Ok so I might proxy these up. Then it will be some testing to maek sure they are on somewhat even footing in 1 v 1 matchups.

I am already thinking the weakest is white, but with that much flying, it will be an issue anyway.

So, what is the best UK based store for obscure singles?

I use Troll Trader cards and Magic Madhouse... TT tends to be cheaper but MM tends to have far better stock levels.
In the style of Tom Hale... F*ck Ushabti!!!

Of you have the time, go for auction based cards on Ebay, much cheaper than buying direct

JJ

Odds of finding old coomons are slim though

If I were to build these in cockatrice - would people be keen to playtest for me? Can tune it much faster if it is more than just me playing!

Guillaume

I'll playtest cockatrice, I think having coat of arms in every deck doesn't fit the theme of individual duel decks, also every duel deck released by Wotc is based around a cheap legendary creature or cheap planeswalker (I'm not suggesting stupid things like krenko or clique).
(As in maybe Ib halfheart for the red deck perhaps) also if I may venture some changes, I'm not sure volcanic fallout is the best card for a goblin deck and the white deck seems very week. I was thinking more like rebels for white (with a one of Lin siivi to make it actually good but not ridiculous)  (also squadron hawks is broken in the most casual sense of the word) I'll comment more when I'm off my phone and can actually see what I'm doing

Yeah already saw the CoA faux pas.

I think I can probably afford to put in a whispersilk cloak to each deck though it is a major game enger...

White does seem weak, but with swords and DoJ it can sweep well - it's search abilities help it along well to recover from them. The other option of cats is a good one - rebels seem too strong as they all search far too well and the card advantage form that is huge. I have a pauper legacy b/w rebel deck... that is just horrible to play against. It just spams dudes at the end of the opponents turn then you kill them...   

Guillaume

i suppose ur right about rebels, but i still think there should be a centerpiece card for each deck

Guillaume

also coa is way more powerful in the squirrel and white deck than in the others (because of token spam and squadron hawks/ranger) and whispersill cloak seems a bit redundant in these decks as there isnt really anything big enough to make use of it.
