So I got to thinking that some peeps like Rakdos could make a good metal band. But before I start building pieces (which requires some leeching from other decks I already own), I wanted to sort out the main band members, and how i'd alter them. so far, I think i'd want:
Band:
rakdos the defiler - vocals, frontman. obviously hes gonna need a double microphone Malfegor - drums. thinking of putting a drumstick on each hand and a drumset that'd make terry bozzio cry. Mogis, God of Slaughter - lead guitar. I don't think you can get more metal than a spike-wearing-god on lead. Ob Nixilis, Unshackled - rhythm guitar. hes a bit tamer than the others and gets pushed around a lot, but can still lay down sick riffs like mogis. withengar unbound - keyboard. It was kinda hard finding someone who has their hands in that position actually. Makes it better that the band has to release him from prison before he can play with the rest of the band. Nefarox, Overlord of Grixis - bass. The bassist can play such low-pitched solos that he can make other player's creatures' brain explode.
for a truly brutal metal band, some sacrifice, dark rituals and things of that nature are probably necessary. I just cant figure out how to put loudspeakers, stacks and other things on the stage in cards. hopefully the might of mtgs edh players can help a tad here!
Boris Devilboon, manager, legal counsel, and Chief Financial Officer.

oh man. hes gonna be tough to find i think. i was trying to find a character like charles foster offdensen (CFO of the fictional dethklok band), but i suppose he could do for now. I'll feel bad if i end up altering him and i find someone who fits better.
Loudspeakers: Strionic Resonator it can amplify abilities of every single band member.
YES! thats brutal! exactly what i'm looking for. if you guys think of anything else, keep em comin!
I was trying to come up with thematically relevant lands - ones that looks like it could stage the most brutal metal band in the multiverse. so far, i've come up with:
things like the cities, urborg, and a couple of the tombs i think are shoo-ins, since i could quite easily add things like floodlights and lasers and a stage and it'd be gold. for some of the others, its hard to say. having said that by the way, i'd like it to be at least a somewhat servicable manabase too.
