My first real exposure and regular play with Magic The Gathering was with last year's Game Night boxed set.
Looking at the reviews for it I saw all sorts of moaning and groaning from members of the community about the lack of value in the cards and decks.
Personally I thought it was a lot of fun and good introduction even if the raw value was underwhelming. That's fine, I'm not competing in tournaments.
Then I got furloughed from work because of Covid-19 and had a lot of time on my hands.
So, I decided to make my own Game Night box set.
I embraced some of the original Game Night techniques in building my decks:
Spells are mainly singletons or duplicated and only once in a while are there three of a kind.
This should increase the randomness and discover-ability when playing the set multiple times.
I kept to Common/Uncommon cards except that each deck has a single rare. I've kept to the Modern format.
The mana curves are pretty slow with an emphasis on interesting 4+ drops.
The strategies are pretty shallow and playing what you get should mostly work. Well, beyond not attacking and judicious use of spells there's not much else.
Somethings I did differently are:
I tried to accentuate the strategies and make each deck really good at mostly one thing.
I tried to keep to maximum flavour and keep the decks mostly tribal (and draw
inspiration from those tribes).
So, I present my five mono colour decks. They should play well together, but I'm not entirely sure. Observations, comments, and suggestions are heartily requested.
