Rabid_Wombat I've been considering Festival but it would shorten the games a lot and EDH games should last for hours. But thanks for suggestion!

Wow. There is a lot of insanity here, love it. I'm afraid I probably won't have much to add to this... But here it goes.

Jhoira of the Ghitu- great chaos card and allows for some extremely crazy turns if you set up right. You could have your biggest and craziest spells all come out in the same turn lol.

Dualcaster Mage, Kess, Dissident Mage- recast some of the crazy.

Ral Zarek- The only planeswalker that seems very chaosy.

Indomitable Creativity, Mind's Dilation, Enter the Infinite, Hive Mind, Omniscience- big dumb silly things that could work here.

Swarm Intelligence- cause why not?

Clone Legion- you don't have many creatures but maybe your opponents do?

Thanks DrukenReaps for upvote and comment!

I've been speaking about Jhoira in earlier comments (see archive). Mage and Maginess?? won't fit into deck since I want to keep it low with creatures and letting in only my pet cards. Ral Zarek would be nice include with Krark's Thumb, but as mentioned before, deck is low on creatures which means Planeswalkers will get stomped.

In terms of spells, Indomitable Creativity might actually find place in this deck. Mind's Dilation is in testing phase, it works really nice with Vial Smasher, however it has high CMC, gonna see after more testing.

EtI and Omniscience are both cards I dislike in , not to mention Omniscience being too expensive for me atm.

Hive Mind was in first version of this deck, but got replaced with Curse of Echoes that also was later replaced. It is crazy, but it too often ends bad for me. Swarm Intelligence was considered, but can't find anything worth excluding to put it in.

I just prefer Insurrection over Clone Legion, first one can kill, while the latter only targets one player.

How the hell did you make this look so cool please tell me

This neat deck sadly takes forever to get started, you might want to add in more mana acceleration. I play tested it a bunch but the deck didn't do much of anything for the first 8 turns or so. Don't get me wrong, dynamo and signets are good, but in such a high cmc deck you need more ways to ramp up into your spells.

Overall I really like where this is going, +1......

try my mans norin, he is very wary and chaotic

griffstick I've made my own .css file and loaded it from dropbox, it requires some knowledge of HTML and ability to read page source and overwriting it using said .css file. Probably some day I'll make tutorial to at least some part of this.

Jebanator Thats actually strange that it took ~8 turns to start going on. Since I changed to Partners combo, deck started to be faster and more consistent with "doing anything". From my experience with it so far (15-20 games in this setup), it gets started at most at turn 5, dropping some nasty enchantments. Mana curve also shows that it isnt that bad (I'm actually surprised how good it looks). Also remeber that this is still casual deck (but hey, it really disturbes tier 1.5 decks) and there is no need to be faster than that I guess.

Nice theme

+1 fo titties and for mad computer skillz (graphics)

For sheer shenanigans might I suggest Gwendlyn Di Corci. You could make an awesome version to match you commander :) do you take commissions? If so please PM me!

Razia_of_Boros

Gwendlyn Di Corci is not interesting enough to be added. I want it to stay low at creatures.

In terms of making alters, as pointed at them, I'm not the artists behind those art, I'm only editing them.

If you have some cards, I may find some free time and make such alter. PM me whenever You like :)

Absolutely fantastic, I might try to make something like this. +1 from me!

Rabid_Wombat says... #17

Ziembski are there any wincons apart from Vial Smasher's ability?

Does it win as often as your Arjun Chaos list?

Thanks :)

Ziembski says... #18

Rabid_Wombat of course there are other.

Hitting Eternal Dominion and Decree of Annihilation is probably win since You are picking value of opponents libraries while everyone else have nothing.

Soul Conduit + Treasonous Ogre mean You can pay almost your whole life and switch it with someone elses.

Scrambleverse/Thieves' Auction + Brand often makes everyone else scoop.

Warp World + Gather Specimens is also crazy good and often end games.

Other simple cards that win games late are Insurrection and Disrupt Decorum.

This deck doesn't really aim straight to win, more just to make fun games. You can also win with long painful games making everyone into topdeck mode while killing everyone slowly with Creeping Dread and Gibbering Descent.

Once, I "won" using Head Games and Worst Fears at opponent. Gave him all combo pieces to hand and won while controlling him. At least it felt like winning :D

any update of this deck?

June 10, 2018 2:14 a.m.

Rabid_Wombat says... #20

hoyanader I've added the following cards from Battlebond to my version of the deck: Last One Standing, Bonus Round and Game Plan - they all work extremely well.

June 22, 2018 2:17 a.m.

Ziembski says... #21

Pretty much what guy above said. I would skip the Bonus Round but other two are great cards.

July 4, 2018 6:25 p.m.

Rabid_Wombat says... #22

Nah man....with respect Bonus Round is totally Insane in this deck.

Cast Bonus Round followed by a Mana Geyser (x2) then Epic Experiment (x2) - GG.

Pulled this combo off last week and the entire table scooped with one guy saying :"That was impossibly cool!"

Hey Rabid_Wombat.

Maybe "Naked Singularity" would be a good chaos choice... that would be crazy!!!

July 14, 2018 10:45 a.m.

Rabid_Wombat says... #24

Yo hoyanader.

Naked Singularity is awesome but sadly that upkeep is just too much to maintain.

I've added Stolen Strategy to my Chaos deck and it's crazy fun...stole an Ulamog with it for the win :D

July 14, 2018 8:23 p.m.

hoyanader says... #25
