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 hundred and fifth challenge!
The winner of the “Tribal Mechanics“ poll was ZephyrPhantom with...
 | {Comments}I've always wanted to build a deck around Nova Chaser since it came out, so this is a shoutout to me of about a decade ago. This deck primarily focuses on using Incandescent Soulstoke to manipulate the ETB and LTBs of cards like Flamekin Harbinger and Spitebellows when combined with Nova Chaser to keep the field clear while you whack face with high-damage Elementals. If you're stuck against bigger behemoths, Crater Elemental can be turned from removal into a big beater of its own in a pinch. Flamekin Village helps give a large part of our deck haste to start chasing novas one turn earlier. Because some of these cards haven't been really printed often, it's a little more expensive than a typical budget deck list at around 33 USD. A slightly more budget build loses the Flamekin Village and Nova Chaser to try and go a little lower to the ground with Lavacore Elemental, though you can arguably replace this and 4 Mountains with any big Red power>toughness creature like Ball Lightning. |

ZephyrPhantom said:
Create a deck that relies on an external game piece or minigame. This includes (but is not limited to):- Using cards that create minigames like Goblin Game, Photo Op or Jalum Grifter.
- Playing subgames like Enter the Dungeon
- Using a dungeon
- Playing Planechase
- Making a deck meant to go with the Explorers of Ixalan boardgame
(So long as you make it feel like you are playing a minigame 'outside' Magic as part of the game, it will most likely fit. Be creative!)
Please provide a decklist using deckstats, tappedout or similar. Feel free to add some comments as they will be included in the final poll. Please provide a deck name as well as choose a card to represent your deck in the poll.
And now, time to begin the challenge!
Best of luck, competitors!
"When in doubt, do a common."
