Deck Description

I'm feeling particularly flavorful tonight, I'm gonna attempt to make a deck that captures the various colors of the Phyrexian invasion/domination of Mirrodin. If these turn out to be fun I'll probably make one for the Mirran resistance..

First white..

I wanna capture the commanding/religious nature of Elesh Norn herself. For those unfamiliar with the story and the general idea of "flavor," Elesh Norn is essentially the Phyrexian equivalent to the Catholic Pope. Known to their religion as "the Grand Cenobite." The vast majority of the white faction of Phyrexia is very much based in religion and as such is opposed to much change. While it is organised, this organization is based of religious order.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

No Elesh Norn is not part of the deck, the idea is more like "you are Norn." It would be silly if Norn summoned herself now, wouldn't it???

Deck discussion for Phyrexian Flavor Deck: Elesh Norn

I like these flavor decks you are doing. Gives a nice feeling of the Praetors.

Thanks! :D I enjoy making them, trying to figure out what each of the praetors is about, the next one will probably be Jin-Gitaxais, but for now I'm gonna take a nap. I'll probably make it later today.

What if you took away some of the defensive or removal cards, and added (fewer) Blinding Souleater for removal, and Blade Splicer (the artwork and the idea fits with Elesh Norn's theme)? Plus, the splicer would give this deck a little much-needed offensive capability. If you're then feeling extra lenient, Rusted Relics can complete the offensive ability.

I actually really liked these suggestions, and sadly I do realise that I didn't put as much thought into these as I could've.. Hence why I'm taking longer to put out others. That said, I really liked these suggestions. Although Rusted Relic will have to be a 'no' because Norn herself is not very lenient.

I wanted a Phyrexian themed deck, especially one with Elesh Norn. While your deck is not about playing Elesh Norn, I figured I'd take a stab at an alternate make.
