'I don't want to talk about it.'

Emrakul as a stand-in for the yet-to-be-found Gitaxian Probe replacement

This is still experimental and highly unstable - soon, though!

So, the basics: Beck / Call is the absolute center of the deck. You need it to go off. Lotus Cobra is also essential, but it can come down later in the combo - you need it for when you use Aether Vial to put Dryad Arbor onto the field! So what do you do?

Well, the turn should start with Beck. Try not to go off until turn four, if you can, because you will need the extra mana later. You should then cast any Ornithopters or Memnites to cantrip, and bounce them to Faerie Impostor for no lost value - and free storm count! If you can generate the mana, cast any number of Lotus Cobras you can, leaving up mana to be able to Vial in the Arbor, if you can. Having two or more Cobras is ideal. Then begin chaining creatures and other nonsense, and eventually you Grapeshot them for lethal!

What happens if you fizzle? Cycle Street Wraith or cast a Gitaxian Probe, Retract, or Shared Discovery to refill your hand and keep going! Never give up! Your life total is largely irrelevant, so use it!

If you would like to make suggestions, please be very sure that they will be an improvement - this deck is very, very weird, so playtest it a few times to see if you can make it work before providing input. Even I, the shenanigans deck connoisseur, am having difficulty thinking of stuff to upgrade, and I have a pretty big radar!


So this is something of the, ah, pinnacle of my insanity - being my absolute weirdest brew yet, and being kinda viable as a combo! I look forward to seeing it evolve, and if you like janky nonsense, I hope you do, too!
