MTG Vault Deck Challenges
Fun Challenge - Name a Card
The rules for this "challenge" are as follows:
1) Have fun. <-most important rule
2) Take the named card (I'll name the first one below the rules) and make a deck around that card (with search, ways to cheat it in, ways to abuse it, ect)
3) Post a link to your deck here and name the card the next person should make a deck around (note that you can only name a card after posting a deck based on the previous card).
Card Name - Argent Sphinx

Fun idea, I like it.
I put together a decklist based on using Argent Sphinx's ability every turn along with some 'enter the field' effects:

here is my idea for teffri's puzzle box
essentially this is a fun deck in every sense of the word, but teffri's puzzle box would significantly speed it up to the point where it would be much more awesome
lol, yes I know this deck is basically just a fun deck, but that was the challenge wasn't it?
next card: Jin-Gitaxias, Core Augur

Another challenge for Dedwards :D
This is the deck using Jin-Gitaxias, Core Augur. It makes you draw cards and the other player take damage (seven & seven) with Niv-Mizzet and Jin-Gitazias in play, plus producing mana to play them or the use of Dream Halls or Show and Tell.

Well, I'm not sure how successful I was, but the challenge was so crazy I had to try.
http://www.mtgvault.com/ViewDeck.aspx?DeckID=179458
The idea is to give your atogatog shroud+unblockable (whispersilk cloak / veil of secrecy), then use a mirror entity to make all your creatures high-powered changelings for the perfect food.
Please suggest improvements, because this would be a hilarious deck to play with.
(P.S. @surewhynot, why not go ahead and make your own take on Murganda Petroglyphs, or comment on mine? Either way I'd love to see what you came up with.)

I had so much fun with this challenge that I entered a second time using Horobi, Death's Wail.
http://www.mtgvault.com/ViewDeck.aspx?DeckID=179707
Simple combo of Sharpshooter and Horobi to clean the board.
Scepter plus Nightcreep to freeze play instantly, unless opponent is also playing black. ;)
So now the next card I am thinking of is:Gaze of Adamaro
@ Dedwards, hope you remember this card. :D
HINT: It was in one of your older challenges.

Originally I was going to Run Consecrated Sphinx and Bazaar Trader. But that's just silly.
((I don't think I can ever top the Aura Barbs junk i made. ( http://www.mtgvault.com/ViewDeck.aspx?DeckID=179482) )
Next Card: Seedtime

My third and final entry... cos I am enjoying this challenge too much and need to focus on my studies.
I took a wierd approach with Seedtime, it may not be my best work but it is a long shot.
http://www.mtgvault.com/ViewDeck.aspx?DeckID=180463
So the card I want to see a deck based on is:Karn Liberated
@Dedwards: brilliant challenge mate keep it up.

@ CopyRught: The Aura Barbs deck of yours is the best deck I've seen in a while highly original and highly unexpected.

I hope I am not doing something horrible by posting a second time on here. But here is my deck with Karn:
http://www.mtgvault.com/ViewDeck.aspx?DeckID=180519
Next: Birthing pod
Between this and my last deck, I have come to like birthing pod probably a little too much. I want to see what you all can do with it.

Well I finally played my Aura Barbs Super Deck.
its 1-0
Its not exactly the same a posted, i'll update the deck list later :D
I stalled for a long time then hit the super comob for
4,194,304 Damage for each of his 20 creatures (and my 1 creature)
So 83,886,080 to my opponent and I prevented the 4,194,304 to myself.
Im happy :D. Just need to get 1 more Mirrorweave for the deck

This was fun...I was looking at fixing my flanking deck when I came across this, so that's what inspired the deck:
http://www.mtgvault.com/ViewDeck.aspx?DeckID=187899
Next Challenge:
Since someone already took one of my favorites (Scornful Egotist), I will have to go with Wojek Embermage! Have fun!

Well, I started building a deck around repercussion, but it ended up using wojek embermage as well as varchild's war-riders, which was the previous build around card, so I figured I'd throw it up here. Here it is: http://www.mtgvault.com/ViewDeck.aspx?DeckID=193267
Just realized I forgot to name a card- I'm going to go with wheel of sun and moon. Shouldn't be too tough to do, but I'm curious what you guys think of.
