"OK, discard your hand, then lose half your life. Now lose 9 life because you have no hand."

This is a deck that I like playing casually with friends, because it can be very evil but funny at the same time. The whole idea is stalling until Havoc Festival and Sire Of Insanity comes out.

It's not meant to be fast, but if anyone can make recommendations on how to make it faster, let me know in the comments.

OK so here's the rundown:

Early game, defenders would be put out to protect against creatures swinging, so Hover Barrier and Wall of Frost are there to defend. Shrieking Affliction can be put out early, but it's best to wait until late game when the opponent has thinned out the deck (so it doesn't get destroyed).

I tried to base the deck around having life and card advantage before the bombs come out, so I included counters to prevent my stuff from dying, Elixir of Immortality to give me some life and get back some stuff that I may have lost, and Tablet of the Guilds for lifegain.

Once turn 6 comes around, let's hope that there's a Sire Of Insanity or Havoc Festival in hand. Preferably, I like playing Havoc first, then Sire. But the order is less important if Bane Alley Broker is on the field, because you can have your own little "exile hand", where everything just costs 2 extra mana.

I would like this deck to be more competitive, so if there are any suggestions, I'm all ears.
