Creating Planeswalker Hoard decks (ongoing)
There are the basic Hoard decks that usually have a tribe such as zombie, vampire, or even eldrazi. A Hoard deck is a collection of cards usually about 100 cards, which a team of players play against as the hoard deck plays out free creatures and attacks. You win against a Hoard deck by attacking it and making the deck mill down to no cards left. I'm thinking of a new take, the Planeswalker Hoard deck, where the main idea is to take a planeswalker made for a specific type of creature and play against it.
Planeswalker Hoard specific Planeswalkers have no plus or minus abilities, but instead have abilities that trigger when a certain amount of damage is dealt to them, and there is usually an ability that triggers a second card being cast from the top of the hoard deck.
There should also be a card in the Hoard deck that gives extra counters to the hoard planeswalker or the planeswalker has a healing ability itself. A hoard could have its own ability to differentiate itself from other hoards (Compleation for the phyrexians)
Overall, the deck should have at least 10 different cards and have at least 100 in the deck for added variation on which cards show up the most.
Currently the Phyrexian deck has
24x Overborn Rageling
20x oilborn Writhe
14x Life Purger
12x Phyrexian Compleater
8x Norn's Legionair
8x Gregar's Inquisitor
8x Momentus Explosion
8x Fateful Destruction
6x The Perfect Specimen
2x Phyrexian Eliminator
Currently the deck is pretty gross, and I haven't tested it at all being that I came up with it tonight, but i'd like to see any ideas people come up with as far as planeswalkers for specific decks go being that not all cards need to be custom since hoard is already a thing.
This Idea was Inspired by @CCMTK 's Reaper King Challenge deck, without permission being that I just kind of went with the overall theme. ^^; http://mtgcardsmith.com/user/CCMTK/sets/15194
EDIT: I had also forgotten about rules cards, one for the basic rules of the fight against the deck, and another about any specific differences from any normal fight against a hoard.
There may also be an optional anti-infinite damage combo rule to allow them to be viable, but less so for them it being overpowered. (as all infinite combos are.)
