DECK DESCRIPTION CONTAINS BLOODBORNE SPOILERS

A Bloodborne-themed Commander deck inspired by the card Daring Sleuth. The cards in this deck prioritize Bloodborne-related flavor, themes, art, and parallels above other qualities. The deck has a bit from most every section of the video game; its creatures focus on Vampires, Werewolves, and Humans (Wizards and Rogues especially). I chose Yarok the Desecrated as the commander because I wanted a Nightmare or Horror to be a Great One Commander, and because Bloodborne's themes are very blue and black in my opinion. I chose legendary creatures, especially Kraken, Nightmares, Horrors, and Leviathans, for Great Old Ones. There are many, many cards I cut from my list of Bloodborne-inspired cards; more than enough for each section of the game and each creature type to have their own deck with other Commanders! Vampires and Werewolves would benefit from having red in the deck. For exmaple, Olivia Voldaren would make a good Queen Annalise. I think Grixis colors would work well for a Mensis focused deck.

Mechanically, the deck has mechanics synergy for milling self and opponents, gaining +1/+1 counters, life gain, and enter the battlefield effects, with a good amount of removal and ramp, and a bit of tribal support for its creature subtypes.

• Enter the Battlefield Effects: 14
• Removal Effects: 8
• Mill Effects: 7
• Mana Ramp Effects: 7

Below is a list of the Bloodborne connections that I associated with these cards. I made parallels to a lot of Bloodborne's characters, but due to space did not include all of them. Are there any other legendary creatures you think are closer parallels?
