[avengedqrowdesigns]

Been a while since I've posted any new designs, huh? I'm currently stuck home with COVID (again), so I figured I'd use the opportunity to work on and publish some WIPs I had.

The first 2 designs are based on characters from Magic: The Gathering. I've gotten really into playing Commander games with friends, and I have a fun rat typal deck based around Karumonix, The Rat King. He and the other creature- Ixhel, Scion of Atraxa- have an ability called Toxic, so naturally I had to make a reference to Britney Spears.

The last design is based around a quote from Comfortable Doug in Centaurworld Season 2 (I know, I'm pretty late, but I've been busy with life stuff) It's truly one of the wildest quotes from the show, so I just had to honor it. This one is age restricted on my sites, just a heads up! I kinda had to: it's a picture of nipples with a quote about killing people.

As always, you can find these designs, and many more, on my Redbubble and Teepublic shops!

Deck Update

I've been keeping track of the deck in scryfall because that's actually designed for deck building unlike y'know, tumblr.

Assuming Silas Renn is the commander, there are 198 cards in Blue/Black color identity, including 93 lands. Which means technically I'm overdue for my first draft. As a cop out, please enjoy the current list of playable cards (below the cut)

How good is Karumonix, the Rat King in a deck built to blink it a bunch of times with Ephemerate? Let’s find out! Source: MTG GOLD FISH

Okay, I finished drafting faster than I thought, keep it mind that this is just based on what I own currently, but I haven't gone back into mirrodin block cards, since most have been reprinted.

The theme of this deck is Rescource Acquisition and Alternative Damage, even if if I'm forced to attack and get blocked, most of my creatures have alternate triggers to punish opponents. There are snow lands and permanents that synergize with what's in the deck, and open some Routes to Marit Lage just for contingency, I have no real intention on attempting to get Marit Lage unless I can. Here is my deck list.

The goal of this deck was to just have fun and make something that has unusual synergy. With so many cards that act as mana, get bonuses from artifacts, or generate token creatures, costs aren't that big of a problem. Cards can also combo with several others for various effects that can win the game. There's always an option or a loophole, and if you play your cards right, your opponents will be the only ones paying the price.
