Four Letter Deckbuilding Challenge
Challenges and Articles forum
Posted on June 6, 2015, 9:48 p.m. by zephramtripp
The Challenge : Build a deck where the name of every card contains a certain set of four letters, chosen by yourself, excluding basic lands.
For example, let's say I chose "aing". Then the only card I could use would be Braingeyser.
Otherwise, normal deck construction rules apply. There is no banned list for this challenge.
After about three weeks, I will place all the decks in a tournament to determine which is the best.
Have fun! I will try to answer any questions about this challenge as best I can.

Do the letters have to be in order? For example, if I choose the letters "Tail" is Dragonlord Ojutai a viable choice?

To give some inspiration, from just searching, I think there could be a good "orce" deck, a decent "mind" deck, and a viable "call" deck.

Huh? Is there a layman's explanation for us plebs? Also look how far last challenge went with no incentive to win.
