Chrono Trigger has been one of my favorite games ever since I was a kid. Having recently revisited with my own kids, we decided it was time to try and make a Chrono Trigger inspired deck. As with all the deck in our Ode to videogame series, these decks often have combos and not a lot of interaction, but cards are typically chosen to fit the with the videogame theme. If you dig the deck, feel free to use it as a basis for your own creation and make the changes that will best suit you and your playgroup. We are always interested in other ideas or cards that we might have missed that fit the theme better. This deck has a lot of Legendary creatures and tries to get big mana going as early as possible.

The Breakdown (theme)

• Lavos = Progenitus (commander)
• Chrono = Raiyuu, Storm's Edge
• Luca = Jhoira of the Ghitu
• Marle = Hanna, Ship's Navigator
• Robo = Karn, Scion of Urza
• Ayla = Kinnan, Bonder Prodigy
• Frog/Glenn = Glarb, Calamity's Augur
• Magus = Sorin, Grim Nemesis
• Epoch = Weatherlight (Vehicle) (originally included the card Tatsumasa, the Dragon Fang to represent the Masamune but cut it for this first go around)

Gurus:

• Guru of Life (Melchior) = Arcum Daggon
• Guru of Time (Gaspar) = Urza, Prince of Kroog
• Guru of Reason (Balthasar) = Arcanis the Omnipotent

Enemies/time periods:

• Zeal (evil queen) = Drana, Kalastria Bloodchief
• Dalton = Garth One-eye
• Azala = Atla Palani, Nest Tender
• Prehistoric Era (dinosaurs) = Etali Primal Storm, Ghalta Primal Hunger, Zetalpa Primal Dawn, Gold-forged Thopteryx
• Future Era (robots) = Darksteel Colossus, Forensic Gadgeteer, composite golem
• Masa = Bruna, the fading light
• Mune = Gisela, the broken blade
• Masamune = Brisela, voice of nightmares
• Ozzie = Vial Smasher the Fierce
• Flea = Obeka
• Dark Depths = Another stand in for Lavos

Cards that felt on theme: - Ramos Dragon Engine (dragon tank) Legacy Weapon, Thran Temporal Gateway, Temporal Aperture, Sundial of the infinite, The Millennium Calendar, Thousand-year Elixir, and Beacon of Tomorrows
