England 932 A.D.

We have sort of fashioned our own universes beyond with this deck, and we bid you welcome to our court at camelot

Consider this space to be an anarcho-syndiclist commune where we sort of act as a supreme executive officer of the week.

8/2024 Secret lair received and incoporated!! Trying out thespian's stage and dark depths, as the token is awesome, and Knight of the reliquary can fetch it. The african/European swallow, And we want a shrubbery make the list! I also picked up the special guest Sword of Fire and Ice, so we can cut down the mightiest tree in the forest with a herring.

Report from Magiccon Chicago 2024:

Had a lot of fun playing games, and we got a kill with Zodiac Rabbit and Hatred which is always fun. Also, Aaron Forsythe and Matt Gottlieb saw the deck, took pictures of the alters, and said it was cool!! How fun is that? They also gave me a Fallout collector booster before the set dropped!! Made my whole weekend that much more special!

Looking for more suggestions for the Galahad storyline, as that only has galahad himself, and also a new card to represent Lancelot. Maybe Puresteel Paladin

New alters in the works for beast within, sol ring, Recruiter of the guard, and charming prince.

New considerations for additions to the deck: Council's Judgment for the constitutional peasant

Suggestions welcome!

This is a continually evolving project, Let me know what you think of the card selection and what aspects of the film are needing more development. Recently I have been thinking about doing alters for the shocklands in the deck.

Deck theory:

The movie is essentially divided up into assembling the knights, and then the main questlines for each character.

The Tales of Sir Robin, Bedivere, Lancelot, and Galahad

Other plotlines include: The cave of caerbannog which includes Tim the enchanter, and the rabbit.

The knight who say ni are also present in the form of the knights of the reliquary, and Avenger of zendikar, most of our ramp (questing for shrubberies) and some land alters. And now Thespian's Stage and dark depths! (Also Maze of ith)

Arthur: Kenrith the returned king

Patsy : stone forge mystic

Chaos warp : John Cleese at a desk on the beach (and now for something completely different)

Terminus: classic monty python foot.

Forest: knights who say ni!

Sun titan: three headed giant

Urborg: swamp castle

Snow covered plains: frozen lands of nador

Plains: jumping sun

Chulane, teller of tales: man with quill

Wood elves: roger the shrubber

Yisan wanderer bard: robin's minstrel

Guards: Palace jailer

Progenitus - The legendary black beast of Aaaaarrrrrgggggh......

Quest for the Holy Relic - A quest, sadly it won't grab a grail, but it's a fun way to find excalibur (sword of x and y) and equip it for free.

Witch Hunt - Burn her!! Burn her!!

Cannibalize - In the frozen lands of Nador, they were forced to eat robin's minstrels, and there was much rejoicing.

Day of Judgment - Good Idea oh lord! Course it's a good idea!!!

Inquisition of Kozilek - no one expects it (mine is in spanish)

Ordered Migration - are you suggesting coconuts migrate?

Rout - Run Away! Run Away!

Wrath of God - Like those miserable psalms they're so depressing.

Crib Swap - This actually turns a creature into a newt, and if you use it on an opposing commander, they can "get better"

King of Swamp Castle: You only killed the bride's father, you know. Recruiter of the guard

Sir Lancelot: stillmoon cavalier

Dismember - It's just a flesh wound

Fact or Fiction - What is your name? What is your quest? What is the airspeed velocity of an unladen swallow?

Hatred - Look at the bones!!

Aeolipile - This is the classic interpretation of the holy hand grenade.

Engineered Explosives - Hand grenade mark 2. Brother maynard (trinket mage) can fetch 2 different holy handgrenades, this, and aether spellbomb

Saffi Eriksdotter- Message for you sir!

Sol Grail - our holy grail (signed by Christopher Rush for extra style points)

Staff of Nin -Tim the enchanter's staff

Sword of truth and justice secret lair edition- excalibur with relevant flavor text.

Angry Mob - We have found a witch may we burn her?

Angus mackenzie - tim.

Oathsworn knight - Black Knight

Deranged Hermit - The old man from scene 24

Lu Xun, Scholar General - Sir Bedivere

Avacynian Missionaries- The monks of the plague village

Musician - Robin's minstrels

Norin the Wary - Brave sir Robin

Prodigal Sorcerer - There are some who call him, Tim?

Akroan horse - Perhaps if we built a giant wooden badger (my trojan rabbit)

Rafiq of the Many - Galahad

Trinket Mage - Brother Maynard (altered)

Zodiac Rabbit - That Rabbit's Dynamite!
