Magic the Gathering

PIKACHU, I CHOOSE YOU!!!!! (44 cards) by hipponox

Finished Deck

6.10/10 (<10 votes)


Deck link: http://www.mtgvault.com/ViewDeck.aspx?DeckID=33418

play death wish, put the pokemon card pikachu into your hand (or any card from anywhere, it doesn't specify), play it with eureka or now with Jhoira (the "more" legal option- card used thanks toa suggestion from ajaxsawdy2, eureka still sideboarded to show the original idea), use joiner adept to add yellow and white mana (it says any color mana) to your mana pool, use thunder jolt and you win. : ) of course you should win anyway just because you played pikachu in the first place, your opponent should sensibly admit defeat. lets be serious- you can't beat pikachu.

dont rate down because its stupid and illegal- i am fully aware. : )

of course, pokemon uses energy, not mana but who honestly cares. as i said, if you play pikachu, you should win automatically.

There are better pokemon cards out there than piakchu but I must admit this is pretty hilarious.
Btw does pikachu actually give 20 damage or do you cos of its awsome presence on the field?

+1 from me.

there is a card in unhinged called r&ds secret lair that says each card plays as it is written.
it'd make the deck work legitemately. it would also be funnier if you used the old versions of wrath of god that say ''bury all creatures''

Dude, if you build this deck, you need to get some Mudholes to mutilate (old tradition in our Magic circle). Split 'em in half and glue the back half of them onto Pikachu so that no one will see it coming.

I am really sorry to tell you this, but in the MtG Comprehensive rules, it says that a permanent is defined by its type being either Creature, Enchantment, Artifact, Land, or Planeswalker... Sadly the Pikachu is not any one of those so it is quite flawed because you cannot put . Nice try though :P (Sorry, my judge instincts must tell you this) And honestly other than that it would be legal...

Actually you need another wish card to fetch yourself an energy card to use on pikachu.. You can't use MtG mana on Pikachu.. Just saying but anyway its only for fun so let us assume that MtG's mana is the same as Pokemon's energy.. LOL... Nice.. Me and my friends are also talking about this topic a long time ago... What if pokemon tcg are mixed with MtG, VS, Yugi Oh!, etc.? that would be fun..

lol. depends on what you mean. i think pikachu is the shit, but in the pokemon game i guess it sucks (ive never played it, just collected the cards). i could have used charizard or something. i just chose pikachu because he's the most famous and recognizable one. you can also do yu-gi-oh cards (which would be devastating because they have like power in the 1000s).

Eurika "technicaly" doesnt work.

But jhoria of the ghitu does! (she only specifies Nonland card, and pikachu is NOT a land card)
so just suspend him for four turns and put him (and his energy cards.... if you MUST :p) into play!

I don't know if you can target a player with pikachu, so you might have to use a stuffy doll for the kill shot.

oops, its spelled Jhoira of the Ghitu, in case that makes a difference.
And get yourself some of those cool sleeves with the Magic: The Gathering card back as the picture on it and nobody would see this coming till BAM!

And, it is legal! (well, again... "Technicaly" the wish(s) only pull cards from your sideboard, but ONLY in formal tournament play... so there!)

no problem. Look up my "burn by beatdown" deck in the vault sometime and tell me what you think!

And this has got to be the coolest deck EVER in magic: the gathering
I mean seriously, how many other ccg's even let you play cards from OTHER ccg's?

Another correction, errata specifiys that its ONLY during SANCTIONED games that you're limited to the cards in your sideboard, in non-sanctioned games it does in fact mean any card that you own thats in reach! (last i checked anyways)

actually hexmage only works on permanents.... believe me i would have miled that by now with the living end card... anyway... aside from having to pay half your life ... because counterspell owns it ...
its a cool idea...
and id use the card that says all cards play as written...
i like that card and someone mentioned it... the old wrath of god says bury all creatures...
and technically pikachu isnt a creature...
he's a pokemon...
lol
you'd have to bring a shovel and a box to bury them in ....
lol
of course at that point they'd concede... (at least i hope they would)
nice idea

Does anyone care about the normal rulings with this deck? It's already as illegal as heck, so why care about that stuff? :x

Just make sure you have 9 cards in the deck... 1 forest 1 swamp 1 mountain 1 jhiora 1 joiner 1 death wish 1 hexmage 2 dark ritual and 1 random other card, you choose. You're not using it anyway. Black lotus would be fun thom then you win even earlier if the bottom card of the deck is a ritual :P

t1: play 1 swamp, ritual, death wish
t2: play 1forest, ritual, joiner, hexmage
t3: play 1 mountain, jhiora
t4: suspend pikachu, sac hexmage and own.

sorry, mistake: its 10 cards in the deck, and you need to start first.
