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.)

Horobi, Death's Wail Is the next challenge

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.

Its pretty bad

http://www.mtgvault.com/ViewDeck.aspx?DeckID=179926

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.
