This is my chaos deck which I've spent a little while making. It isn't quite like normal Zedruu the Greathearted decks in that I don't have a lot of things to give to other people, and it doesn't matter at all if I never really end up giving somebody something hurtful. The goal in this deck is to be as unhelpful as possible and to make the game super confusing. If you don't care why I put the stuff I did in here, and you aren't in the mood for my witty humor, scroll straight to the bottom and read about how much I would love your help and advice. Otherwise , here is a breakdown of my deck:
Artifacts
Godsend- One of my personal favorite cards in EDH. It effectively stops their commander (and other creatures as well) from attacking. this is lifesaving because my brother plays
Iroas, God of Victory
as his commander.
Knowledge Pool- Super shenanigans
Strionic Resonator
- Copy ANY trigger. Ridiculously good. Copy
Eye of the Storm
's ability, or even Zedruu the Greathearted's upkeep trigger. Yum.
Teferi's Puzzle Box- Creates confusion and laughs
Torpor Orb
- Shuts people down, makes them angry.
Creatures
Akroan Horse
- I give it to you with even needing Zedruu!
Bazaar Trader
- Gives things away without having to use three mana.
Djinn of Wishes- A flyer with a functional ability. Especially when paired with Brainstorm.
Godhead of Awe
- Really fun, helps me not take damage.
Oracle of Bones
- tributed or mean
Perplexing Chimera- Gives Away for Free!
Steel Golem
- No creatures for you!
Enchantments
Bedlam- Yup. No blockers. Screws people.
Aggressive Mining
- Extremely fun to give away. Locks down an opponent.
Archmage Ascension
- So good! Incredibly easy to trigger, tutors for days.
Cast Through Time
- Fun stuff
Confusion in the Ranks
, Possibility Storm, Wild Evocation,
Eye of the Storm
- Chaos and so much fun. These cards pretty much make this deck worth playing and playing against.
Conjured Currency
, Puca's Mischief- Exchange control of some stuff, make Zedruu's upkeep trigger even stronger, and cause confusion at the same time.
Corrupted Conscience
- Included this card on a whim, now I'm glad I did. This card saves lives.
Nevermore- Removal and can be given away.
Arcane Melee
- More fun for less!!
Hive Mind
- When paired with any Sorcery in my deck makes for shenanigans.
Grip of Chaos
- Has Chaos right in the name!!! Also it's bundles of fun.
Humility- Wreck your commander. Gotta love that 1/1, no infect, or flying
Skithiryx, the Blight Dragon
Mana Maze- You may play your commander but nothing else this turn.
Mindmoil- Looks fun for your opponents.
Chaosphere
- Again, Chaos in the name.
Shared Fate
- I don't even know with this card. At the very least someone ends up drawing into lots of chaos cards they don't want.
Elkin Lair
- Cause I don't like it when people hold cards in their hand. Makes me nervous. I prefer when they have a one-turn clock.
Dual Casting
- Copies of all my fun stuff.
Forced Fruition
- Starts to hurt your opponents A LOT after a while.
Illusions of Grandeur
- Fun to give your opponents. Gets annoying.
Omniscience- Play my whole hand. Who needs mana?
Island Sanctuary- I like the pegasus :)
Instants
Desertion- Imma Steal yo stuff.
Radiate
- Targets are too exclusive. I prefer to include everything.
I've decided that you don't really need instants. They aren't quite as fun.
Sorcery
Catch / Release
- Gets rid of both cards I don't want, and cards I would rather my opponents not have.
Enter the Infinite- for when you don't wanna draw to find the cards you need.
Dimensional Breach
- "NO!!!! My tokens!!! They all went away!!!! WHYYYYYY!" Or maybe "Dammit. It's gonna take a while to get all that back" Either way, those are usually the opponents' words. Not mine.
Epic Experiment- Why cast just one spell?
Hallowed Burial- I hate creatures.
Scrambleverse- Shenanigans. I can barely express how much fun this is.
Spelltwine
- For when once wasn't enough.
Thieves' Auction
- Loads of fun! Remember to take their lands before yours.
Cultural Exhange- Yay! Zerduu!! Switch 'em up!
Falling Star
- Illegal in EDH. Don't put this card in your deck.
Fiery Gambit
- Tails never fails!
Mind's Desire- Seems like a party.
Time Reversal- You can't just go to the grocery store and get a new hand! You need to come to me.
Reversal of Fortune
- Sometimes you need to cast spells that actually help with something.
Reverse the Sands- Whoa! Did someone just swing with a 10/10 lifelink!! Oops, just switched lives. Never mind.
Donate- For when you feel a little more Greathearted than even Zedruu
Paradigm Shift
- Sorry about that. Maybe you shouldn't kill all my stuff next time.
Warp World
- Pseudo boardwipe. Also Chaos staple.
Worldpurge
- Actual boardwipe. so ridiculously broken.
Planeswalkers
Planeswalkers are mean. It's no fair to summon up a friend to help you. And all they do is kill themselves trying to cast their ultimate anyway! I mean, what kinda friend does that!! "Yeah I'll help you out, here let me just explode. And you're helped, right?" If your planeswalkers think like that, they need your help, you don't need theirs.
So this is my deck. I hope you enjoy it as much as I enjoyed making it. Help on how to make this deck better (more chaos-y), would be greatly appreciated.
P.S. I really love cats and I'm super sad there are no chaos cats. Or Chaos turtles. Luckily I found the Chaos Pegasus which almost makes up for it. If you feel like the wizards should make a Chaos Cat, leave a +1 and a suggestion.
