Pyrrha, awkwardly: Okay then, so uhm....how should we do this exactly?
Jaune, blushing: W-well, I don't know. I guess we do some couple things around my mother, you know?
Pyrrha: Right, uhm.....what would that be exactly?
Jaune, awkwardly: Y-you know....like, holding hands? And erm...*coughs into fists* and maybe kiss each other on the cheek?
Pyrrha, tilting her head: And those would be considered 'couple things' here?
Jaune: Well, yeah? Obviously. Do....do you not know what couples do?
Pyrrha, shrugging: Not really. Stuff like love isn't that common in hell. Actually, it's usually the opposite of it. Just pain, suffering, and anger all wrapped in fiery damnation.
Jaune:......
Pyrrha: Oh wait, there are a lot of people who have committed adultery down there though.....but those probably aren't the best people to take love advice from.
Jaune: So love is like....foreign to you?
Pyrrha, awkwardly scratching the back of her head: Yeah, I'm exactly not an expert on it at all. *Awkwardly laughs* S-sorry.
Jaune: It's okay. I'm far from an expert too honestly. But damn, really? You don't know anything about love? At all?
Pyrrha: Not really? I know some people have been killed for love, but that's probably all I know.
Jaune: Wow, that's just hard to believe honestly since you look like, well, like this. *Gestures towards all of Pyrrha*
Pyrrha, tilting her head: What's that supposed to mean?
Jaune, blushing more: Yeah. In fact, this might be a bad thing for me honestly. You're WAY out of my league. People might not even believe it.
Pyrrha: *tilts head*
Jaune: You look like you could do way better than me is what I'm trying to say. People might see through our facade. Except for my mom at least. She thinks an arc can get any girl they want.
Pyrrha, frowning: I wouldn't say that.
Jaune: Oh shit, you actually think my mom might see through this facade. I'm that bad looking?
Pyrrha: W-what? No! I just think you look pretty dashing honestly. I don't think you're absent from my league.
Jaune, blushing madly: That's not how that saying goes b-but t-thanks.
Pyrrha: Is your face okay? It keeps turning red. *Steps back* Am I somehow burning you? Am I too dangerous to stand next to cause I could-
Jaune, shaking head: N-no! It's fine! You're fine- IM FINE, I mean!
Pyrrha: *confused*
Jaune, trying to change the subject: So uhm.....you don't know much about humans?
Pyrrha, shaking her head: Not much. Whenever I get summoned here I don't usually stay for chit chat. I usually get summoned, order to kill someone and then I leave to go back home. I just know basic things like kingdoms and some cities that I've been too. I also know vague things that humans do but have no idea what they're supposed to mean.
Jaune: So...you've actually killed people before? Like in...the murder type of way?
Pyrrha, looking away:.....m-maybe?
Jaune:...have you killed anyone famous?
Pyrrha, thinking: Uh......hard to say? I don't exactly know your guys' history.....although, I did kill an Mistrilian duke before on the orders of the king of Atlas. I'm sure that person mightve been famous?
Jaune:.....was that duke named Archie by any chance?
Pyrrha, snapping her finger: Yes! That was his name! Was he super famous?
Jaune: Yeah.....his death kinda kicked off the 200 year bloodshed war.
Pyrrha:.........
Jaune: You were the red blur that cut him in half in public that I've read about in history books?! That was YOU?!
Pyrrha:...maybe....maybe we should stop talking about my past, okay?
Jaune: R-right? Okay. S-sorry for asking. *Awkwardly coughs*
Pyrrha:....please don't make me kill anyone. I really don't like it.
Jaune, rapidly: No no no no! Of course not! I would never! I'm just a loser who needs a date, remember?!
Pyrrha, sighing in relief: Good.
*an awkward pause passes*
Jaune: So uhm back on topic, whenever my mom gets here we should just do couple stuff. Like, holding hands, hugging. W-we might have to kiss once but that's it, I swear!
Pyrrha, nodding: Kissing. That's what you guys do with each other's lips, right?
Jaune, nodding: Yes! That's exactly what it is actually.
Pyrrha: Like this, right?
*Before Jaune could respond, Pyrrha closes the distance between them and kisses Jaune directly on the lips*
Jaune, blushing madly: ?!?!?!?!?!?!??
