Update!

Too bouncy to sit and play FNM for a few hours, so I stayed home and finished up work on a couple of decks.

Just completed:
Atalya, Samite Master
Morinfen
Oyobi, Who Split The Heavens
Soramaro, First to Dream

Nearly finished:
Hakim, Loreweaver (50%)
Sisters of Stone Death (50%)

Begun construction:
Circu, Dimir Lobotomist
Rhys, the Redeemed
Uril, the Miststalker

Yeah, I'm going for a couple easier ones to work on at the moment. I've managed to get some really bad generals out of the way (Jasmine Boreal, Oyobi, Autumn Willow, Atalya), and some of those turned out to be pretty fun decks. Jasmine Boreal is a G/W "vanilla" deck, with power/toughness boosting auras and equipment and Muraganda Petroglyphs to round it out. Autumn Willow is a strange green Voltron with lots of pump spells and graveyard recursion. I just finished Atalya and Oyobi, so I haven't tested them yet, but Atalya looks fun to play (or at least frustrating to play against) with all her damage prevention/life gain (topped off with Felidar Sovereign of course). Oyobi, well, just looks bad, frankly. Not one of my stronger efforts. There are quite a number of good spirits in mono-W out there, but most of them that I own are in other decks, and I don't want to break my quest rules. I think I'll run her out on EDH night next week and see how she plays. I don't have high hopes.

I would have been much further along this week, but I spent some time doing two other things for the quest beyond deckbuilding: One, I searched out all my sleeves that I still have and sorted them so that I knew what I was going to need; and Two, I've actually been pre-planning a bunch more decks. I've got preliminary decklists ready for another dozen decks beyond what I'm working on now. Some of them are way too big, others far too small, but they are good starts. Generals with these decklists right now include Garza Zol, Tobias Andrion, Ob-Nixilis, Endrek Sahr, Mistform Ultimus, Experiment Kraj, Adamaro, and Glissa the Traitor, among others just begun. I don't plan to build all of those soon, but as I pull together cards for other decks, I'll set aside cards that I know I've put on those lists so that I can start prepping them.
