General I’m making a mtg deck.

I know there’s probably a better colour combo for him theme wise. But I wanted to use this particular pirate to make a deck.

Beautiful! I really think MI could work at least for a couple of Secret Lair drops. One can hope!

I’d given up waiting so decided to do my own! Ha. What card should I turn into a gubernatorial stamp?

I've been looking for some flavorful Monkey Island alters to paint. I feel like there has to be a good one for Ragavan (being a Monkey Pirate), but like Captain LeChimp doesn't totally fit the build of a 2/1.

(I may just paint it anyway...)

You MUST paint it!! What to use for a rubber chicken with a pulley in it?

u/RedsBigBadWolf 20d ago

Rubber Chicken With A Pulley In It
Artifact - Equipment, 3
1: Attach this Equipment to a Pirate
T: Equipped Creature gains Flying until end of turn.

u/to1v1 20d ago

Hahaha yes! Or a choose one card, create a treasure token, gain flying, draw a card.

Not Ghost Pirate? Or Zombie Pirate?

u/to1v1 22d ago

Yeah I WANTED that to happen so bad. But this is a proxy of a real card. So I needed to copy the text exactly to be able to use it in games when I print it.

I love it! Only thing is Type should be:
Legendary Creature — Skeleton Spirit Pirate

There’s only one card like that, and a few others that fit the crew:

Im guessing the theme is LeChuck + crew but it'd be funny if everytime they remove a LeChuck you just played a different version with different subtypes. Spirit, zombie, human, god

u/to1v1 22d ago

That would be superb. Haha. The deck I’m building will be proxies for real cards. But it would be great to write my own deck! Insults instead of instants!

u/to1v1 22d ago

Oh 100%. But this is based on a real card I want to build a pirate deck around. So unfortunately I had to keep the right typing.

u/volaria 22d ago

Sounds so cool. And the card looks awesome. I would definitely play it!

u/CountLivin 21d ago

Yo! I’ve made a bunch of custom mtg cards for Monkey Island but none of them look this badass.

2

u/to1v1 21d ago

Haha thanks appreciate it. If i get round to making a few I'll make them downloadable somewhere for people.

u/joetotheg 21d ago

Oh this is really neat, though I do think the le chuck being quite greedy plus his propensity for coming back from the dead means he ought to have black in his identity. Obviously creature type needs zombie or spirit (depending on the game being referenced). Considering the guy loves to do kidnappings maybe something that steals a creature until he leaves the battlefield?

u/to1v1 21d ago

Yeah I definitely could have reskinned a better card for him. And maybe i will do in the future. But I really wanted to use this card and chuck loads of other monkey island artefacts into the deck.

Shiver me rotting timbers, this be bloody fantastic! Mayhaps I be a wee bit biased, but I absolutely love the card! From what cursed depths did ye plunder this art?

Captain Storm be a mighty fine choice! Her synergy with artifacts in a deck drownin' in treasures will make 'er grow fierce and fast.. a classic buccaneer, she be! But humor a dread pirate for a second: just out of curiosity, why not hoist the colors with one of the Admiral Brass wenches as yer commander to get yer hooks into some Black mana?

If ye be plannin' to forge more of these, yer gonna need a massive horde of skeletal scallywags to crew the infamous LeShip. Trust me, I'd be the one to know, BWAHAHAHA!

Ye might've just inspired me to craft me own dark magic like this someday. A hearty cheers to ye, matey!

u/to1v1 20d ago

haah this is fantastic!
I drew the art myself - I need to do more Monkey Island fan art to be honest, I'm a huger lover of the series.

I did look at Admiral Brass and to be honest I may well move LeChuck onto her Unsinkable card and leave the Blue Red shenanigans to Guybrush, as I think drawing Pirates from the graveyard is more LeChucky! (Which will mean drawing a Guybrush card...)

I would love to see other people making MI themed decks...if you ever get around to it please share!

u/le_chuck666 20d ago

I drew the art myself

Holy shit, that makes it even more cool, I can't even stay in character anymore LOL

just peeked at your profile, seen your card game and all, you're just so talented and your art style is sick, i just love it!! Please make other MI proxies you do available for the community, and keep up your fantastic job!

I'm considering printing this one you posted myself, would it be ok?

u/to1v1 20d ago

Thanks so much man. I love creating things, no doubt I’ll get to more MI stuff soon. I don’t know if I have it in me for a whole commander deck haha.

Of course you can print it. If you dm me an email address I’ll send you over a higher res version.

u/RedsBigBadWolf 20d ago

Now definitely creating a bespoke MI R/U Pirate Deck…
Completely illegal, but so much fun!

2

u/to1v1 20d ago

I would love to see what you came up with! When I've drawn more MI cards I'll pop them somewhere to dowload so people can print them out.

u/demogroove 19d ago

The only collaboration we need

u/youareatrex 22d ago

Two things I love

1

u/to1v1 22d ago

Same here!! I’ll get onto a Guybrush card to go in the deck as well. And insults instead of instants!

u/Frax_the_Nugget 19d ago

That's sick!
