This is my take on bringing Madness into EDH.

Although I never played during the era, the Standard UG Madness deck with Wild Mongrel always sounded like such a cool deck to me. I wanted to try and make Madness work in EDH that would play similarly to that tempo standard deck. Unfortunately, the new Innistrad block didn't add much to the deck. I created this deck about a year before the new Innistrad, and it was a very disappointing block for this deck; I only have a few additions (although they're pretty sweet).

The first step was figuring out which colors this deck would run. Based on the Madness cards I found through gatherer, I went with BUG colors rather than RUG. Sidisi was only supposed to be a stand-in commander until I got my hands on a Damia, but she actually fits the deck perfectly and is central to get the deck going.

I try to play this deck as a tempo deck, or as much of a tempo deck that I can manage in EDH. The amount of synergy in this deck is INSANE, the cards work so well together, often times better than how I expected them to behave.

Some of my favorite things in this deck include: swinging with Sidisi and Kessig Cage Breaker, milling a Wonder or Brawn in the process, sacrificing a huge Psychatog to Jarad, making my own Prophet of Kruphix with Seedborn Muse and Vedalken Orrery, Spider Spawning, Edric, stealing a creature mid-combat with Welcome to the Fold. This deck is awesome to play!

Azami/Mind Over Matter/Lab Maniac combo is in here for super long games that won't end. Mind Over Matter is just an amazing discard outlet, and there is a decent amount of wizards in the deck for Azami anyway, so I made room for her and the Maniac.
