Drat, Double Drat & Triple Drat!

Muttley, do something!

Magic's double-dealing do-badders

Enter the dastardly duo of Dick and his sidekick Muttley. They offer good utility in card draw and politics. A big plus is that the deck doesn't rely on it's Commanders to work.

Main goal of this political group hug deck is to play wacky cards like Prisoner's Dilemma Goblin Game, etc. making sure no two games are alike and that everyone has a good time. Opponents get conditional benefits like Bladegriff Prototype, Frontier Warmonger, etc. We also aim to boost the player who's most behind with Victory Chimes, Red Death, Shipwrecker styled effects. Next to the general hug cards like Howling Mine & Dictate of Kruphix.

Amidst all the mischief we can to come out on top with cards like Insurrection and political maneuvering (Goad, Monarch, etc). While keeping it fun and interactive.

While reading some MTG articles I found out this type of deck is qualified as an "Adrenaline Timmy deck":

"This final subgroup embraces the joy of variance in the game. They enjoy playing cards and decks that don't have a predictable outcome. To them, the fun of the game is to see all the different kinds of things that could happen. This is the group, for example, that loves things like coin flip cards and cards that work differently each time you play them. For Timmy, the entire reason to play is having a good time

Adrenalin Gamer Timmy likes flying by the seat of his pants. He enjoys the rush of adapting to the unpredictable. As a result, Adrenalin Gamer Timmy is drawn to decks and formats that allow every game to be as different from the last as possible."
