Clash of Occupations! Modern deck building challenge.
Challenges and Articles forum
Posted on Dec. 6, 2014, 12:41 p.m. by UnknownDemon
Once again its time to Rise to the Challenge! This time our theme is creature subtypes.
Choose 1 of the following subtypes: Assassin, Warrior, Shaman, Cleric, Wizard, Knight, Archer, Soldier, Artificer, Rogue, Berserker, Scout, Druid, Samurai, Monk, Advisor, Barbarian or Spellshaper.
Make a 60-card Modern legal deck. All creatures in that deck must have the chosen subtype or it must be mentioned somewhere in its rule text. For example your Shaman deck can include Hearthcage Giant because it summons elemental shamans and your wizard deck can include Benthicore because it summons merfolk wizards.
Changelings are banned (but Mistform Ultimus isnt).
Each subtype can only be chosen once so if someone already posted his/her soldier deck you cant post your own.
Only 1 deck per user.
When 12 decks are posted the tourney shall begin.
Good luck.

I should pay more attention to the challenges forum.
Because who doesn't like Kor Soldiers?

I just want to say that it appears that no one knows of a concept called blocking.
January 21, 2015 2:55 p.m.
A three way? Uhh ok...
Why did soldiers not attack on T2?

Wizards had Delver of Secrets Flip and it could have killed Soldier of the Pantheon so my friend who was using soldiers didnt want to attack.
February 3, 2015 12:18 p.m.
Soldier of the Pantheon for Delver of Secrets Flip is totally a great trade in favor of Soldiers...and if I were the Wizards player I simply wouldn't have blocked because the trade wouldn't have been in my favor...
I just think the choices made could have been better, but it was a good game nonetheless!
