Title: Challenge 6: Unity of the multiverse

well, normally Gericult does these, but since he has neglected them, well I'll do it.

Challenge:

Build a deck that spans the multiverse

Other than basic lands your deck must include 1 card of each set prior to 2010 (as far as I'm concerned 2010+ doesn't exist)

The sets include all core sets, and the un-sets

ALL cards are legal with the exception of a few un-cards (their mechanics just don't work)

Ass whuppin'
Booster tutor
Cardboard Carapace
Checks and Balances
Collector Protector
Curse of the Fire Penguin
Double Cross
Double Deal
Double Dip
Double Play
Double Take
Elvish House Party
Fat Ass
Get a Life
Ghazban Ogress
Gus
Jester's Sombrero
Ladies' Knight
Letter Bomb
Moniker Mage
Prismatic Wardrobe
R&D's Secret Lair
Richard Garfield, Ph.D
Sex Appeal
Standing Army
Stone-Cold Basilisk
Super Secret Tech
Time Machine
Topsy Turvy

this is a really challenging deck build that will take a long time, so we'll give it a month or so. Post on your progress.

Oh, and you can have as many copies of any one card as you want, so long as each copy is from a different set.

Alpha isn't one of the sets, skip right to beta

Start with alpha/beta, work your way up through the core sets, then go back and do all the expansions. I might suggest doing something simple like, an enchantment deck, or an artifact deck, or a powerhouse deck, or maybe even a counterspell deck. Remember that is is possible to have more than 4 copies of one card.

65 cards plus lands, so probably a 97 card deck

Legacy staples are a good idea, as well as tribal themed decks.

All in all, I'd suggest:

Burn
White Weenie
Mono U Control/High Tide
Black Suicide
Elves

And you might want to take a look at the storm mechanics... those Pauper Grapeshot decks are pretty spread out in terms of sets.

I really don't think that is is practical to do a tribal deck, simply put to many sets won't have your tribe.

not really.. you can just use artifacts from sets that doesn't have your tribe.,..

Really though, working with The dark, Arabian nights, and Fallen Empires is very difficult.

For the sake of these decks, horsemanship uses the following rules:

A creature with horsemanship can only be blocked by a creature with flying or horsemanship.
Multiple instances of horsemanship are redundant
Creatures with horsemanship can't block creatures with flying (unless otherwise noted)

I really like the style of it Gericult, but I feel like you should have some creatures in there that you would want to clone.

Also have maelstrom archangel and tidesprout tyrant which I can hard cast, however if I added more I would have lost the tribal. Not that it matters as my ultimat plan was to copy my opponents creatures then bounce them. If I was to continue this past 2010 I would add graveborn and emrukel as additional copy targets

Also I have no problem doing more challeges as I have some ideas I didn't get to use however the response went down each challenge and the last time I did it (#5) I asked if I should continue and got no response so I stopped
