...though more often it's something like...
Oh well! Still fun.
As you can probably tell, the point of the deck is to get 4 mana, cast Unexpected Results, and loudly announce, "No-one expects...!" and finish with the name of whatever you flip over. Sometimes it's an Ulamog, the Infinite Gyre. Sometimes it's a forest. Sometimes it's a Phage the Untouchable.
To help with this, first, there's a significant count of mana dorks and defenders. Quick ramp into the dream of a turn-3 Unexpected Results (I haven't worked out a reliable and repeatable way to cast it turn 2.), flip over Worldfire, then die to your opponent's aggro.
My sideboard probably looks very odd if you didn't see Research/Development in the main. Until you can cast Unexpected Results, casting Research will help improve the odds of a good hit; just pull in whatever 4 bombs you think will help most. Development is there to buy time or draw cards, whichever your opponent wants you doing at the time.
I would strongly caution against playing multiple of the same bomb! Doing so is no fun and you are a party pooper for trying. This is a gimmick deck. If you're trying to win with it, you're doing it wrong.
N.B.: This is the version with all the really good bombs removed, because I'm cheap and can't convince myself to spend like 10tix to dramatically improve some of the hits. It also compromises the mana base for precisely the same reason.
To turn this into an ideal version of the deck shouldn't be hard:
- Add fetches and shocks, replacing the Temples and basics.
- Remove the bad bombs: Phage, Woodfall Primus, Worst Fears, The Great Aurora, etc.
- Put in good bombs: Griselbrand, Avacyn, Angel of Hope, Omniscience, Enter the Infinite, etc. (Basically, pick your favorite cards you could never realistically cast.)
- Maybe replace Birds of Paradise (or Orochi Leafcaller?) with Traproot Kami or Wall of Vines.
- Change everything else and go play an actual deck.
On a more serious side-note: I would be delighted if someone with a head for these blasted 60-card constructed formats (I'm an EDH player, if the deck didn't make that obvious!) would suggest a rebuild of this deck, or at least the major changes I should make to make it slightly more serious. I don't expect it to ever be good, but I know it can be a lot better without losing the core idea of Unexpected Results into bomb.
