Now that eggs is banned. I wanted to reveal a deck concept I want to build called "math is fun!"
It's a deck that uses {clock of omens} and I want the victory condition to be {enter the infinite}. Possibly even go infinite with it (with the help of {Elixer of imortality})
You all can go ahead and take this idea and make your own variations. Though I'd like some feedback and ideas please
Format?
Modern. Or budget legacy. But I'm leaning towards modern
Just so everyone knows, this isn't supposed to be a copy of eggs. It will be something completely original

So can I make my version?
Sure. But the concept is the deck uses lots and lots of math through the games

Math 😱
It doesn't have to be complicated math. It could be simple math too. Or Math-y cards

have tons of 0 cost artifacts that give you mana to ramp into {Clock of Omens} and then {Gilded Lotus} sense most of the artifacts in you deck have a cmc of 0 you should have plenty by now so you can use clock to untap lotus several times giving you the mana to cast {Enter the Infinite} cast the rest of your 0 cost artifacts and then {Grapeshot}! How does that sound?
What about {mesmeric orb}?

As a win con?
possibly. With all those 0 cost artifacts, you have lots of stuff to tap to untap stuff
But wouldn't that mill me?

You could use {Laboratory Maniac}

I suppose so but {Grapeshot} would probrobly be more efficient.
Eggs is dead, not banned. {Second Sunrise} is banned.
How could grapeshot help?

seems like a wonderful idea, not too expensive either.... this could help someone get in to modern as a gateway, but i wonder about problems getting your deck to be there. on the flip side though it wouldnt even need land neccesarily
If you want you can make your own version of the deck

Yes it would :( but not too much!
Just use the mirrodon block artifact lands.
Artifact lands are banned in modern
Dark steel citadel should still be legal.
Could run 4 {mox opal} with citadels, any free artifacts, and any with affinity for artifact like {frogmite}. Are there any 0drop mana producers?

{Chrome Mox} {Jeweled Amulet} {Mox Diamond} {Seat of the Synod}
None of which are
Modern
And then {Creeping Corrosion} 😄

is there stuff that does stuff when artifacts die?
You could easily build a green black deck around this some cards are.
{Disciple of the Vault}
{Moriok Rigger}
{Fangren Marauder}
And {Molder Beast}
No lie, I kinda feel like we are toying with banhammer here, "I wonder what we can get banned next,guys!!" :)

thats kinda the point. As a peaceful protest against the banning of eggs to show them how ridiculous it is. And it shouldn't just be black. I need more ideas for my own version of "math is fun"
I think I'm going {G}{U} with my version
I'm thinking full colorless, really mess with everyone! Tron lands, fattie artifacts that nobody likes, ad then a couple crucial winmore cards to focus on?

Imagine...the...100,000,000,000 of..tokens...
I posted my version in legacy. It's unfinished however, because I didn't want just this to set he idea for the archetype. It is somewhat similar though. Just in different colors. It's in USA

thank you. I was hoping for many versions of the idea and this along with what I posted in legacy provides a little diversity. Anyway, lets try to make every version broken
Sure I still am working out the best numbers for consistency.

you can take a look at my math is fun for inspiration if you want. It's in legacy, though it only has a couple of legacy cards
I saw it and it looked like a lot of fun.
