Oh boy, it's Negan, the Cold Blooded!

DirkGently · Post by **DirkGently** » 3 years ago

Really excited about this deck, and really glad that wotc picked such a well-written, relevant show that fits so nicely into Magic's aesthetics!

Anyway, here's my new deck! Tell me what you think, I tried really hard.

Negan, garbage fire

Creatures (23)

1 It that Betrays (Shockingly perfect inclusion on every metric)

1 Filth

1 Abomination

1 Minion of the Wastes

1 Wasteland Strangler

1 Ruin Ghost

1 Ruin Rat

1 Treacherous Pit-Dweller

1 Treacherous Vampire

1 Treacherous Werewolf

1 Vile Bile

1 Vile Manifestation

1 Mindless Automaton

1 Mindless Null

Enchantments (12)

1 Sicken

1 Blight

1 Murderous Betrayal

1 Forsaken Wastes

1 Waste Not

1 Words of Waste

1 Treacherous Blessing

1 Greed

Artifact (3)

1 Hammer of Ruin

1 Rod of Ruin

1 horn of Greed

Lands(24)

1 Encroaching Wastes

1 Wasteland

1 Dwarven Ruins

1 Emeria, the Sky Ruin

11 Wastes

Approximate Total Cost:

54 lands does seem like a lot, but I was having trouble finding playables with all this vomit in my mouth.

Good news, we solved the mana problem!

Ok now we're kind of going downhill in the other direction. Pretty quickly.

Eh, whaddyagonna do.

Can i suggest Mindless Automaton and Mindless Null ?

Well, Greed, Garbage Fire, Compost, Dismal Failure and Endless Scream could all go in such a glorious deck as well.

DirkGently · Post by **DirkGently** » 3 years ago

Greed, Endless Scream, Mindless Null, and Mindless Automaton are in. compost and dismal failure, though I love them, are out of color (rules is still rules).

Garbage fire was literally the first card I thought of for the deck. The synergy is so perfect with Negan <3

Varchild, Betrayer of Kjeldor and Varchild's War-Riders are both prefect flavor wise and mechanically for Negan.

Man this deck is going to be hard to build, so many options!

Post by **RxPhantom** » 3 years ago

Epic Downfall
Horn of Greed
Devouring Greed
Corrupt
Corrupt Eunuchs (lol)

Updated. Great suggestions all around.

This is so weird, usually I'm denying all suggestions, but for the deck I'm way more open-minded

I don't follow. Varchild kinda makes sense, but why War-Riders?

Good search term, though, adding some other betrayal-y cards.

EDIT: Oh man, you want a perfect marriage of mechanics and flavor, It that Betrays has never been more perfect.

Crawling Filth is also great. That art is just...*chef's kiss* Can we find more cards featuring vomiting? Ideally with on-flavor names.

Sicken also scoring high on name and art. Perfectly captures how I'm feeling right now.

Might actually have to start cutting cards at some point. Wish we had more lands but there's a depressing lack of lands featuring explosive diarrhea.

Nice, we should build multiple copies of this deck and send them to every single RC member and WOTC employee (I don't think sleeves are necessary?). Anyone have addresses? I will sell my collection to help fund this, lol

We will have to print some proxies of the commander though as I will not be giving WOTC money for that.

In all seriousness, I am um.... very disappointed. Watching Mitch from the Commanders quarters nearly break down in tears today and the Professor's recent video really drove the reality of this home. It's hard to put into words just how bad this feels. This very well may be remembered as the day magic officially died. That's what it feels like to me.

Yes, I literally looked through all 8 pages of lands on Gatherer. Some of these are heartbreakingly appropriate.

I do especially like cards that feature horrific or pointed artwork. Nothing like using Wizards own game against them. Smothering Tithe is a another fantastic inclusion.

RowanKeltizar · Post by **RowanKeltizar** » 3 years ago

Angry Mob
Bad Deal (love this one)
Bankrupt in Blood (Seb is one of my fav artists and this is such an apt piece of art!)

Blasphemous Act (perfect if I do say so)
Blessing of Leeches (hahaha - I like the leech theme because that is literally what wizards is doing to our wallets)
Blind Obedience (what I think of when I picture the RC talking to wizards)
Blitz Leech (more leeches, yay!)

Blow Your House Down (because magic is truly a house of cards)

Bring to Trial (if only)

Alright, I will be back with more later but I gotta take a break. This is fun! I might actually buy a budget version of this.

DirkGently · Post by **DirkGently** » 3 years ago

Lol, it might actually be possible to make this into a legitimate deck. In which case I guess the joke is on me.

I might add some of these later (and a lot of them do fit pretty damn well) but I have to admit that I'm losing a bit of steam on what was just a joke. I kinda feel like the game I love is going to die, or at least change in a really unpleasant way, and I'm starting to lose my righteous fury and slide down into despair.

RowanKeltizar · Post by **RowanKeltizar** » 3 years ago

I hear you. It really is very depressing. but I gotta channel my feelings into something.

A silly part of me hopes that we can turn this into a rebel movement.

In my dreams, I am at least sending a paper copy of this to all the you tube channels I follow asking them to feature it, if nothing else but for the lols. But, maybe people start building them and sending them to wizards. WHO KNOWS The great thing about this deck is that many of the cards are very budget.

RowanKeltizar · Post by **RowanKeltizar** » 3 years ago

At this point, my goal is to get this list below $50 but preferably $25. Here are a few more:

The great thing is, we have Daryl, Rick, Glenn, and Michonne to build too, yay!
