>Thread Question
What's the craziest deck you've ever built; the one that has fewer staples and more batshit never-used-elsewhere choices? How did it go?

I avoid playing colorless staples like sadbot and instead play fun cards. Sometimes that added consistancy is missed but other times it causes hilarious explosive wins. When you remove staples you flex your deck building muscles and start finding new engines that can fuel your decks.

>Thread Question
Fuck, I dunno. I built Shu Yun cantrip tribal once, that was a fun time.

I've been thinking about building Locust God, since I've never tried tokens or Izzet before.
From what I can tell (after a some reading) Wheels, Anthems, Mana Rocks/Acceleration and (maybe) Counterspells to keep Locust God/Tokens on the field seems to be good themes.
Anyone Have any advice, tips, secret tech?

How do you make group hug and win? Enlighten me please.

I made an Izzet Chaos deck with Nin on the helm.

Its hidden strategy was to put things to the board for free, so I can steal them with red/blue take control spells

From what i understand you just try and avoid hate while drawing into a combo or assembling pieces to go off. Your real goal should be to get more resources than you give out but imo it is not a very good strategy. If you like it then just go look at some primers but i think there are better things you can do.

I'm currently building ETB tech with, as you said, tons of wheels and some counterspells. Going Impact Tremors and Purphoros for kills. Got Lab Man in there as well for stupid wins. Mana Echoes is fucking retarded once you have a few insects lying around. I'm also going for Howling Mine style effects as well as Alhammaret's Archive and Consecrated Sphinx. Skullclamp is there for more drawan.

>What's the craziest deck you've ever built; the one that has fewer staples and more batshit never-used-elsewhere choices?
Progenitus 5 color tribal (i.e. the tribe is 5 color cards).

>How did it go?
It's... mediocre, honestly. Lots of bad cards that don't do anything, lots of mana issues, etc. It's fun alright, but I wouldn't call it good. It is also brand new and has only played two games so far, both of which it did alright in before losing to some bullshit (and nearly won one game, despite being Archenemy for like 6 turns), so it's not beyond hope.

I tried that card in my Rakdos, Lord of Riots deck, things get rather out of hand with both on the field.
