Eloniel on Asking Help about Theros lore …

The "Island" in Eagle of the Watch i've find a place named "One-Eyed Pass" in described like this: "This outpost has been carefully chosen by the Stratians for a particular reason: the abundance of cyclopes. They funnel their enemies into the pass, using the cyclopes who aggressively defend their territory as a gauntlet of certain death."

I also want to use Unravel the Aether, in the same guide there a place named Pharagax Bridge "The Stratians defend this huge stone bridge with all their might against any who would enter Akros without the king's permission. Some claim that the massive chasm it spans leads to the Underworld, and that foul creatures emerge from its depths."

What do you think about my two hypothesis ?

I also want to show Purphoros's sacred peak thi placed is in the flavor text of Magma Spray and i think this peak is the art of Peak Eruption

I don't know where are located there:

-Mana Confluence

-Astral Cornucopia

-Voyaging Satyr

-Ephara's Radiance Meletis Temple of Ephara ?

-Rollick of Abandon

-Plea for Guidance

I will have at least one location for these gods: Helios, Nylea, Karametra, Iroas, Keranos, Kruphix

I could not find artwork for the cities of Odunos and Asphodel... I will use Black Oak of Odunos but i can't find official artwork for th cities.

It's the same for Phoberos and Oreskos...

Thanks for your help ! =)

I've several other change i want to make/card easier to add, i will list every change for the v2, if you have ideas for other location i'm open to suggestion ^^

Hi everyone, this is a crossover subject with customs cards section, i tought that if i posted everything here it would be against rules.

I want to make lore accurate planes cards, to begin with Theros. I've alredy made 37 and i want to know if i've made mistakes, if some locations (for witch officials arts exists) are missing, if i'm wrong when i said that temples of adoration, enlightenment and providence are in Akros, Meletis and Setessa cities, this kind of things. What is the name of the island on: Eagle of the Watch

I explain my project with images of the cards here:

Thanks ! :)

Eagle of the Watch isnt that good. I would recommend putting in 4 Squadron Hawks instead. I would highly recommend taking out End Hostilities. It does the opposite this deck wants to do. Only boros charm activates Blaze Commando so its not that good in this deck. Heir of the Wilds isnt very good either. you really need ferocious to make it good and there is almost nothing to enable it. Personally I love Hanweir Militia Captain  Flip and would add 2. Your land base is really diverse but instead I would just make all your duel lands to gain lands, their strictly better and barely cost anything. Titanic Growth doesn't really fit in this deck because you don't have any large creatures that don't have trample besides possibly Hanweir Militia Captain  Flip or Tajic, Blade of the Legion I would recommend adding Trumpet Blast to finish the game.

Like Verbatiam said, you should have at a maximum 60 cards in your deck. To help you get there, let's start by removing the worst cards.

  • Armory Guard: This guy doesn't have enough power and toughness for his cost, and his ability is irrelevant since you have no gates in your deck.Hundred-Handed One would fill armory guard's job in a much better way.

  • Aven Battle Priest: As above, he isn't powerful enough for his cost. Creatures with a cost of 6 mana should usually be good enough to win you the game if they are left unchecked, which this guy does not. A classic example of a winning 5-drop is Serra Angel.

  • Ephara's Radiance: there are much better ways to gain life than this enchantment. It will usually be a dead card and you will be much better off without it. You already have Chaplain's Blessing which is much better for the same cost.

  • Common Bond: As good as the art is, this card just is not worth it. It only gives a minimal boost and would need to cost less to be remotely good. Strength of the Tajuru is a more costly but better version of this.

  • Greatsword: instead of using so much mana to give a creature +3/+0, you should focus on casting the creatures you already have in the deck. Behemoth Sledge is much stronger despite giving one less power, since it gives evasion (the trample ability), which is very important, and lifelink which is great at keeping you safe.

  • Griffin Sentinel: This one might deal a bit of damage and block some, but the advantage he gives you is definitely not worth the mana. For example, Deadly Recluse and Omenspeaker do a much better job on defence.

  • Eagle of the Watch: This creature is too small for its vigilance ability to matter and will be killed the first time it blocks. Not worth your mana. The Spectral Shepherd you already have is better than this.

One thing you will need to learn to build a strong deck is to evaluate cards and cut off the weaker ones. A rule of thumb is that any creature card with a power and a thoughness lower than its mana cost needs to have good abilities to be worth putting in a deck. For example, no one runs Gray Ogres, since they are garbage, but some decks might use Gigantomancer, a 1/1 for 8 mana, for its incredible ability.

The best way to evaluate cards is by playing them, and so it is in games that you will notice which cards you should cut from your deck.

As a final note, the average amount of lands for a deck is 24 out of 60, or 2/5 of the deck.

I hope this will be helpful to you and that you will have a blast playing Magic!
