Mahatma Gandhi. Wonder what kind of deck he'd play.

Einstein? I think he would play some sort of Izzet deck.

Assuming he would play well, Muhammad Ali. Aggro-control, most likely. :)

Jimi Hendrix
I betcha he'd play some trippy chaos deck
My GF said Bob Marley, who would play Naya (closest thing to rasta colors haha)

Sun Tzu. One of the greatest military geniuses in history. I would think he would run W/U since a general would want to control the battlefield down to the smallest detail. That would be fun.

To completely Godwin this thread, I wonder what deck Adolf Hitler would play. On one hand the military style he employed would suggest a Blitzkrieg-fast aggro deck, probably black/red with tons of Dash and haste effects. But the man himself would probably play a slower deck than that.
Anyways, I'd personally like to play Cleopatra Thea. She's probably play a weird but clever Blue/Green blue with snakes like Ohran Viper and possibly also Mind Control-style effects. Or maybe white/blue control, but eother way she'd be ferociously smart and take notes on my deck like a hawk.

@pookypuppy6I'm actually curious what Stalin would play.
me: Casting Teferi, Mage of Zhalfir. Response?
Stalin:

Definitely going with Carl Friedrich Gauss or Paul Erdos, both of whom would probably (successfully) run some crazy 5C combo thing.

Julius Caesar would probably play an aggressive Boros deck, probably with a lot of battalion cards, or some sort of RW heroic deck.

For me gandhi = Karn, Silver Golem.
Win by sitting around blocking stuff and causing "movements".

mpeach1 I think he would be playing Evolve (Experiment One, Cloudfin Raptor, Crocanura)
April 12, 2015 4:06 p.m.
@Wic_Uber I had thought about that, but he'd be smart enough to realize that evolution works best woth the appropriate environmental conditions, such as Corpsejack Menace

Jerry Garcia. I think he'd play some sort of pillow fort or turbo fog deck, so Bant.
April 12, 2015 4:23 p.m.
Koalamaster123 says... #22
John Lennon, who would definitely run mono white control/pillow fort. It would be full of cards like Pacifism.

I'd play against Adam. I figure he'd play some sort of Aggro Infect or Worldfire deck.
April 12, 2015 5:54 p.m.
Sigmund Freud would play the hell out of Pensive Minotaur.

Actually, I'd want to play the real D.B. Cooper, but I have no idea what deck he'd play.
April 12, 2015 6:52 p.m.
ThisIsBullshit - he'd play turbofog.
I'd like to play Jung. He'd play aristocrats for sure. He hated dem proles.

ChiefBell: If that were true, me and Ghandi would be bros. Fog is my favorite deck at the moment. XD

What about Harry Houdini? He'd probably play some sort of hexproof/unblockable deck with lots of Invisible Stalkers.

I'd play against Sigmund Freud and he would almost certainly play a blue based control deck, probably with a bunch of Mind Control effects.
