Each of the following months of this and the upcoming year will have that month's winner get a custom printed commander deck from myself @murkletins aka Mercy.

Thank you for reading!
Sincerely,

Required Power Level: "Any power level from playable upwards."
Will Deck Tiers Matter: "No, it's based on the quality of the deck in relation to the commander, rather than power level."
Submit in the following format: "Text names of individual cards due to custom cards being present likely. Label the quantity of each card as well. Custom cards must be linked."
What Cards Will Be Printed: "For every single copy of cards in the deck, that is correct. Even basic lands."
Quality and Balance concerns of decks: "Of course, if it is Leovold busted. It won't be accepted for example."
Do the other Custom cards get considered: "Yes, we strive for balanced, but effective decks."
Would a full custom deck affect the judging: "Not much, so long as the cards are balanced."
May we use other card editors: "Of course, myself use MSE after all."
How long will this continue for: "You have until the beginning of January to complete your deck for the January prize. Whereas you have until the beginning of each other month to apply for those. Once you enter a deck, it's entered for the whole thing unless you'd like to remove it from the entry pool."
Do we need to resubmit the decks for other months: "No need to resubmit, they are recurring entries that stay in the entry pool. Unless you'd like to remove it from the entry pool."
Can we edit, switch or remove our decks: "You can edit, switch out, or remove your entries as you please."

1: is there a specific power level for the decks?
2: are they judged based on power or how well they function within the scale used? for example will a badly constructed tier 1 deck beat a well constructed tier 3 deck?
3: in what format should we submit our decklists?
4: are you going to print proxies for each card in the deck or only the custom cards?

1: Does the quality and balance of the commander get taken into the calculations?
2: Does the quality and balance of the other custom cards inserted get taken into the calculations?
3: If I were to make a deck of entirely custom cards, what would that do to the calculations, since I can make each card synergize almost perfectly?

Just a few questions...
1. May the custom cards for the deck be created in another card making software, MSE for example?
2. I'm a little confused about how long this contest will continue for. Could you please re-define this? I'm only asking because I want to know how much time I will have to complete the deck. Sorry for the inconvenience, I'm just a little confused.
3. May we re-submit the same deck if we do not win during a month (in the next month for example)?
1. May the custom cards for the deck be created in another card making software, MSE for example?
Answer: Of course, myself use MSE as an example always due to it being non-browser related. You are welcome to do so, especially if you want those special templates that aren't available in browser.
2. I'm a little confused about how long this contest will continue for. Could you please re-define this? I'm only asking because I want to know how much time I will have to complete the deck. Sorry for the inconvenience, I'm just a little confused.
Answer: You have until the beginning of January to complete your deck for the January prize. Whereas you have until the beginning of each other month to apply for those. Once you enter a deck, it's entered for the whole thing unless you'd like to take it out from the entries.
3. May we re-submit the same deck if we do not win during a month (in the next month for example)?
Answer: No need to resubmit, they are recurring entries that stay in the entry pool. Unless you'd like to take it away from the entries.
Bonus Answer: You can remove or switch out your entries as you please.
Added a Questions and Answers section to the main post, for your convenience.
If you'd like to help improve that section, just send us feedback and myself will gladly edit the post.Awesome, thanks!
Stay tuned.

This deck needs some fixing, and the commanders are probably to powerful, but the only way to fail is to not try, so why not?
(The links to the custom cards are embedded in the words/image.)
I still have to make the deck, which could possibly take a few months as there will be a good chunk of custom cards. This should be fun!
Tales from the Crypt Keeper challenge (Lessons to be told!)
As long as you label it competitive cEDH. It should be fine.
