A few days ago I had an idea to build a commander deck based around the 12 labours of Heracles, I don't get to play as much as I'd like and I find putting together random decks satisfies my craving enough, and it's just fun to see an idea through to the end!

Anyway, I would love some card suggestions that fit this theme, either with card type/name or card art! Or if anyone can share any tools to search for cards by the art? I have a small list of creatures to include that line up to the labours but I'm at a loss for other spells.

I'm not that practised with building decks from an 'abstract' theme so I'd appreciate any pointers!

My current list:

[[Fleecemane Lion]]

[[Brimaz, King of Oreskos]]

[[Mistcutter Hydra]]

[[Spitting Hydra]]

[[Protean Hydra]]

[[Golden Hind]]

[[Burnished Hart]]

[[Nessian Boar]]

[[Silver Raven]]

[[Anvilwrought Raptor]]

[[Bow of Nylea]]

[[Warden of the Chained]]

[[Lightning Mare]]

[[Two-Headed Giant]]

[[Karametra's Acolyte]]

[[Underworld Cerberus]]

I'm not particularly new to Hellenism but have not been actively practicing for a few years recently for a few different reasons, but that's not particularly important at the moment.

Earlier today I thought to myself about adding some symbols of Hermes to my bike for some extra protection on longer journeys and while commuting to work. I hadn't yet searched for anything online (I like to see what I can make/use from things I already own when I can) but when I opened Pinterest I was greeted straight away by the painting The Souls of Acheron.

Admittedly my pinterest is usually full of classical painting and art so it could just be a coincidence but it feels like it could be more.

I think I have prayed to nearly all of the Gods at one point or another but I've never had an interaction with Hermes like this before, is it safe to assume that He has noticed me thinking about him?
