Description

{"ops":[{"insert":"This is a Golgari bracket 4 deck (mainly because of the great amount of game changers; there are no 2-card combos in this deck) with a special Halloween theme! When I think of \"trick\" or \"treat\", I immediately think of Halloween and especially costumes and candy respectively. So, to represent that, I chose "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Greta, Sweettooth Scourge"}},{"insert":" as my commander. This deck, mechanically speaking, is centered around the creation and payoff of Food tokens with spells that also give you protection, graveyard recursion, mana ramp, draw abilities, and tutors. But the story I have attached to it is that Greta is trying to save the Halloween night for the children from her hometown, and my focus was on connecting the \"trick or treat\" theme with the art of the cards especially. For example, in this deck, we can see a lot of cards from fairytale-like (think of the classic "},{"attributes":{"italic":true},"insert":"Hansel and Gretel"},{"insert":" tale by the Brothers Grimm) sets, such as "},{"attributes":{"italic":true},"insert":"Wilds of Eldraine"},{"insert":" or "},{"attributes":{"italic":true},"insert":"Throne of Eldraine"},{"insert":", with art that evokes the darker or even dreamy parts of Halloween. We have a lot of cards that are Halloween staples, both in a story setting and also as a holiday for us today, like:\n\nWitches ("},{"attributes":{"italic":true},"insert":{"card-link":"Sweettooth Witch"}},{"attributes":{"italic":true},"insert":" "},{"insert":"and"},{"attributes":{"italic":true},"insert":" "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Gumdrop Poisoner // Tempt with Treats"}},{"insert":"), which have been a symbol of Halloween especially because of older traditions and medieval religious fears."},{"attributes":{"list":"ordered"},"insert":"\n"},{"insert":"A witch's cauldron ("},{"insert":{"card-link":"Bumbleflower's Sharepot"}},{"insert":") and oven ("},{"insert":{"card-link":"Witch's Oven"}},{"insert":") to perhaps cook allured children in."},{"attributes":{"list":"ordered"},"insert":"\n"},{"insert":"A witch's cookbook ("},{"insert":{"card-link":"The Underworld Cookbook"}},{"insert":") with all kinds of different recipes, from treats to allure children to potions."},{"attributes":{"list":"ordered"},"insert":"\n"},{"insert":"A witch's mirror ("},{"insert":{"card-link":"The Witch's Vanity"}},{"insert":"), like the magic mirror from the Evil Queen in "},{"attributes":{"italic":true},"insert":"Snow White"},{"insert":"."},{"attributes":{"list":"ordered"},"insert":"\n"},{"insert":"A witch's crystal ball ("},{"insert":{"card-link":"Commander's Sphere"}},{"insert":") related to their divination powers."},{"attributes":{"list":"ordered"},"insert":"\n"},{"insert":"Spooky houses ("},{"insert":{"card-link":"Witch's Cottage"}},{"insert":" and "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Restless Cottage"}},{"insert":") where the witches live at."},{"attributes":{"list":"ordered"},"insert":"\n"},{"insert":"Skulls/skeletons ("},{"insert":{"card-link":"Taste of Death"}},{"insert":", "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Vampiric Tutor"}},{"insert":", "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Necropotence"}},{"insert":", "},{"attributes":{"italic":true},"insert":{"card-link":"Archenemy's Charm"}},{"attributes":{"italic":true},"insert":","},{"insert":" and "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Arcane Signet"}},{"insert":"), which have been associated with ancient festivals honoring the dead or witches who perhaps keep trophies of their victims."},{"attributes":{"list":"ordered"},"insert":"\n"},{"insert":"A black cat ("},{"insert":{"card-link":"Cauldron Familiar"}},{"insert":"), which has been associated with evil witches, bad luck, etc. for centuries."},{"attributes":{"list":"ordered"},"insert":"\n"},{"insert":"Pumpkin lantern ("},{"insert":{"card-link":"Jack-o'-Lantern"}},{"insert":"), which is a part of Irish and Celtic folklore that we have kept to this day."