I wanna make a Atraxa deck, but themed on the concept of all the cards "or as many cards as I can" that has the name of the card reference Disease, pandemics, quarantines, Lock downs etc. I think from another post I made before I got the idea to make a deck from this along with some other similar related posts I have a good start, but would also like to ask for suggestions for what might be good for not just this theme, but a good deck in general.

So far I have Atraxa, Praetors' Voice as my commander since I wanted to use both sprit link and Pestilence as a combo in the deck which is why I changed my mind about doing a Skithiryx, the Blight Dragon deck since Atraxa would open up the white I needed for Spirit link and also gives me access to Green which is commanders second strongest color next to also giving me Blue.

Cards I have in mind so far are Pox Spread the Sickness Quarantine Field Contamination Blightsteel Colossus Blighted Agent as well as all the other best infect creatures out there I can find. Engineered Plague Plague Wind Small Pox as a maybe? Then of course staples like the mana rocks and lands I will need. And of course I am going to do a little proliferating as well.

DemonDragonJ - Actually, Pestilence was one of mine, but yeah, I could see a few more hopeful cards being a part of this too. Forgot about a pestilence demon tho.

Could had sworn I made this post, but I guess not. Anyway, If Wizards wanted to do a fundraiser Secret Lair for the pandemic, what disease themed cards would you think should be in it or could be in it?

I think these would all make for a really super cool secret lair. Pox, Spread the Sickness, Pestilence - One of my favorite cards!, Contamination, Blightsteel Colossus

TypicalTimmy - The premise has UNset written all over it. Make your own monsters? This is obviously not a set but just a joke or a boardgame of some kind like how Unsanctioned turned out to be.

I think we are going to see the return of Banding or something similar to banding or the mechanic for contraptions, except for monsters. This has "causal set" written all over it and I doubt it will be standard legal like how unsanctioned was a disappointment.

You put armadillo cloak in this deck....good....good...Ya dun good boi.

Sephyrias - I was just looking at her and pondering a deck around her. But, the only thing I can think of is bounce effects to make her ability continuously trigger, but she can only do this once and couldn't stack stuff on herself. Green and white has lots of auras, but nothing game winning really that I can think of. I am going to say she is probably going to be a causal or mid level commander at best.

This is obviously a premium product not meant for the common player. Do we really want fetchlands to be cheap and affordable? I sure as hell don't, even premium reprints like this that are meant for the "whales" will decrease the price of fetchlands. It would be like if they decided to add The Tabernacle at Pendrell Vale Bazaar of Baghdad The Abyss Mox Diamond Black Lotus and the rest of power 9 along with making all of the original dual lands, fetch lands and shock lands common cards and putting all of that into a unlimited print run set for standard. Some cards need to be extremely rare and hard to get a hold of and permenantly expensive and rarely or never reprinted again to ensure that not every player can just have them in every deck they own. I think that is a big point of this that some people are missing is that they are not reprinting this as some common card like you want it to be for standard, it's for the whales and I for one cannot wait to spend, even as much as $250.00 to get my hands on this collection. Heck, give me an extra two weeks and I will three 350 at it to get my hands on it. It is going to look amazing as a display piece and the arid mesa is done by my favorite land artist.

I just saw the TCC video about this. All I got to say is....YES PLEASE!

This deck is $77.58
