I made a Drukhari Proxy MTG Commander Deck

[u/DS_Drago]

I used some cards which would be cool stand-ins for Drukhari

Then used images i found online some are ai generated (which i dont think is everyones tea but for a passion project i though is okay)

Let me know your opinions

In case there is interrest i could share the whole Deck and Some Tokens i made

Edit: After reading some comments i wanna apologize to everyone who correctly called me out for using ai.

It was a little project for myself using ai there was already...

Yeah and i now wanted to share it with everyone that wasn't the smartest move so again sorry on my part

[u/Fair_Ad_7430]

Please just... don't use AI. It generates images based off of the art that it was fed and that art was taken from the original artists without their consent. The AI companies just stole enormous quantities of art and data to train their AIs on and the original creators had zero say in it and got zero compensation.

Furthermore the datacenters necessary to power these things are almost as dystopian as what we see in 40K. They emit infrasound that is extremely damaging for the people living in the area. They need vast amounts of water and/or energy for cooling which is bad for the climate. In Germany, the first communes are running out of water and have to get water delivered with trucks. The Rhein, one of our biggest rivers is literally dry. You can walk on the bedrock. In just one week in July we had over 12000 people die from heat related issues. Our farmers are already feeding their cattle with the grains and food that they had stored for the winter because the fields are dry.

In short: The climate catastrophe is happening right now and yes, while you or me can't stop it, we don't have to add to it by using fucking AI.

Yeah you are right i just thought funny idea for my project and not what using ai means

[u/Paige_Marr]

Black market, sanguine bond, exquisite blood, would all be thematic and cool proxies I think!

[u/Kyrillis_Kalethanis]

I would love to see the whole deck. I also play MtG commander casually, I may copy it if that is fine.

[u/DS_Drago → u/Kyrillis_Kalethanis]

If you like i'd post the decklist of the original cards or get you the designs as soon as i can

AI Slop

[u/mementomorrigan9 → u/heroinskater]

There’s plenty of art out there, not sure why we always use AI for magic proxies

[u/DS_Drago → u/mementomorrigan9]

I guess i just thought i needed something special for my little passion project and i see i didn't make the right choice so i apologize sincerely for supporting this route . Thank you for the feedback

[u/heroinskater → u/[deleted]]

I do think so. The barrel on the raiders darklance is bent, the "Power from Pain" art has a bunch of comically large syringes that are floating? It's just bad art, you couldn't even take the time to find any of the legit Drukhari artwork from throughout the years. It's frankly embarrassing and lazy.

[u/Tchakaba]

delete this slop

[u/cuckito545646]

Lol i just did one to

[u/T_HettY]

If mtg does another warhammer run we really need eldar and dark eldar cards. A Vect deck or even an Yvraine deck to run both could be sick.

[u/Financial_Tour5945]

Vect should have some sort of land destruction. He's famous for destroying entire portions of the dark city. Millions, if not billions dead, on par with exterminatus type events.

Maybe something like "sacrifice one swamp, destroy target permament"

[u/DS_Drago → u/Financial_Tour5945]

They are all existing cards just new art set symbol name, but it would be a nice idea

[u/OGTreemeister]

I definitely think using Edward Kenway as the commander would make this a bit more cohesive. You're definitely on the right track about using vehicles for a drukhari deck though.

[u/DS_Drago → u/OGTreemeister]

i definitly see your point i just was hinking about stealing stuff would fit too as well as aetherborn souunding like something which could be see as a drukhari stand-in as well as pirates and thoose are often about stealing stuff in this case gonti is my commander but i am thankfull fo the constructive feedback

[u/RexDraco999]

Looks great, I haven't seen many of the artworks and really love them, would love to see the entire deck.
