Let me tell you something: I love tribal or theme decks. Especially the more exotic ones like wall tribal.

But sometimes that is not enough and i have to go a step further:
Welcome to "Wall of text tribal"!

The cards have been selected primarily by the length of their oracle text and not by playability. We have old cards that stem from a time where magic's rules system was a lot less defined and recieved heavy errata to restore their functionality. (Shoutout to old reanimation!) There are flavour cards with weird little special cases that end up adding an extra three lines. Or classics like Fireball which make you solve a math problem before you are allowed to use them. And of course we also have some good old Keyword spam with red Akroma :)

I play this on mtgo (usually when i want to add some unexpected elements to a friendly game), so i got all the oracle text on hand and i still manage to skip that one line near the bottom and and make phenomenal misplays. So if you want to play this pile in paper magic, get yourself an app with all the oracle and maybe one or two judges just to be safe :P

Some cards that deserve special mention:

• Ertai's Meddling for its funky interaction with morph (look it up :P) and being severly bugged on mtgo (honestly don't blame them on this one)
• Karplusan Minotaur for being hilarious in multiples and actually effective when used politically
• Perplexing Chimera for being the spawn of a madman inside of R&D
• Takklemaggot for doing very little with very many lines of text
• Dread Wight for triggering every end of combat step
• Maddening Imp for teaching people to use their second main phase
• Rageform for being reminiscent old of reanimation auras that weren't actually auras
• Kaboom! for having an exclamation mark!
• Armageddon Clock for actually winning me a game once
