I need card suggestions for this Deck. General is going to be Reaper King to represent skull kid. I need an idea for the four giants, as they are skull kid's friends, Maze's End will represent The moon, and if I use maze's end then the moon has destroyed Termina. basically, I want it to be a lot of restarts and board wipes, maybe a good artifact to be the mask, the four giants, and then more and more stall until an eventual win happen. Can someone help with some card suggestions?
Perhaps for the 4 giants, you can use the Primordial's from Gatecrash, like Molten Primordial or Sylvan Primordial . Another option is the Titan creatures, which have the subtype "Giant" like Grave Titan or Sun Titan .
There are several cards with mask in their name, like Farsight Mask , Mask of Riddles (most awesome flavor wise imo) or Ivory Mask
Awesome idea to make this deck btw! I really love the Zelda games.

My only real thought for flavor cards for this deck is that Sun Quan, Lord of Wu could work for Epona. The horse really reminds me of Epona and the effect seems pretty good flavor wise since it was nearly impossible to get hit by enemies on that horse.

You could use 4 of the Nephilim from Guildpact as the giants, since you have the right colors for all of them. They're really fun creatures to play with.
Dune-Brood Nephilim
Glint-Eye Nephilim
Ink-Treader Nephilim
Witch-Maw Nephilim
Yore-Tiller Nephilim

Oh You gotta put In Tombstone Stairwell For the hidden graves in the zelda games. and Citanul Flute for the Ocarina maybe. a bow.. maybe Viridian Longbow Oh and Keys! Cloud Key is a good variable discounter, or Galvanic Key if youre gonna have artifacts that tap. Who would be a Good Epona? Nightmare maybe Carnival Hellsteed ? Wow we are all over the color pie here.

And I love the Earlier Suggestion Of Illusionary Mask . Thats very cool and Interesting. Maybe for the giants you could use Forces. [Verdant Force], Baleful Force Etc. They would be cool since each has an ability trigger at your upkeep. Other than that I would say the Gods of Theros make the most Thematic Sense in my opinion.

The Bringer cycle could be the giants:
Bringer of the Red Dawn
Bringer of the Black Dawn
Bringer of the White Dawn
Bringer of the Green Dawn
Bringer of the Blue Dawn
Depending on how you build the deck, you could exclude the white one.

Emerald Medallion , Ruby Medallion , and friends for when you cut through shrubs.
You need a sword, too... Sword of Vengeance ?
Oh and 50 Zodiac Rooster s.

Thank you guys so much. Having so many suggestions for the Giants is really awesome. The primordial, The Titans, The Nephilim, The forces, and the Bringers.... It's a lot to think about for the. The medallions for Rupees, I couldn't believe I forgot about them. And the Roosters, must have 1 in the deck. So much fun for the theme. I think the flute is a really awesome suggestion and really fits the Majora's mask theme of the deck. Especially since at the end of the game you are Calling the four giants with the ocarina. I originally didn't want to have Link or Epona in the deck but I may consider more creatures now. So perhaps help with the enemies, the creatures I can use for them. The flavor of tombstone stairwell is fun for the deck, even if what it does isn't too great.
I thank you all for suggestions so far and I will start working on the deck soon. I can't wait to see more suggestions

Also, maybe some land fetch cards for the gates. Those would be good to have

Jp3ngu1nb0y laugh so hard at those 50 Zodiac Rooster . If thed eck was in my playgroup i would vote for an agreement so you can use more than 1 rooster, but only if you've been beaten badly for a few games!

Oh and Time Stop and perhaps Time Ebb Since that's one of the main points of the game was manipulating the same the days repeatedly at differing speeds of Time. An extra turn spell out two would fit Flavor-wise, but some find them annoying

How about Figure of Destiny for Link? Starts off small and inexperienced, but eventually grows more skilled and powerful. You can also look into the Level Up creatures for such a theme.
And I'm sorry to bring the thread a little off-topic, but has anyone ever heard of the "Link is dead in Majora's Mask" theory?

I have heard of that theory and heavily enjoy that theory. And thanks for the suggestion for link. I'll look at level up cards.