},{"attributes":{"list":"ordered"},"insert":"\n"},{"insert":"Cemeteries and Spirits ("},{"insert":{"card-link":"Overgrown Tomb"}},{"insert":", "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Woodland Cemetery"}},{"insert":", "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Grim Monolith"}},{"insert":", "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Altar's Reap"}},{"insert":", "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Ancient Tomb"}},{"insert":", "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Cavern of Souls"}},{"insert":", and "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Demonic Tutor"}},{"insert":"), since we have celebrated the dead and believed in the boundaries of our living world and the spirit realm for a long time."},{"attributes":{"list":"ordered"},"insert":"\n"},{"insert":"Candy ("},{"insert":{"card-link":"Tainted Treats"}},{"insert":", "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Midnight Snack"}},{"insert":", "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Welcome to Sweettooth"}},{"insert":", "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Candy Trail"}},{"insert":", "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Experimental Confectioner"}},{"insert":", "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Night of the Sweets' Revenge"}},{"insert":", and "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Exotic Orchard"}},{"insert":";

Lastly, to complement the story I mentioned in the beginning about Greta saving the children of her hometown at a Halloween night, we have a clear progression of facts happening in some cards that I added to this deck and that are detailed below. However, these are not 100% accurately related to the story I have invented. These cards are more like inspiration for the story I came up with.\n\nChildren in Greta's hometown have been disappearing lately. The only known fact was that there were traces of children's footsteps in the woods (depicted in "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Trail of Crumbs"}},{"insert":")."},{"attributes":{"list":"ordered"},"insert":"\n"},{"insert":"Greta goes investigating and finds out a couple of cottages in a remote part of her hometown, which were always mentioned in haunted stories by generations of families who lived there (these cottages are depicted in cards already previously mentioned)."},{"attributes":{"list":"ordered"},"insert":"\n"},{"insert":"Children are found imprisoned but alive in these cottages that belonged to a witch's cult in Greta's hometown (depicted in "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Curious Pair // Treats to Share"}},{"insert":")."},{"attributes":{"list":"ordered"},"insert":"\n"},{"insert":"In order to save the children, Greta has to fight some monsters that were conjured by the witches (like the "},{"attributes":{"italic":true},"insert":"Mintstrosity"},{"insert":" card mentioned above)."},{"attributes":{"list":"ordered"},"insert":"\n"},{"insert":"It is later told to Greta by one of the saved children that the witches were preparing potions and whatnot in their cauldrons ("},{"insert":{"card-link":"Feed the Cauldron"}},{"insert":") and then either baking children into food ("},{"insert":{"card-link":"Bake into a Pie"}},{"insert":") or skewing them at the campfire outside along with dead animals ("},{"insert":{"card-link":"Giant's Skewer"}},{"insert":")."},{"attributes":{"list":"ordered"},"insert":"\n"},{"insert":"After the arduous fight, Greta and the children return home safely (depicted in "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Return from the Wilds"}},{"insert":"). The end."},{"attributes":{"list":"ordered"},"insert":"\n"},{"insert":"\nSo, overall, this deck is mainly artistically related to the \"trick\" and \"treat\" themes that were presented since I chose most of the cards for this deck based on their art being associated with Halloween. It also brings up an interpretation of tricks as spells that witches can cast, if we talk about it in a more story-like setting. Another way that I have interpreted \"trick\" was thinking about it as our tradition today of wearing costumes during Halloween, which is followed by eating candy and is where \"treat\" comes into play in this deck - especially through the Food tokens that are created. Lastly, \"trick\" can also be seen as the mechanic of this deck into creating Food tokens at certain times (especially as ETB effects) and being able to sacrifice them and turning them into great payoffs (which are definitely considered as a \"treat\" in Magic the Gathering)!\n"}]}
