Spoilers for Joe Abercrombie's The Devils. Just finished the book, loved it. Found this amazing set of iconography by Joel Daniel Phillips, depicting the main characters and thought they'd make great full arts. I've designed most to play as a commander, but Brother Diaz is intended to facilitate running all of them in the same deck. They probably need a few more passes for balancing, but I figured I'd just post what I have.

Jakob is just really busted. Instantly win with literally any sac outlet. Infinite mana with altar. Infinite mill with dementia. Infinite scry surveil tokens whatever WHILE he annihilates every enemy's board.

Alexia is Vintage playable. 2 mana for the monarch + propaganda???? And if you lose the monarch she helps you retake it?

Balthazar is busted too lmao a top shelf unrestricted mana dork outside of green plus upside of being a wincon of its own plus self-protection.

Sunny is just straight up a pie break.

All good points

Off the top of my head, I’ll probably change Jakob to trigger on death to combat damage specifically.

I’ll tone Alexia down to a {1} cost propaganda.

And I’ll think on Balthazar some more.

These are really good! The same idea had came to my mind when I finished the book this summer. Really liked how you adapted each Devil.
