Need Help With Ideas For Science Fiction Themed EDH
Deck Help forum
Posted on March 30, 2015, 9:08 p.m. by kiloken
Ever since I saw the image on Hanna, Ship's Navigator I have wanted to build an EDH around cards with similar art. The entire theme of the deck would be cheesy science fiction tropes that have been seen time and time again. Any help is appreciated. I'd like for the deck to be good, but that isn't as much of a necessity as it being a deck full of science fiction-y cards.
I would actually like to build it one day, but you can throw in any illegal suggestions if you want. It might help me find some sets that I would not have thought of otherwise that have art similar to Hanna's.

Mindless Automaton looks like a Dalek. The Eldrazi are very Cthulu. Geth, Lord of the Vault is very cyborg. Sheoldred, Whispering One looks like the giant spider from It. Platinum Emperion reminds me of The Day the Earth a Stood Still. That's what I have off the top of my head.

Venser, Shaper Savant or Venser, the Sojourner as the doctor and Conjurer's Closet as the tardis.

Half the cards from the Invasion set have sci-fi esque arts (Power Armor MUST make it in).

aeonstoremyliver: While I agree that Child of Alara is science fiction-y, I'm looking towards building a deck that has a cheesy science fiction feel to it. That card seems to me to be more of an alien life form from a more recent science fiction feel. I may end up building another science fiction deck based around more realistic looking arts after this one. I also kind of want a challenge in deck building, and I feel as though Child of Alara is just taking the easy way out, allowing me access to everything. However, I will consider it.

jandrobard: I agree with you about the inclusion of Power Armor, along with the fact that the Invasion block has a science-fiction feel to it.

Another card I was thinking of would be Chromatic Armor

I'm going to try and bring this topic back into rotation for the thread, so here's a link to the deck so far. Hanna's Science Fiction Adventure (Help Needed).

Do you actually want it to be a deck, or can I throw in illegal suggestions?