Pyrrha, pulling away: That's what kissing is, right?
Jaune, face on fire: *high pitch* Y-yeah, that's exactly what i-it is.
Pyrrha: I didn't do it wrong, right?
Jaune, face on fire: Nope! You did R-really good in fact!
Pyrrha, smiling: Good! I knew what it was but never knew it was romantic. Succubuses in hell told me about it but I never knew it was a romantic gesture since...well, the people they kiss usually end up dying.
Jaune, face on fire: Well it's a very romantic gesture for humans. *Airing his shirt out* Like, very very romantic.
Pyrrha smiling: Gotcha. This is kinda fun. I like learning about you guys.
Jaune: *still recovering*
Pyrrha:.....*bits lip*
Jaune: Uhm.....is everything okay?
Pyrrha, awkwardly laughing: Yeah, everything's fine. It's just that......kissing you felt nice. Is that normal?
Political Partners: Ludevic Necro-Alchemist and Ravos, Soultender
This is a strange one. I have suddenly become interesting in using some of the less abundant mechanics of the conspiracy sets, such as Vote and Goad, to build a deck. It’s probably not going to work, but I thought about using esper for the best voting cards and then adding red to get access to donation mechanics and cards with Goad to build a political themed deck. Unfortunately the only combination that made sense was these two for the commanders. We don’t really need double strike and we won’t be using that many artifacts which takes the boros partners out of the picture. Azorius has only Ishai to offer which doesn’t help us much either. Whereas Ludevic gives them incentive to attack others which is one thing we want and Ravos gets us any creatures we may need back.
Here, Take This
This is basically a Zedruu deck, with voting, if you haven’t noticed already. So it will have many of the things such a deck would have. Creatures such as Djinn of Infinite Deceits, Akroan Horse, Drooling Ogre and Steel Golem, Donation spells such as Harmless Offering and then other permanents that donate or exchange control of things such as Conjured Currency and Avarice Totem.
Sleeper Agents
For some reason the thought of donating a creature to another player and then having it beat up someone else really appeals to me. For this Zedruu, the Greathearted among other donation or exchange effects have a strong presence in this deck. As well as enchantments such as Vow of Duty, Lust for War and similar effects to prevent your creatures coming back at you or at least punishing your opponents for doing so. Creatures with Goad such as Grenzo, Havoc Raiser and Jeering Homunculus could also be funny to divert attention away from you.
Everyone has the right to vote (except for Red)
I was surprised to find that there aren’t many voting cards and if some of the best ones weren’t in black this would be just a straight up Zedruu deck. Black gives you access to voting cards such as Capital Punishment, Bite of the Black Rose and Tyrant’s Choice as well as Grudge Keeper which makes voting more interesting. Red doesn’t have cards with vote, unsurprisingly, I don’t think red care who’s in power. Blue and white both have ways to make voting more interesting with Ballot Broker, Brago’s Representative and Illusion of Choice not to mention Expropriate the most powerful of all the voting cards.
It’s good to be King (Or Queen)
Despite giving away potentially everything you own, people are still going to be coming for you, so you’re going to have to stay outta the way. Especially when you start gaining life and make them lose life for having these permanents with Sanguine Bond. Why not use some of my personal favorites? Sphere of Safety, Propaganda, Norn’s Annex and Ghostly Prison as well as Kazuul, Tyrant of the Cliffs and Windborn Muse to make attacking you suddenly very expensive. White has a few fog abilities too, but that’s up to you.
And Finally...
I’m not sure how this deck wins, it just seemed really fun to me at the time, maybe stack all the votes in your favor then Expropriate to cause all the other players to just give up, that would be funny. Anyway, Contested War Zone and Vedalken Plotter are very good ways of donating lands to other players. Since this is four color maybe an Expedition Map, Ravnica Two-Color lands and as many lands that produce any color as possible (Command Tower, Exotic Orchard, City of Brass, Mana Confluence. etc). I do hope you find this both helpful and fun and until next time, Happy Deck Building.
Anyone want to send me stupid little ideas for the characters in the myth AU. maybe about yang having other stupid dragon traits because they are the best so far
