Because of all these people, we have created a deck together. Here's the finished product. Not only that, but I am making this deck in real life once I have all the components together. I want to thank you all for participating. I hope to do something like this again. If anyone wants to play against this deck, I'll be on Untap.in as SirFowler testing this out.
In honour of Boza's earlier request for Lair-love: Treva's Ruins

How is null rod so damn expensive! It does not do anything! It does nothing!
If un-cards are OK, perhaps something will end in U and I hope to catch it and add a certain planeswalker.
Finally, next one is Mimic Vat

I wouldn't say Null Rod does nothing. It turns off literally any equipment, cards that can untap themselves like Grim Monolith and/or Basalt Monolith, and a lot of artifact commanders like Memnarch and/or Karn, Silver Golem.

Boza: Pretty easy--Null Rod is unbelievably powerful, despite what its flavour text says. It completely shuts down Affinity decks, mana abilities of artifacts, equipment, artifact-based infinite combos, and many other decks. While it may not be a legacy main-deck staple, it is one of the most potent sideboard cards in the entire game.

I know how powerful it is, I was referencing the super awesome flavor text and a vintage powerhouse that shuts down moxes and black lotuses and should cost a pretty penny. I am still surprised it does, as I have never looked how much it costs.
I will be more diligent about prices going forward.

Sooo, with no cards starting with x (to my knowledge) should we re-roll the next starting letter?

there's quite a few that start with X. Anything related to Xathrid, Xenagos was a huge character in Theros, Xiahou Dun, the One-Eyed, Xira Arien from Legends.

Hah, my bad (forgot to turn of multicolor reqiurement in search)

Can anyone think of any cards ending in an A or a K? If so, I have a couple of cards in mind.

I think requesting a certain letter goes a bit against the spirit of the game. But, if you insist: Lady Orca, one of the few Common Legendary creatures ever printed.

Sorry. I guess you're right about the spirit of the game. It was just more of a suggestion than an actual request. Just a lot of cards end with the same common letters like R, S, and L. Plus, it was a little difficult to add this one card in mind since not too many cards end in A or K. I won't make any changes to the game, since it's been working out well so far.
Anyway, my next suggestion is Artisan of Kozilek.

Ever After

You might be overthinking this, it seems like you made this a game and a deck with a fun story, nobody's going to call you out for breaking any rules set.
Epochrasite has always been a pet card of mine, and it does kind of survive the Child explosion.
