I was thinking about the disaster stories in the bible and thought of the best one: the plagues of Egypt. I said to myself, "That would be a a good set of decks." so my challenge is to make 10 decks based on the plagues. The plagues in order are:

Blood. God instructed Moses to raise his staff over the river Nile; all of its water turned into blood. As a result of the blood, the fish of the Nile died, filling Egypt with an awful stench. Other water resources used by the Egyptians were turned to blood as well. I'm not sure what would be good here, most likely red decks of some kind.

Frogs. God commanded Moses to stretch the staff over the water, and hordes of frogs came and overran Egypt. Obviously a horde deck but please be creative not just the infinite squirrel deck.

Gnats. God instructed Moses to take the staff and strike at the dust, which turned into a mass of gnats that the Egyptians could not get rid of. horde or -1/-1 etc.

Dangerous wild animals. a creative stompy deck, maybe wurms.

Disease. which exterminated the Egyptian livestock; that is, horses, donkeys, camels, cattle, sheep and goats. anti-creature deck

Shkhin. Shkhin was a kind of skin disease, usually translated as "boils". God commanded Moses to take two handfuls of soot from a furnace, which Moses scattered skyward in Pharaoh's presence. The soot induced festering Shkhin eruptions on Egyptian men and livestock. some sort of black-blue removal deck.

A powerful shower of hail intermixed with fire. The storm heavily damaged Egyptian orchards and crops, as well as people and livestock. Burn with ice, blue red preferably.

Locusts. God then had Moses stretch his staff over Egypt, and a wind picked up from the east. The wind continued until the following day, when it brought a locust swarm. The swarm covered the sky, casting a shadow over Egypt. It consumed all the remaining Egyptian crops, leaving no tree or plant standing. Artifact horde memnite and ornithopter etc. powered up by other things.

Darkness. This darkness was so heavy that an Egyptian could physically feel it. Tapping deck or something that does the description above. this is the most difficult to make in my opinion.

an last: Death of all of the first born children in Egypt — no one escaped. EXTRACTION!!! this is my favorite one and for bonus points make it an affordable extraction deck (affordable=under 100$) use any site but under 100 dollars please.


Sorry for the long challenge, have fun and be creative.
