Art You Ready?

The title of the article pretty much says it all. If you want to build a deck that's both beautiful and maddening, "proxying" up a deck using only officially released Art Series cards might be the apotheosis.

As it turns out, the inimitable Jake Browne has already done just this, designing, buying, and playing the Art Series version of cards in a Jodah deck:

Here's a quick video on my Frankenstein's monster: WORLD'S FIRST AND ONLY all art card commander deck. I think it was, all in, around $17.

(I'm not sure the embedded Tweet is working, but you should definitely click through. The video is inspiring!)

You should know what you're getting into, of course: this will be a nightmare to play, doubly so for your opponents. Arguably such a deck will be more of a work of art than a playable thing, but with that caveat noted, let's begin.

---

 

There are 919 unique cards that have gotten the Art Series treatment. Some cards, mostly lands, have multiple versions, so you might have some aesthetic flexibility.

I went through and found all of the commanders who themselves have an Art Series representation, and then for each of those, I found the cards that composed their decks on EDHREC, and the frequencies with which those cards are run.

I somewhat arbitrarily decided that if a commander had at least 90 unique Art-Series-available cards in any of their EDHREC decks, they were potentially viable. From there, I further filtered down to the commanders for whom more than 10% of their EDHREC inclusions were featured in the Art Series. This gets us down to 63 options, which I list below, along with their 20 most-decked Art Series cards:+

(The EDHREC shortcode for card image and card hover won't let me specify the Art Series cards, so you'll mostly have to take my word for the fact that the cards listed do have Art Series versions.)

There are a couple of clear patterns. First, five-color commanders are well-represented: as you increase the number of colors, there are just more options to be found in the Art Series. The other theme is Dragons. Dragons tend to be high-profile cards, more likely to be featured in the Art Series, and so Dragon-heavy decks in all colors are accessible to the Art Series enthusiast.

If you like rolling dice and have an infinite capacity for memorizing results tables, you are in luck! Farideh, Devil's Chosen is the single commander whose components are most-widely represented by Art Series cards.

I think a more-palatable option might be one of the high-color-count Dragon decks, lead by Tiamat, but don't let me tell you what to do! The commanders listed above are plausibly the easiest to build, but here is a list of every commander who appears on an Art Series card and also has at least 90 cards (played in at least one of their decks on EDHREC) in the Art Series:

Much respect if you opt to build a mono-color deck!

I 've been wanting to build Tazri, Beacon of Unity, so I thought this would be a great opportunity to do just that. Here's what I came up with:

---

Some folks seem to want to build Tazri as a D&D theme deck, but I cut all of the dungeon-related cards, focusing almost entirely on playing creatures with relevant types and whatever spells I could get my hands on. This is not a strong deck, and Archidekt estimates that it would cost almost $500 to buy, but it has at least two things going for it: (1) buying the Art Series version can't cost more than $20-30, and (2) recalling my previous article here, it is certifiably hip:

Thoughts? Questions? Critiques? Suggestions?

Let me hear them! Please tell me if you actually attempt this stunt, I want to see pictures! Can you build anything that's actually playable? If you have an excellent memory and a tolerant playgroup, tell me about it at @mtg_ds on Twitter.
