This is a deck created in many different veins; it serves as primarily a challenge fulfilled deck for kamarupa, who issued me the task to build decks corresponding to Horrors.
The most crucial element of this deck is a creeping dread and uneasy-ness about the cast. All of them seem un-wittingly apart of some greater operation.. why does this deck look so funny? Because it's meant to operate funny. The cast and crew give way to a giggle-fest for the user, that by the time the opponent realizes what's up.. they'll wish that they had main-boarded grave-hate.
The main cast member I love and cherish is Tonberry, who is of Final Fantasy fame. More on that later. The core principle of the deck is to keep this goofy guy around as fodder, as the best pawn you could possible pull up with.
The next stages involved some jumping through hoops and potentially using our noodles to time the Shadow of the Grave precisely when we need it.
If all goes well, you'll have large creatures swinging in by turn , and creeping power upwards after that.
A collaboration
This deck is a part of a collaborative effort with kamarupa and Balaam__ to create decks centered around Horrors. This one is my more competitively driven attempt in creating a short-list, and it is the more unique and original idea of the two I had created for this challenge. I really enjoyed kind of building a deck around one of my favorite fictional characters, and it just so happened to really benefit me in this challenge. Cheers!
ooooOOOoOOOooOOooOO...
So i know of Tonberry from very spooky parts of the Final Fantasy games and I love this little concept I have of a little dude surrounded by a gaggle of larger, older Horrors/Demons/Stuff that are all just like.. this little dude? the reaper..? alright.. I guess..
..so everybody is just kinda trying to keep this kid around and not let him get himself killed or whatever, so Not Dead After All is a flavor win in that regard (imo), but I also really love the idea of Ghosts nnsh#$%t flying around (Street Wraith) and I sincerely love the aesthetic of this deck! It really seems to work for itself, from Shadow of the Grave to the Phyrexian Tower. I just love how the concept shaped itself out.
