Musical Deck Building

[Anusien]

Here's the basic idea a few friends and I came up with.  Balance style and skill.  The basic idea is to pick one song by one band and come up with a 60-card deck (sideboard optional) that fits the deck.  Basic lands are free.  Bonus style points for being able to match specific lyrics from the song.  Here's my creation:

Code:

Disposable Heroes - Metallica
4 Bloodstained Mire - Bodies fill the fields I see, hungry heroes end
4 Wrath of God - No one to play soldier now, no one to pretend
4 Plataeu - Running blind through killing fields, bred to kill them all
4 Skullclamp - Victim of what said should be, a servant 'til I fall/Finished here, Greeting Death, he's yours to take away
4 Auriok Glaivemaster - Soldier boy, made of clay, now an empty shell
4 Leonin Den-Guard - Bred to kill, not to care, do just as we say
4 Leonin Shikari- Twenty one, only son, but he served us well
4 Glory Seeker - More a man, more stripes you bare, glory seeker trends
4 Goblin Sharpshooter - Barking of machinegun fire, does nothing to me now
4 Relentless Assault - Back to the front
4 Bonesplitter - Left to die with only friend, alone I clench my gun
8 Mountain
8 Plains

That's actually pretty cool.

[AceOfJacks]

I really like this idea.

However ... I think you might want to take out some of the 4 of and see if there are other unique cards .... just as an excuse to fit more lyrics into the deck.

and also consider Savage beating





Anyway ... I really give you props for this

[Un4givenKnight]

The WASP (Texas Radio and the Big Beat)-The Doors
7 Plains
10 Swamp
4 Scrubland- Live with us in forests of azure (the color in the background)
4 Eternal Dragon- no eternal reward will forgive us now...
4 Dawn of the Dead- For wasting the Dawn
4 Dark Ritual- With a backbeat narrow and hard to master
4 Pristine Angel- Let me tell you about Texas Radio and The BIG BEAT
4 Night's Whisper- I'll tell you bout the hopeless night
4 Buried Alive- the meager food for souls forgot
4 Akroma Angel of Wrath- the maiden with wrought iron soul
4 Parallax Dementia- Soft driven, slow and mad...
4 Death Speakers- like some new language
1 Enlightened Tutor- Some call it heavenly in its brilliance
1 Mox Jet- Out here we as stone (as in gem)...
1 Mox Pearl-immaculate
Any set of dots implies that the lyric finishes with the one for the next card.
This deck might be fun casually. The point, as you probably guessed, is to get Dawn of the Dead into play, and thereby reanimate something thats been previously buried, if you live that long.

[Pyromaniac]

Iron Maiden - Wrathchild

4 Dark Ritual - I was born into a scene
1 Necropotence - of angriness and greed
4 Duress - of dominance and persecution

4 Hypnotic Spectre - My mother was a queen
4 Hymn to Tourach - my dad I've never seen
1 Yawgmoth's Will - I was never meant to be.

2 Underground Sea - Now I spend my time
1 Demonic Tutor - looking all around
4 Illusionary Mask - For a man that's nowhere to be found,
1 Vampiric Tutor - Until I find him,
1 Demonic Consultation - I'm never gonna stop searching
4 Tainted Pact - I'm going to find my man
4 Phyrexian Dreadnought - gonna travel round.

CHORUS
4 Wasteland - Cos I'm a wrathchild,
1 Strip Mine - Well I'm a wrathchild,
4 Mishra's Factory - Yeh I'm a wrathchild

1 Ancestral Recall - Some say it shouldn't matter
1 Recoil - ain't nothing gonna alter
1 Time Walk - the course of my destination

2 Swamp - But I know I've gotta find
2 Snow-Covered Swamp - some seriaus peace of mind
1 Mind Twist - or I know I'll just go crazy
2 Underground Sea
2 Polluted Delta
2 Underground River

Sorry for the occasional weirdness in placing the cards with the lyrics, but it just suits better

[Limbo]

1 Yawgmoth's Will - I was never meant to be.

*Bows*

Fits it nicely

My first reaction to this was 'Sweet.' I always loved lyrics and doing stuff with them, and adding Magic to the mix just makes it better.

My next thought was, 'I need to do this using Tool's 'Jimmy' and Darksteel Colossus!' Yeah, I'm lame. But I might try it eventually. I could use Mycosynth Golem, too, for song-fitting as well as mad synergy pwnage. Woo.

This stuff is pretty cool. Im gonna try and make a deck like this too!!11!

PS: Metallica and Iron Maiden > All
