5:30 PM, On a Saturday, Philadelphia, PA
Dennis: You are dressed like the Phantom of the Opera. He's not a vampire.
Charlie: He eats theater people.
Dennis: No, he doesn't.
Mac: I think he might.
Frank: He does.
Dennis: Do you even know who the phantom of the opera is?
Mac: He might not.
Frank: He doesn't.
Charlie: I don't.

==============================================================================================================

My other decks are where I do weird stuff. Stuff that's not huffin' paint, killin' rats, or bein' the best damn Bird Lawyer this world has ever seen. Those decks couldn't even make I more smarter, so this is a deck for the everyday man. This is going to be black and red doing what black and red do best: hit stuff and kill stuff. Black is the brains, Red is the looks, and White is our wildcard, bitches!

==============================================================================================================

Mac: Yeah! Yeah, that's the classic setup. You know this, no? Look, every great crew in history has followed that basic dynamic, right? Looks, brains, wildcard. Think about it! The A-team did it. Scooby Doo did it. The Ghostbusters did it!
Charlie: Oh shit!
Mac: Yes! Right? Our problem is that we don't stick to that basic format and it gets us in trouble.
Dennis: So what you're saying is that by breaking from that format, we're actually limiting our ability to be as successful as those organizations.

==============================================================================================================

I don't want to do anything particularly fancy with this deck. I want to play vampires, I want them to do vampire things, I want fire and death to be on call 24/7 just like these colors know how to do. White, just like the wildest wildcard to ever cut brake lines, is fun to have around and sometimes it pulls off impossible feats.

Even as much as I just wanted to throw the precon into sleeves and call it a day I just can't leave it alone. I'll be doing vampire swaps, some artifact, enchantment, and land shuffling, and then we'll see where we go from there. If I can figure out how to make this deck in any way more Charlie-aligned I will almost certainly take it. There just has to be a card that screams Frank Reynolds out there, and he should be in here instead.

In conclusion...

Hello fellow Planeswalker. This you should vote me. I leave power. Good. Thank you, thank you. If you vote me, I'm hot. What? Taxes, they'll be lower... son. The Markov vote is the right thing to do Innistrad, so do.
