Altered Commander Deck - The Rise of the Scourge

[Dudecore]

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.

DUDDDEEEE THAT IS SICK BRO.

Now I have to do the same to my edh deck... I already have my altered commander, just need everything else changed.

[FlickerYourOwnIdentity]

Lol, you found the art I use for shade commander. (windrunner)

Nice job! :)

[Dudecore]

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.

That Ultimatum! 😍

[whitedrake]

Ohhh flavorful...:)

[Spencer Addington]

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!

[InfinitiveDivinity]

{Two-Headed Cerberus} as a Felhound perhaps?

EDIT: I mean {Underworld Cerberus}

[InfinitiveDivinity]

{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,

Updated with the decklist. Adding come cards today.
