Description

{"ops":[{"insert":"This is possibly my favourite I've built so far: a [[Dekkon Blackblade]] Esper deck based upon the Shakespeare play _[Julius Caeser](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Julius_Caesar_(play))_.\n\nI've ensured that basically every card matches up with a character or theme within the play, even adding some slightly obscure themes in order to make the deck smoother. Each creature matches up with character within the play or is representative of a theme or piece of imagery (such as the Dogs of War).\nThe themes within the play include notions of Justice, Patriotism (the love of ones country & preventing tyrants from ruling it), Honour, War & Loyalty (to an individual, a nation & an ideal).\n\nThe deck plays out like your basic mid-range controlly Esper deck until you get enough lands on field to make it worth dropping Dekkon in order to score a win. Once you do that, you need to give him a bit of haste & protection with [[Lightning Greaves]].\nThe main focus of the deck then becomes finding ways to drop land that you can buff Dekkon up with, which is done through various artefacts, spells & creatures. You can also use [[Swords to Plowshares]] on a huge Dekkon to get a huge amount of life back.\nI also added a few Monarch cards for flavour as well as card draw\n\nThe creatures are as follows:\n\nDakkon Blackblade: [Caeser](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Julius_Caesar)\n\nDovin Baan: [Octavius](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Augustus)\n\nGideon, Champion of Justice: [Brutus](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marcus_Junius_Brutus_the_Younger)\n\nSorin, Grim Nemesis: [Mark Anthony](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Antony)\n\nKambal, Consul of Allocation: [Lepidus](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marcus_Aemilius_Lepidus_(triumvir))\n\nTriad of Fates: [The Triumvirate](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Triumvirate)\n\nRavos, Soultender: [Titinius](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Titinius)\n\nGwafa Hazid, Profiteer: [Cassius](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gaius_Cassius_Longinus)\n\nObzedat, Ghost Council: [the Senate](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roman_senate)\n\nGrand Arbiter Augustin IV: [Cicero](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cicero)\n\nViscera Seer: The Soothsayer\n\nWeathered Wayfarer: [Messala](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marcus_Valerius_Messalla_Corvinus)\n\nCustodi Lich: [Trebonius](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trebonius)\n\nGarrulous Sycophant: [Metellus Cimber](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tillius_Cimber)\n\nKeeper of the Keys: [Cinna](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lucius_Cornelius_Cinna_(suffect_consul))\n\nKalitas, Traitor of Ghet: [Casca](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Servilius_Casca)\n\nHerald of Leshrac: [Popilius Lena](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gaius_Popillius_Laenas)\n\nCanal Courier: the Messanger\n\nIsamaru, Hound of Konda: the Dogs of War\n\nWalking Atlas: allegory for the Roman Republic’s territory\n\nIt That Betrays: the Spirit of Betrayal & Treachery\nAthreos, God of Passage\n\nEphara, God of the Polis\n\nOblivion Sower: the Chaos caused by Caeser’s death\n\nGrave Titan: the war dead\n\nCryptbreaker: the undead who march the street\n\nNoosegraf Mob: the mob that rioted after Caeser’s murder\n\nBurnished Hart: a sacrifice to the gods\n"}]}
