I know, I said I wouldn’t do multiple posts about this deck. Too bad. Here’s the original card pool:
Good Knight Part I
Trying to create a Black and White Knight deck for EDH / Commander has been a bit more labor intensive than I thought. It is also a LOT more expensive than buying one of the $35 precons and modifying it. If I’m lucky I’ll have this constructed by the end of the year. They don’t call Magic the Gathering cardboard crack for nothing!
I hope to have a post up tomorrow with pictures of some of the more interesting and valuable cards that I get from the new Dominaria set. I have half a box and 2 pre-release kits so out of 30 packs I’m hoping for at least one good card to help pay for all of this. This also serves as fair warning to those of you who aren’t into Magic the Gathering so you don’t expect something else come Monday.
***************
I did a fine darn job with my gut instinct of “on the edge”. I suspect money is going to play a part of the chosen cards. I’ll be including the TCG midrange price here. Planeswalkers might be swapped out for creatures if the price is too exhorbitant for the overall deck. Totals are rounded up so to give a bit of a worst case scenario.
The next step after this post is to check each card’s edition and see if I already own it. That’ll help with the overall pricing issue too. If I already own a higher card or two, that will make buying the others that much easier.
