So this deck is inspired by

This deck's version of the tinies Show

A's for Aurelia, turned into some meat.

B's for Basandra, who brought too much heat.

C is for Chandra who burned down the place,

D is for Djeru, so true to his faith.

E's for Emrakul, who took a long nap.

F is for Fumiko-- died to a tap.

G's for Gisela, dropped by a Blightwidow.

H's for Hazoret, who fell from the window.

I is for Ink-Eyes, betrayed in her pact,

J is for Jor, stabbed right in the back.

K is for Kalitas, weak to persuasion.

L is for Licia-- had no evasion.

M is for Mathas, branded with an iron,

N's for Neheb, who died in a fire.

O is for Odric-- died of old age.

P is for Pia, who had a bad wage.

Q's for the Queen, who lost her head,

R is for Ravos-- mixed up with the dead.

S is for Sheoldred, turned out to be a dud.

T's for Tajic-- thanks, Innocent Blood!

U is for Ulamog, spent too long asleep.

V's for Vish Kal-- his last word was "meep."

W's for Withengar, locked into a knife.

X is for Xiahou, a big fan of strife.

Y's for Yahenni, who wasted away.

Z is for Zurgo, who beat face all day!

Best CID possible for the theme of "A legendary creature for each letter of the alphabet." Only hiccup was W, which I satisfied with Withengar Unbound  . Could've used Wort, Boggart Auntie, but that would have been a waste.

Sidenote: After making this deck, I learned that Zurgo Helmsmasher is the last legendary creature alphabetically. WIN!

General strategy's just to play legendary creatures, make them big, and turn sideways. There might be more? I don't know.
