Okay, so I've got a few friends who are somewhat into Magic and heavily into Halo.
While browsing some altered art cards, I saw some really cool Halo art and thought that combining the two would be the perfect way to get my friends back / really into magic.
So, I pulled up an old casual deck I had and took a look at it. It seemed perfect. It's an old Jund Devour-ish deck that was, at one time, a for-fun standard deck. I could easily see it being similar to the Flood of the Halo universe with Garruk playing the part of Gravemind and Sprouting Thrinax's being Carrier Forms.
A few minor changes have been made here or there and the deck is not exactly the once-Standard deck it used to be.
THE CHALLENGE:
I've decided to do another 2 decks based loosely on the Halo universe.
Alliance = Bant
Covenant = Grixis
Each should:
...have a budget of about $100.
...have 2 Planeswalkers.
...be relatively balanced with the deck already provided.
Bonus points for including a theme (such as the token / sacrifice theme of the sample deck list) and tying the flavor of the card to the Halo universe in some way.
I dream of one day taking these three decks to an artist (I've a few priced out already) and having each card art altered to fit each respective faction perfectly.
I may also one day do a 4th [artifact] deck to cover the Sentinels.
Note: I'm not really looking for critique on the sample deck. However, if you have any ideas on it (and still keeping it close to the $100 or so it's already at) please share.
