This is an EDH casual build based the NES Metroid Franchise 2.0. Cards are typically chosen more for flavor and theme and then function. This is a loosely based Sliver deck with slivers filling in for the Metroid creatures. It has a sub-theme creature tokens and big mana, Sisay Weatherlight Captain (no suit Samus) using equipment upgrades and adding sliver bonuses by changing creature type. Some of theme cards:

  • Sisay, Weatherlight Captain (no suit Samus)
  • Sliver Queen (mother brain)
  • Brudiclad, Telchor Engineer - Represent the statues that hold the equipment you find in the levels
  • Kiki-Jiki (Ridley)
  • Morophon - Represents the Ing from Metroid Prime 2
  • Reflections of Littjara - Represents the ancient Chozo race of beings
  • Rukarumel, Biologist - Represents scientists from the Academy researching baby metroid (super metroid)
  • Legacy Weapon - Samus Ship
  • Elixer of Immortatlity (energy tank)
  • Equipment examples (Swiftfoot boots, Helm of the Host, nim deathmantle)

This is 1 of 6 nes game themed decks I did for my playgroups. Theme is around Metroid with Slivers filling in for the metroids. Sisay Weatherlight Captain (Samus no suit) and equipment upgrades her and lets her draw on the power of the slivers. It is a casual deck meant to play in the same power level as the other 5 decks, but always interested in suggestions for other cards related to the theme. This does lean into infinite token creation that can then be slivers.
