Title: Altered Commander Deck - The Rise of the Scourge
Post by: Dudecore on October 31, 2013, 10:07:32 PM
I'm in the planning stages of my next EDH deck. So I decided the subject matter is going to be based on Warcraft Lore. I picked my favorite character, Arthas, and will be building a deck around his time as the Lich King of the Scourge. The art will all be subject to change, and the cards are all official Magic: the Gathering cards. The reason I kept certain creatures subtypes is because some cards may reference them, so I did not want to disturb the natural balance of the game or format.

Arthas, Lord of the Scourge

100 cards, 0 sideboard

Added some new stuff. Including some planeswalkers. I'm on the fence about doing a massive creature type update...I don't want to overpower it in a direction these cards were not intended to be exploited.

Thanks. I did some editing. Assigned appropriate credit to artwork authors (when available to me), changed the set symbol, moved some things ago.

Project will likely been drawn out for a little bit, hope to have it done in a year or so.

That's sick dude =] In Middle-High School I got pretty deep into Warcraft Lore. I own almost all of the paperback novels, and Warcraft III especially holds a very dear place in my heart. I spent many nights playing Footies/Risk/TD/DotA, customizing maps and jammin' the campaign. This is very impressive man. Well done!

{Two-Headed Cerberus} as a Felhound perhaps?

EDIT: I mean {Underworld Cerberus}
Title: Re: Altered Commander Deck - The Rise of the Scourge
Post by: InfinitiveDivinity on November 04, 2013, 12:55:38 AM
{Harvester of Souls} as a Felguard?
I think {Ashling the Extinguisher}/{Obsidian Fireheart}/{Ashling the Pilgrim} could be decent Infernals also. Just tossing ideas out there.

I'll post my actual deck list later today or tomorrow, and we could matchup some of the characters with cards in the deck, if you don't mind. I've got a deck list that is pretty close to what I want to make.

I don't exactly like including Mannoroth and Illidan, because they're Burning Legion. But the Scourge is basically ex. Burning Legion guys anyway, and Illidan has a history with Arthas,

How do you plan on getting the cards altered? Commissioned or yourself? Curious as I love altered cards or proxies of cards you own if they are down nice.

I haven't decided yet. I'm testing different methods now. Ordered from various sources (including our own WhiteDrake) then see which the best course of action is.

18 new cards.
36% complete

One thing I noticed is that your underground sea alter says basic on it... Not sure if that's the one you're going to use, but just so you know.

This looks really awesome!!

Yep. Was just messing with the templating. I'm going to go with original card names but altered art. Changing the names is too confusing.
