What if instead of teleporting Sanctuary away in the sky, if Lilith ended up on Zendikar on the part of that plane where Nicol Bolas was? What if Krieg the Psycho challenged Nicol Bolas to a duel? What if all of the vault hunters were there with Lilith?
Based on what I know about both Krieg and Nicol Bolas, it seems like it would be a fair fight. Nicol Bolas's mindshattering touch against someone who can't think clearly who clearly gets more powerful when taking damage and getting angry intrigued me enough to design a deck based off of Krieg the Psycho. I uploaded a picture in the attachment area for you all to take a look at. I'd appreciate any feedback you can give me on this.
These were the questions which sort of came upon me back around Oct. 2013 when I came up with what I now call my borderlands 1 and 2 EDH deck.
Instead of coming up with individual cards, I decided to make actual decks that help to tell the story that I can imagine that could have possibly happened if things went down this way. I will post up the decks when possible soon. Hopefully within the next several days.
If anyone is interested in this and wants to help me out, please send me a pm.
Krieg the Psycho 1RRWW
Legendary Creature Human Vault Hunter Mythic
Whenever a creature or player would be dealt damage, if Krieg the Psycho is untapped, you may tap this creature and have that damage be instead dealt to this creature.
If damage would be dealt to this creature, put that many +1/+0 counters on this creature instead.
XRR, T: Deal X damage to target creature or player.
At the beginning of the controller’s end phase, remove half of all counters that are on this creature rounded up. “I have the shiniest Meat Bicycle!”
4/4
Seems unesseccarily complex and potentially confusing. I would consider removing the counter element. Altering it in that kind of way would probably make it more balanced anyway.

If you're not having fun and challenging yourself, what's the point of making a game?

Nothing else published here, but I have other things coming, I promise.
For starters use +1/+1 counters. There's a reason that counters other than +1/+1 and -1/-1 are not supported any more. The last ability of removing counters seems a little pointless. In game Krieg was kind of supposed to get out of control so why would you want something that would neuter that? Also take off the flavor text so that you can use larger font. Ability to read influences complexity. If there's a ton of tiny text it makes the card as a whole harder to grok first go around.
I like the idea of bringing Borderlands to Magic though. These are a few of my favorite things. ;P
Edit: I jumped straight to the card. Flavor-wise the concept that Krieg could go mano-a-dragono with Bolas is absurd. Bolas doesn't have to use his mind shattering touch or worry about Krieg getting stronger as he gets more damaged or angry because Bolas could literally just swallow Kreig whole. MAYBE the Sirens, all jacked up on eridium, could hang with Bolas for a few minutes but I think you're severely overestimating the power of the vault hunters.
Probably, since there are some crazy abilities in Both of the borderlands games. However in MTG, I don't know how some of those things would carry over. Like how would things be since there probably wouldn't be any respawners or anything to bring them back since they're no longer in the same universe as Pandora.
However the other question I have is how would the damage carry over? I mean Krieg's base special ability alone does 400% damage when he pops the ability and when you hit enemies. How would that carry over to MTG?
Anyway, I'll check into the +1/+1 since that you're right. +1/+0 isn't supported anymore and I know that. However Krieg should still be killable.
