So, a while back I implored MTG Salvation to help me build an all female deck. I have, after a long time realized two things.
The first of which is that my deck is a meandering confused mess. The second of which is that it would be better as a Commander Deck.
However, I still want a 60-card R/B Deck of ladies. Hence, the creation of this deck.
I decided to tweak it a bit. Vampires are the theme here.
The story, in brief, is this:
Long ago, witches were hunted and killed, burned at the stake for their powers. A group of them fled to the dark mountains with their children and made a city there that they defended against intruders. It didn't take long until the witches found the mountain was already inhabitated by vampires. The two groups made an accord - the witches would feed the vampires, and the vampires would protect the witches. And their they have lived at the top of the mountain, vehemently rejecting all intruders to protect the things they love.
The witches specialize in fire magic, while the vampires specialize in blood magic. While there are men in the city, they are considered more useful building the infrastructure of the city and maintaining it. The women can defend it.
That said, there are some rules.
DA RULZ:
All creatures cards must depict female characters. There can be men in the picture, but it should be clear that the character the card is referring to is female.
Exceptions will be made for genderless creatures that could be summoned by the witches and for characters clothed in garb that disguises their gender.
All instants, sorceries, lands, artifacts and enchantments that depict no people are fine. Ones that do depict people can depict anyone as the target of the spell, but if they're depicting someone casting it, it must be a female (or, again, a suitably androgynous figure).
No three-ofs please. Three's an unlucky number for me, and I won't have my Favorite Deck have to deal with that.
