Episode 2: Revenge of the Random Maelstrom

"Life cannot be calculated. That's the big mistake our civilization made. We never accepted that randomness is not a mistake in the equation -- it is part of the equation."

- Jeanette Winterson in “The Stone Gods”

Do you like free stuff ? Do you like getting gifts, not knowing what's inside ? Do you like surprise ? Do you like the thrill that invades you when gambling ? This deck is all about the randomness and the excitement that comes with it in Magic. The goal is for all the nonland cards to come with random effects attached (i.e. cascade, flip-a-coin, reveal the top card, etc.). You'll never know how things will work out and if you're gonna end up ahead by a small or a large margin.
Note: Unlike some other random decks though, I try to ensure nothing goes against you, so I avoid effects like Mogg Assassin or Desperate Gambit .

Keep in mind that this is a gimmicky, casual, multiplayer deck. The curve is high and the chances of winning are low, but it's always a blast to play. I started this deck in 2011 with Ruhan of the Fomori at the helm (followed by Maelstrom Wanderer and now Vial Smasher / Thrasios) so I tried a lot of different things but feel free to suggest cards! The mana base is pretty budget as I need my better lands for my other, more serious decks :)
Note: I'm not too interested in chaos cards (such as Warp World , Scrambleverse , Eye of the Storm and the likes) as I want this deck to not be unfun to play against.

Just FYI, there is a combo that is absolutely on theme with this deck: Chance Encounter + Frenetic Efreet . You can activate the Efreet's ability in response to itself as many times as you want (let's say a billion, just to be sure). If you win at least 10 of those flips, you'll have enough counters on Chance Encounter to win at your next upkeep. It's a cool combo but, even after having won once with it, I ultimately decided to cut it since both cards don't do much when they're not combined. :(
