Dedicated to the psychedelic rock band, King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard

Initially inspired by cards like Frilled Mystic and Parhelion II , the choices are based on both the band's moniker (Royalty, Birds, Lizards, and Wizards) and their sprawling discography. I wanted to make a deck with some strategy behind it (+1/+1 counters and proliferate) but flavour took priority over function for some picks

Every card in the deck represents an Album or Song with at least one card representing each album.

Bias was given towards albums that I listen to on a regular basis. Not every song was given a card (there's like 200+ songs) and not every card was the #1 flavour choice for the song, given that I was restricted to just White, Blue, and Green. Perhaps one day I (or someone else) will upgrade this to a 5 colour deck with Kenrith, the Returned King as the commander.
