Hey there, I've been a MTG player for over 30 years and a Buffy fan for over 20 years.
I'm not sure why I haven't tried to make BtVS custom cards up to now, but it had to change. :D
I'm mostly an EDH player, playing lower budget decks with my wife, so I've decided to work on an EDH deck for our own usage.
The deck's commander works the same as the Doctor Who set, so Slayer+Scooby member.
After thinking it for a bit, the most logical colors for me were : WUBR. Green doesn't fit much in there in my opinion. Black and White are necessary for the balance of good and evil. Blue and Red for the magic and ferocity.
Do note that the cards aren't meant to be played outside of this deck. I tried to not go overboard with the power level and to follow to the letter how Mtg cards are written, but it might not be 100% balanced or well written.
I've also added some lands and characters from the Angel show, mainly because I needed Fred, Illyria and Lorne. :D
My main goals were to make : a decent deck that is fun to play and as close as possible to the lore. With a complete set of custom tokens.
So what about the gameplay ?
It didn't make sense to have Drusila or The Master fight alongside Buffy, and I didn't want to make a second deck, so I chose something strange : gifting Buffy's enemies to the opponent. So it might be close to a Zedruu deck, but with more powerful creature gifted. Those are poisoned gifts, but still powerful creatures.
There's also a fair number of double sided cards.
A few cards are straight up existing cards that were renamed (mostly lands), but the rest isn't.
There's also some references from the comics. Fray being a possible commander.
Here's the link : customcards/34794-buffy-btvs/
Let me know what you think. I'll be printing the deck soon and try to see if it works and if it's fun to play.
