Lovecraft-themed Mill deck, including reanimators and some Eldrazi, mostly the flavorful ones.

A handful of cultists are gathering artifacts to call forth the Great Cthulhu, that He might crush their enemies and steal their magics.

individual card flavors

Sygg - my pick for Deep Ones representation

Halimar Depths- R'lyeh

Geier Reach Sanitarium - Arkham Asylum

Thespian's Stage - King in Yellow (also combos with Dark Depths)

Nephalia Academy - Miskatonic Uni.

Spawnsire of Ulamog - Shub-Niggurath, Black Goat with 1000 Spawn

Haunt of Hightower - Night-gaunts

Stitcher Geralf - Herbert West

Undead Alchemist - Joseph Curwen, from Case of Charles Dexter Ward

Necrotic Ooze - Shoggoth

Dimir Keyrune - the cursed idol from The Hound

Cryptolith Fragment - Color out of Space

Ashiok looks like Nyarlathotep, while Ulamog is THE Crawling Chaos

The Cult includes Brine Shaman (that flavor text!), selhoff occultist, archaeomancer, and shadowmage Infiltrator, with the Shapeshifter Lazav being their leader.

Curse of the Bloody Tome and Tamiyo's journal support the theme of books and forbidden knowledge, and Grimoire is straight up The Necronomicon.

All snow basics are to enable Marit Lage's Slumber, but have yet to get it to go off. I use the From The Vault Marit Lage token with the flavor text
