MTG Salvation

So thanks to another user Silenciaco on the forums on the deck idea, but i'm thinking of developing a theme in the deck.

The basic idea is that all my demons are a part of the most brutal death metal band of all time. Dethklok, taken to the extreme, one might say.

But in order to make that happen, I gotta somehow deface my headliner demons to reinforce that theme.

An example i've found on the internet (cheers to mr andy):

The demons that require some sort of customising:



The thing is, aside from malfegor (on the flying V), i don't really have any idea about what the various band members should be doing. The general is rakdos the defiler, so i'm gonna have him as frontman. probably have razaketh on bass, hellcarver demon on just lookin' good?

If anyone has any good ideas, seriously, let me know. I'll post the results of the defacement here when they're done.

I might also customise some of the cards in the deck that are major role-players in the deck, like anger (no idea what to do with an angry baby), final fortune and pain's reward. so if anyone has ideas for card you'd expect in a suicide-RB deck, let me know!

Some non-band members positions:

Rakdos, Lord of Riots - Security, Bouncer
Razaketh, the Foulblooded - Owner of record label (hiring and firing, aka searching and sacrificing)
Master of Cruelties - Ex band member, solo career now, only plays alone...
Abhorrent Overlord - the bands pimp, brings some groupies along

[edit]
Demonic Hordes - the fans
Bloodgift Demon - their drug dealer

Hellcarver Demon should be the keyboardist, and his opus is doomsday.

Master of Cruelties can be modded to make his weapon look like a big bow, so he could be on bass, as in the big ******* string instrument.

Sire of insanity should be on drums, because you could easily mod that in.

Abyssal Persecutor is holding a big ******* club, so maybe he uses that to hit a big ******* gong.

Lots of these aren't traditional rock instruments, but I'd think Demons would play a hybrid of black, death, epic, and doom metal. Anything that hits deep, ominous notes can fit.

Someone should play violin as well, you can get some pretty devilish sounds from one.

Also, he's not a demon, but Mogis, God of Metal needs to be in there on an axe.

Razaketh has his hand positioned perfectly for the mic, so vocalist.

Rune scarred has great hand position for a keyboard. His left is on the keyboard, his right has dramatically come off of his, cartoon Beethoven style, and is about to smack back down.

Rakdos himself should be the manager. In lore, his whole deal is that he wants to be entertained, and his cult exists to do so. In deck, he has brought this band together for the same reason.

Grislebrand. Stand up between sets. Russel Brand edit. Unoriginal, but still funny.

A fiddle, surely.

I've seen a cool Dance of the Dead alter before that might fit in here. Did a quick google search and found it again:

Honestly, the top right skeleton's hand looks like it should be holding a mic instead of a bendy neck guitar, though.

Joven is definitely a metal band member.

Why not take your cards you want altered and give them to friends to do? Each of them gets a card or two and just tell them to draw what they want to on them as long as it fits the theme of a rock band.

wow. that dance of the dead looks epic! it wasn't in my build, but I'm gonna have to chuck it back in just 'cuz of that

cheers guys! I'm hoping to get them done some point by may, 'cuz school is being a bit nuts for me.

Hell carver demon on keyboard seems cool. not sure how to put the actual keyboard onto the card though.

Master of cruelties is the bouncer checking VIP passes and only letting the hot chicks in. For sure.
