So this idea arose as I was struggling to figure out what sort of deck to build for my dear old father who when asked his preference claims he doesn't care, would play whatever was handed to him, and especially emphasized that when playing games he doesn't care to 'think'.

At first I thought, well then... magic is definitely not your game. But that's not entirely true as there are a handful of decks which do not require much or any thought to properly play *cough* red goblin aggro/burn deck *cough*...

And then when I was done thinking about that, I thought well why not make him a deck that includes no card with 'card text' (Flavor text is ok) on it. That immediately cuts out fliers and spells other than creatures, and for those of you who were about to say "well land has card text!" I direct you to this image.

So given all that... my challenge is thus, can the collective minds of MTGVault.com create a viable 60 card deck for casual play that does not include any card with card text on it?

I leave this challenge open until the 3rd of July, PM me with your decks.

For the first person to PM me with a deck list that wins 3/10 games I play test it in I will purchase a $10 mtgfanatic.com Gift Card.

To receive that reward though of course requires a shipping address and I know some people are hesitant to share that sort of personal information. So with that said I will simply leave the offer open and notify you if you are the 'lucky winner'. After that it would be your choice whether or not you want the gift card, all I ask is that you respond promptly so that I can either post that the prize has been claimed or you know... not post that.

Anyhow thank you for reading this and I apologize if offering of this prize is in violation of any rules, if so please just PM me and I'll promptly edit my post.
