Silly EDH Magic

[zephoid]

I have been planning a deck to run in EDH that is supposed to be as silly as possible
www.mtgvault.com/ViewDeck.aspx?DeckID=283530

Maelstrom Angel is my general

The point is not necessarily to win, but to make combinations that should NEVER normally happen. i want cards that have wonky effects that dont necessarily improve my own board position. Im pretty much trying to guarantee my survival by saying "if you do that, the board goes crazy". The deck has a possibility of winning, but thats not the point of it.

I need suggestions on strange cards that never see play. Im trying to minimize cost. about half the cards, most of the expensive ones, are in my collection. Less played, the better.

How about making a Unhinged/Unglued EDH deck?

Ambition's cost is a card I know isnt used very often (or at least I think it isnt used) drawing cards in EDH is fun, and this would probably in most decks be replaced with concentrate or harmonize, but works wonderfully greatly and only costs 1 black (for a 5 color deck its hard to go heavier)

I'll put more suggestions as I remember them when i have time.

Loplod: Helpful and totally useful especially with its relevance to the thread. i wish i had thought of that.

Unless those sets are disallowed by your group/the format, definitely go with this. My most fun games of MTG ever involve these.

[zephoid]

unglued and unhinged are funny because of the cards. this deck is funny because of the interactions it makes. look at the cards in the list. i have no targeted destruction. i have very little target at all. Everything is board wide. Ambitions cost really doesnt work with the deck theme. when i make people draw cards, i make everyone do it.

Recently discovered Tide of War. Scare people with THAT!

Also Scrambleverse. Gotta love absolute chaos.

[Braddon]

Ahhh, I love this playing style. You're not set to win, you just want to keep them from winning. The only reason I ever play multiplayer. :]

... okay... I feel really left out

WHAT THE HELL IS THIS!!!

[zephoid]

i like scrambleverse, but i think thieves auction is better and cheaper to play also works for lands. Tides of war works, but this deck pretty pretty much removes all creatures so many times it might not see much play. Ill build the deck, play test it a few times, then see if creatures live. Its definitely a possibility.

[Koyori]

Well.. how about using the "season special" cards? like: Fruitcake Elemental, Seasonal Beatings, and so on?

[yoritomo]

Sure, if you can get your hands on one of them. The only one I've ever seen in person was evil presents.

You know, in addition to all the funny stuff you plan on playing I'd put in some can't lose the game cards. Platinum Angel and Platinum Emperion come to mind. I say this because A) Nobody ever plays them, and B) It gives you an out while you're screwing with everyone at the table.

EDH

Eldar dragon highlander. Also known as commander. 100 minimum card deck with no repeats of cards other than non-basic land, and your deck has to be lead by a commander, a legendary creature. The rest of your deck has to coincide with your commanders color identity.

There are a lot of other rules on the wizards main website.

Not too bad with that commander, huh?
