Instant (12)
This deck is a Sultai () colored deck meant to embody the purest and most innocent use of force- the direct kind, where we trade life for life, blow for blow. Buckle up for a really dangerous ride atop the strongest dragon from Tarkir, yet.. Teval. Arbiter of Virtue.
"..Arete represents much more than just a deity of ancient times. To the ancient Greeks, Arete was a guiding force, inspiring them to strive for excellence in all aspects of their lives. It was believed that through hard work and dedication, one could attain the pinnacle of Arete, fully realizing their inherent potential..."
"..The only known story involving Arete is “Hercules at the Crossroads,” in which Arete offers glory and a life of struggle against evil to Heracles, while Kakia offers wealth and pleasure..."
"..The first was Arete, the embodiment of Happiness and Virtue, and the second was Kakia, the embodiment of Pleasure and Vice.."
"..Arete offered Hercules a life of happiness through hard work and the pursuit of noble goals, but warned that this path would involve effort and sacrifice. Kakia offered a life of ease and immediate pleasure, but warned that these pleasures were fleeting and unfulfilling..."
"..In the end, Hercules chose to follow Arete and pursue a virtuous and fulfilling life, understanding that the path to true happiness was worth the effort.."
-
This deck is meant to draw on the typical measures of Arete, but with my own personal twist- that Arete is a benevolent force capable of taking the form of a Sultai Dragon.
-
Someone who offers up the most incredible powers, at steep and terror-filled prices. Be filled with virtue in your choices and be resolved in the moves you must make.. to survive.
