Okay so my friends and I almost elusively play EDH. A couple also go to pre-release events but that is it (One plays modern but he borrows someone else's deck when he does)
Anyway a few months ago (like in the summer) I got Planechase Anthology. A few months after my freind bought all four planechase 2012 decks (He got a deal on them) and wanted to play Planechase (I decided to bring my set of 86 as opposed to his 40)
Anyway Playing EDH is fun and adding in Planechase is also fun, but I have grown a little tired of playing against the same decks and I myself (unfortunately) am drawn to two decks I built and do not have the urge to build any new EDH decks (Sure some generals look like fun but i quickly pass on building the deck). In fact the only reason i never built dragons before was because Scion was the only general option to use any and all. I now have a dragon deck that i like a lot. (The Ur-Dragon was a blessing)
Anyway that brings me to my current dilemma. I want to build several decks (6-8) that have similar power. I want the decks to be casual and fun. None of this mega combo wins but also don;t want them to all be aggro/fatties.
I do have a few rules for this
1) Legendary creatures- All decks must have a least one, and only one copy of legendaries
2) Rarity- The rarity of the card will grant its limitations. Now Common is 4 per deck, where Uncommon is 3, Rare is 2 and Mythic is 1. (I might tweak mythics to two just due to the fact that mythics are rares are pretty much the same thing.)
3) Planewalkers- Really iffy on this. I don;t think I would want to include them.
4) Colors- I am restricting the colors to the legendary creature's colors. He is not a gneneral so he does not go to teh command zone but he is still suppose to be the decks mascot. At the same time, all decks must have 2-3 colors. (Not sure if I want to mix it yet so some decks have two while other have 3, or if i want to keep the count the same on each one)
5) Budget friendly- I am not made of money and (not for lack of trying) only have a part time job. I don't want to have to save of for a year just to buy a Goyf I want to keep budgets within 50 bucks max. I might have cards already, I might even be willing to spend a bit more on a deck if it is still around that much.
So yes I am looking for help here. It is meant to be for fun and also meant for mutiplayer matches. I like EDH due to the casual and multi-player gameplay. I will provide the Planes, Provide the decks, and using a Die we will pick our decks. And play with them. That is why I want 6-8 (maybe even 10, but if I do do ten I am definitely going to restrict all decks to either 2 or 3 color, not a mix) So I need help with the deck construction.
EDIT: For legendary Creatures, i have made my Decision
I want the dragons ability to be a theme of the deck. So oros would have a lot of white/X creatures and teneb wold be recursion already. Rith would probably have anthems and token doublers. Droma would probably focus n colorless/artifact creatures instead of colored creatures in order to bounce an army and keep his army safe.
