all cards start with it (looking at you PISMF)! Here is a search that will come in handy, using regex: Cards starting with A and not Arena. And now, time to begin the challenge! Best of luck, competitors! |

Ah!! Good catch ZephyrPhantom ! That's a big oops! The only reason why that's even needed is for the A's, because of how Arena cards just have an A up front (honestly it feels like it's a mis-design in how those cards are stored in the database). |

A Pauper Prowess deck using only M's. Don't forget to mulligan until you've got a creature. |

X gon' give it to ya?Well, the problem is that there are 6 cards in there that aren't actual game pieces for traditional Magic, and of those that are left, 1's an Un- card, and 1's a Mystery Booster Playtest Card, so if you can make it work with only 21-23 cards, only one of which is a land (and that land doesn't even cover all your colors), then sure, X gon' give it to ya... #ShitpostingOnTheSevens

 A silly casual deck made way too expensive because of the need to use fetch lands to make it work. Plan is to survive to mid-late game to overwhelm with Worms (or Zombies), Woodland Champion, or Westgate Regent. Looks like Orcus lost his wand and Woodland Champion found it in the woods... she wanted to use it to harvest some Worms, but Zombies arose... she didn't mind though! She also likes to pretend to be an Elephant sometimes and trample over everything... the most fun is if her friend the Beastmaster also comes along to play. Whenever she comes along, the Worm harvest seems beefier! |

  Phantom Paladins of Pendelhaven(Budget)DecklistA budget deck that plays a variety of "Phantom" creatures like Phantom Nomad and then buffs them up with Paladin Class and Parapet to turn them into pseudo-indestructible weenie attackers and blockers. We include Pollenbright Druid as a way to quickly shore up a Phantom creature, and Pendelhaven/ Pendelhaven Elder to both have extra P/T buffing with Paladin Class and to get a bit of extra damage out of our near-death Phantom Creatures if Paladin Class or Parapet isn't out. The resulting deck is priced at ~25 USD. For ultrabudget, replace all nonbasics with Forests to cut the cost to around 9-10 USD. Sidenote: This seems like it could be an interesting format with some restrictions. I might bring this challenge up to my playgroup sometime. |

Is this the Wild Wild West? Not exactly, but close enough!  |
(Casual)
Every single card starts with the letter W. Is this cheating? Probably? Maybe? Who cares!  |
