A while back I decided to make a Lovecraftian-themed EDH deck with Wrexial, the Risen Deep as the commander, but through the playtesting and polishing process the deck became less and less thematic. While that deck has become something I really enjoy, I still wanted a purely thematic deck. So while re-reading a collection of Lovecraft's short stories (Necronomicon I think), I put this deck idea together. It is not suppose to be a good deck, simply a thematic one. I don't really have any intention of making it anytime soon, but I do really like the idea and figured I would share it.
As you will see the deck is divided by stories. The deck could be run with either Tasigur, the Golden Fang or The Mimeoplasm at the helm, but while The Mimeoplasm would probably make more strategic sense to be castable from the Command Zone, I feel that Tasigur makes a much more flavorful option because of his ability. I feel that the reason behind card choice should be fairly straightforward if you've read the accompanying story, but feel free to ask questions. The "misc" section are cards that fit into themes that appear in multiple stories or simply feel Lovecraftian. The deck is a few cards short of 100, but those could easily filled.
