**The names in parentheses are the challengers in the melee battle for the title should an Iron Chef lose three matches. Names scratched out has a victory over that Iron Chef but are no lomger eligible to compete in a melee battle for that title.
Rules - Maybe you want to know them
1. The battle will begin with the Chairman choosing a card to be the 'secret ingredient' of each match. Multicolored cards will count as both or all of their colors. (Example: If the Chairman chooses Vindicate, it can be the secret ingredient of both Black and White). Use the official ORacle wording.
2. Both the Iron Chef and challenger will have three days to make and post a deck that features the 'secret ingredient' card. There MUST be four copies of the card in the deck, and at least three in the maindeck (you can have one in the sideboard). Sideboards are not required for your deck, but it wouldn't hurt.
3. After the three day time limit has passed, I will post a poll featuring the matchups and the decks. If a player does not post a deck or edits the deck after the time limit has passed, they are immediately disqualified. The poll lasts for two days and the people, the Salvation community will decide the winner. [NOTE: Yes, you can vote for yourself as well as vote in the other match-ups.] If the poll ends in a tie, there is no winner to that match and an immediate rematch will be scheduled. Only The American Nightmare and will be prohibited from voting in the polls.
4. Decks made for the matchups must be legal for the Legacy format. If you do not know the Banned and Restricted List for Legacy, here is a link to the Legacy B+R list. Decks do not have to be mono-colored. (Example: If Iron Chef Red is making a deck that the 'secret ingredient' is Fire Elemental, they can make it a red-green deck as long as it appears four times overall in the deck.) You can also include a brief explanation as to the goal of your deck. IT IS YOUR RESPONSIBILITY TO ENSURE THAT YOUR SUBMITTED DECK IS LEGAL!!!
5. Decks are judged based on originality, creativity, how well they used the 'secret ingredient', and the overall strength of the deck. You may also consider which deck would win if the decks played a series of games. When your deck is finished, either post it on this thread or Private Message it to The American Nightmare. [NEW RULE: Only participants of Iron Chef Salvation and posters with at least 50 counted posts will be allowed to vote in the polls - TAN ]
6. Now. This is the important part to the Iron Chefs. Each normal battle is a one-on-one match. But...........If you lose three matches, your position as Iron Chef is in jeopardy. If that happens, there will be a FOUR-WAY CHALLENGE between the three challengers that defeated the Iron Chef and the Iron Chef themselves. The winner will become the Iron Chef for that color (or perhaps retain their job) That means you can become an Iron Chef even after the original battle.
7. To challenge an Iron Chef to battle, you need only PM or The American Nightmare with the Iron Chef you wish to challenge. I will arrange the battle as soon as possible. I will be trying to have all six Iron Chefs battling at the same time. Please only challenge one Iron Chef at a time.
8. Any of these rules can be changed at any time. I will announce updates to the rules as they are decided upon. There will also be rounds when I make a 'special rule' for your battle. Sometimes, a special rule battle may need additional time to make the deck. Example: I may decide that the decks must be a Highlander format deck where other than basic land (and the secret ingredient) you can only have one copy of every card in the deck.

Today's Battles - The Reason You are Here
Today, we start three battles with a bit of an "Easter theme" One is represented by an Egg...the others are represented by resurrection (don't worry....not debtor's knell)
*Sorry, its REALLY hard to come up with a black Easter theme card. This was the closest I could come up with.
After this battle and poll have concluded, Iron Chef Salvation will be taking a week off so that our Iron Chefs (as well as its Chairman) can relax a bit.
OK, everybody. Schedules for battles are back to normal (or as close to normal as I can get them).
The deadline for decklists IN ALL BATTLES will be Wednesday, April 19th at 7 P.M. EST (6 P.M. CST, 5 P.M. MST, 4 P.M. PST).
Good luck to all!
Happy Easter!!!

Don't read anything LaPille. Your brain will thank you later. ----> VICTORY!
OK. So. Betrayal. Obviously. The easiest thing to do is Mono-Black, with coffers and the like. But, that was boring. So I went with a more casual, Theme-based combo deck.
If it's not entirely obvious don't be afraid. It's a bit of a complex affair. Here's what happens:
1. You want to have all four Dedicated Martyr's around, you can have as little as two, the more around the faster they die. Either in your
hand or in your graveyard. If they're in play just sac em for life.
2. Get Bloodbond March, Cloudstone Curio, Concordant Crossroads, Multani's Harmony and Carnival of Souls in play. - I told you this was casual.
3. Play a Martyr. When you do you should go down 4 life from Carnival and gain 4 black mana, from the Martyrs that return from the GY. Cloudstone triggers, tap your four Martyrs for 4 Green and return a martyr to your hand. Cycle 4 green and 4 black through for 4 white, you are now back where you started but with 4 white floating and up 5 life. Rinse and Repeat. Judas them to death.
4. I know. It isn't built around Betrayal of Flesh. But its theme and casual... :D!

I know I could have made the deck WAY more powerful and WAY more consistent, but I wanted to make the deck heavy with white cards and very on-theme.
Sorry about the delay, I've been out for a while.
Gimme about an hour and I'll have the poll up.
