If you've never seen Norin the Wary, don't worry! He likes it that way!

This is a commander deck I built to bring hilarity to the tables, and the goal was for it to be fun both to pilot AND to play against. While it does have strong mono-red artifact synergy and can occasionally put the hurtin' on a table, the primary win-cons come in some unique ways. Basically, after amassing tons of goblin, thopter, goat, kobold, wurm, and myr tokens (thanks Genesis Chamber!), you want to cast Warp World. If your opponents don't immediately scoop upon the cast, by the time it resolves, they probably will wish they had! It is worth noting here that all of your tokens will get "shuffled" into your deck and will count towards your total cards drawn and put onto the battlefield. Other fun plays include floating all of your mana, casting Thieves' Auction and choosing only your opponents permanents. Follow this up by playing Brand, and watch people cry and dry heave from disgust. If you want your opponents to feel real anguish, drop Confusion in the Ranks and wait for them to realize that every time Norin comes back in, you'll switch it with their best creature. Tough luck with a soft lock.

And of course, the pet card for this deck is... Goblin Game! If you think this is a huge waste of mana and wont ever win you the game - you might be right! I will, however, encourage you to look up the strategies behind playing a goblin game, as there are several papers and analyses regarding the spell. Hot tidbit - Richard Garfield has a PhD in Mathematics. Huh.

While I'm not wildly interested in optimizing this deck as it is intended to introduce some calamity into games, I am still open to suggestions and cuts to make it more fun while still retaining its ability to win somewhat regularly.
