New series - MTG in Music!

Commander (EDH) forum

Posted on Sept. 13, 2015, 3:49 p.m. by thegigibeast

Hello all! Here I am attempting to create a deckbuilding series! Since it is the begining of the series, I will start by explaining it a little bit.

I was listening to music (to be more precise, I Am Machine by Three Days Grace) when I was inspired to create a Memnarch deck. So I decided to build it. Down this post will be a link if you want to take a look. Then I said myself: probably there are a lot of songs I am not aware of that would fit really well with a commander in particular.

The idea would be that every week, I build a new deck inspired by a song that I come up with or that is suggested by you guyz. If it is popular enough, I might also write a little primer in the description to make it more complete.

What do you guyz think? Would this be something you would be interested to see every week? Else I am still gonna be doing it for myself... But it would be fun to hear what you think about my idea!

Yeah, Demons is my favorite song of all time, and this is a perfect spot for it.

How do you like it xFyre_Flyex? It is a a bit of a draft and budget deck, but I think it would be working well!

Wow guyz, pretty much like all of your suggestions! Don't have time right now to build more decks, but I am gonna make more soon! Keep the suggestions going until then!

September 13, 2015 5:35 p.m.

This looks interesting. I'd like to see how far it goes.

Well guyz, it is gonna go as far as I have a public to suggest songs and commanders. Would you prefer to have a deck a week, or a slower and more in depth deck creation with a primer each time?

For a series, I think the primer version would be much more relevant.

It would be awesome to have you pick one song, then build a deck that corresponds to the lyrics and do a primer on that, that would be a really interesting series.

Maringam someone should make an Imagine Dragon series of decks- Gold and Demons like above, then maybe:

  • Radioactive: Rakdos suicide black

  • I Bet My Life: Near-Death Experience combo deck

  • It's Time: Mono- turn combo

  • Warriors: Self-explanatory boros aggro

@xFyre_Flyex @Maringam

According to your request, I am gonna make a series with a primer. It is gonna be called "MTG in Music" (duh) and I am gonna start by doing a cover of Imagine Dragons album, like you requested. Thanks for the feedback!

It would be nice that you talk about this to your friends/followers on T/O, so I could get a couple people viewing this and we might ask to get this featured if it is popular enough. Thanks for your support!

Awesome! Will do! :)

Oh, by the way you may want to see the string of music references made in the card creation challenge down in Custom Cards.

thegigibeast says... #29

Yep that would be nice if you could post a link!

October 12, 2015 8:34 a.m.

Sorry, don't know how to link forum threads, but it should be right there in the Custom Cards forum. For a little while yesterday there was a huge string of band references. The Mettalica one is broken.
