Title: Duel Deck Innovating Time!

You make the Duel Deck!

Wizards of the Coast is going to release a Duel Decks product on Magic Online called "Mirrodin Pure vs. New Phyrexia." As you might remember, one of those two is the name of "Action," the third set in Scars of Mirrodin block. But this isn't about that. It's about your chance to submit a deck list that will be used in Duel Decks: Mirrodin Pure vs. New Phyrexia.

The full details are available in the contest announcement, but here are the most important details:

You can submit up to one deck for each side.
Each deck must be 60 cards.
The Mirrodin Pure deck will be based on Platinum Angel and the New Phyrexia deck will be based on Phyrexian Plaguelord. These are the only mythic rares allowed.
No opposite-faction cards are allowed.
Each deck should have 4-8 rare cards and 20-28 land cards.
Include a 250-word explanation of the deck.

This was taken off of Magic Arcana Archive.

So I was thinking we could post our own decklists here! Whether you\'re actually submitting your decklist or doing it just for fun, it\'d be neat to see what people come up with.

Then if you guys want to, we could vote on the best Mirran decklist and the best Phyrexian decklist.

Based on other duel decks I would say yes to legecy

 would also say no to affinty, the idea is for the decks to be on equal footing, affinety gives the mirran to much of an edge.

A few affinity things would be ok if the phyrexian deck had some of the really powerful black stuff.

OR artifact hate.

A very SMALL amount of creatures could be affinity, as long as they're not too freakishly powerful. Here's my suggestion for affinity in the mix:

2 Frogmite
1 Myr Enforcer
1 Tooth of Chiss-Goria
1 Scale of Chiss-Goria

That's all I'd add. Plus, you want the decks to kind of be a "trip down memory lane" for each deck while still adding new cards from the Scars block. So the Mirrodin side should have a few cards (at least) from Mirrodin, Darksteel, Fifth Dawn, Scars of Mirrodin, and Mirrodin Besieged. The Phyrexian side, however, (since they've been around a lot longer) just need a few cards from about three or so "old Phyrexia" sets, and a few cards from the Scars block.

Let the deck building begin!!!!!
