Deck Building Challenge I: Valky and the Books!

Do you like to build decks? What about creative decks? Do you think your deck building is better then John Cena (Our Special Guest disapproved of this placement) himself? Well, this is where you prove it. This is another thing that will be hosted weekly (hopefully): the Deck Building Challenge. If dueling is just not your thing, but you are a very talented deck builder, then this is for you.

How This Will Work

How these Deck Building Challenges will work is as follows: this thread will go up, and you will know your archetype or specific engine you are supposed to run. This thread will be "Locked" for about around 48 hours. Okay, it won't really be locked, but you'll only be able to ask us questions. And it may not be exactly 48 hours, so keep that in mind. When this thread opens, it becomes a race. The best way to explain this is to provide an example. Say this thred opens, and the theme is Nekroz. I want to go build Hand Nekroz, so I go to post "Hand Nekroz". Bobby, however, posts "Hand Nekroz" before me. Well good for Bobby, he gets to build Hand Nekroz, and I cannot, because it's reserved and someone took it before me. And if you don't post in this tread your specific deck you are going to send us, your entry will not count, so you better post quickly.

Judges and Our Special Guest!

Anyhow, so I said "Judges." That ain't no typo, I ain't doing this all myself. So I got a special guest with me today. You most likely know and love him. His favorite celeberty is John Cena (no it fucking isn't). And he is a nerd when it comes to our theme, Spellbooks.

Hint: Its Valkoor.

Valkoor the Penguin Tot wrote: Hello, one and all, to what my entire life (or a few years of maining a shitty deck) has led to! I am Valkoor Caicus Necross (or Valky-kins, according to a certain disease on this site), and this deck building challenge is absed on my favorite deck of all time, Spellbooks. Spellbooks, for those of you who don't know, are a archetype of cards that revolve around their toolbox and deck-thinning for consistent hand and field advantage. They're usually combined with their associating archetype, Prophecy, but we're being assholes today. More on that soon. Anyway, I'll be helping Dazo jusdge this, and if any of you have no idea where to start, well guess what? This academy has a Spellbook Guide written by your's truly! So if you'll ignore my whoring, feel free to refer to it if need be. https://satellar.forumotion.com/t187-spellbook-guide-and-discussion That's all, dearies. Back to Dazo. ~

Your Theme: Spellbooks

Anyhow, so today, we want you to build decks that involve spellbooks. Pretty easy right? Your deadline is the 21st, and this will be open for you to claim your specific Spellbook deck on the 16rd at 9:30PM est.

____________________________________________________________________________
Rules

If someone claims a spellbook variety before you (like how I stated in my Hand Nekroz exmaple), then you cannot use it. No prophecy (But you can use Spellbook Magician of Prophecy) All decks should have a full side deck and extra deck (unless you're building Monarch Spellbook, at which point, what the fuck is wrong with you?) You must be running 7+ Spellbook cards for it to count.

We Are Looking For

How the deck works in general How well the deck is built How creative your deck is.
