What I do is create the deck, share it into the Gathering, go to modify the post, copy the text inside, remove the original post than paste it into here. Real simple stuff. Easier than writing the code for it.

{Sorin, Lord of Innistrad}, a miserly, cold-hearted planeswalker, continues his stingy, greedy ways on Christmas Eve. He rejects a Christmas dinner invitation, and all the good tidings of the holiday, from his jolly pirate nephew, {Drogskol Captain}; he yells at charity workers; and he overworks his employee, Bob Moorland. At night, Sorin's former partner {Geist of Saint Traft}, dead for seven years, visits him in the form of a ghost. {Geist of Saint Traft}'s spirit has been wandering since he died as punishment for being consumed with business and not with people while alive. He has come to warn Sorin and perhaps save him from the same fate. He tells him that 3 {Lingering Souls} will come to him over the next three nights.

During the first {Midnight Haunting}, {Sorin, Lord of Innistrad} falls asleep and wakes up to find the {Obzedat, Ghost Council}, a collection of greedy, elderly spirits. The Ghosts show Sorin scenes from the past that trace Sorin's development from a young boy, lonely but with {Intangible Virtue}, to a young man with the first traces of greed that would deny love in his life. Sorin shows newfound emotion when revisiting this {Cavern of Souls}, often crying from identification with his former neglected self.

{Sorin, Lord of Innistrad} goes to sleep and is awakened by the {Drogskol Reaver}, a giant flying spirit with a life span of one day (and double strike!). He shows Sorin several current scenes of Christmas joy and charity, then shows him the {Moorland Haunt}. The Ghost informs Sorin that unless the future is changed, the Moorland's crippled and good-hearted young son, {Doomed Traveler}, will die. He also shows Sorin a fun party at {Hallowed Fountain}. Finally, a ragged boy and girl crawl out from the {Drogskol Reaver}'s robes. The Ghost calls them Ignorance and want, and warns Sorin to beware of Ignorance.

The silent, black-clad {Dungeon Geists} replaces the other ghosts. He shows Sorin several scenes of people discussing someone's death; no one seems pained by the death, and most are happy about it. Sorin does not know, however, who the man is. He learns that {Doomed Traveler} has died, but the Moorland's maintain their unity and love. Sorin finally discovers that he is the one who has died, being tragged in chains and is shown his {Watery Grave}. The overwhelming {Feeling of Dread} he expresses, he hopes that these scenes of the future can be changed, and vows to incorporate the lessons of the past, present, and future into his adoption of the Christmas spirit.

Sorin wakes up in his {Isolated Chapel} and learns that the whole adventure took only one night, not three, ‹it is Christmas Day. In addition to smiling and being friendly to everyone he sees, he sends a {Azorius Charm} to the Moorland's, gives a sizable {Orzhov Charm} to the charity worker he previously insulted, and has a wonderful time at {Drogskol Captain}'s party. The next day he gives everyone in the {Glacial Fortress} their own {Dimir Charm}. Sorin continues his kindly ways after Christmas, befriending everyone and becoming a second father to {Doomed Traveler}, who does not die. He never sees the {Lingering Souls} again, but he keeps the {Intangible Virtue} of Christmas alive in his heart as well as anyone.

My attempt at being Switzerland (which is also a cold snowy place). If no one can attack or destroy anything, deal damage to me or make me lose, it leaves everyone to just have a good time drawing until we all have no cards in library and end up tieing :)

But do you recall?
The most famous reindeer of all?

Rudolph the Red-Nosed {Great Sable Stag}!(Sable Stag!)
Had a very shiny nose (like a lightbulb!)
And if you ever saw it (saw it!)
You would even say it glows (like a {Mana Drain!})

And all of the other Sable Stags (Sable Stags!)
Used to laugh and call him names (like Pinochio!)
They never let poor Rudolph (Rudolph)
Join in any reindeer games (like Commander!)

Then one foggy Christmas Eve,
{Phyrexian Snowcrusher} came to say, (ho ho ho!)
Rudolph with your nose so bright,
Won't you guide my slay tonight?

Then all the Sable Stags loved him, (loved him!)
And they shouted out with glee, (yippie!)
Rudolph the red-nose {Great Sable Stag} (Sable Stag!)
You'll go down in history! (like {Jace, The Mind-Sculptor}!)

Merry Christmas everyone. I hope you enjoy my little project :))
