As requested, the first build of a chaos inspired deck. Still need some cuts, thinking to reduce the wipe effects a bit. But anyone else have some ideas?

EDIT: things like {ball lightning} or that return to hand at eot would be nice too, to abuse with {confusion in the ranks}. Maybe even meaner than wipes? Take their creatures instead of destroying land base and creatures?

{Shrieking Drake}. Keep bouncing itself, for 1 mana

If it enters, you stack the bounce trigger, then the exchange trigger. That's great!

Found a lot of goodies that sac themselves at eot, plain burn when confusion is not in play, theft if it is.

Got rid of the land hate and most wrath effects. Decided I don't really wanna be "that" guy and keep the fun in it.

If you want to be, lots of basic land type destruction cards in these colors. Don't run lands with basic land types, so no worries. Until {blood moon} of course. But plenty of red stuff to go berserk with then :p

Spotted the combo {braids, conjurer adept} + {vanishing}. In play testing yesterday (pitted NB discard vs this one), I noticed mana is an issue, as there is no ramp. This gives ramp or creature advantage as needed.

You have literally no basics

Indeed. I do have a pretty high percentage of lands though, so likely to have some left over in hand.
Could be that some basics + tutors could speed it up, but the land base is still based on the idea to mass kill basics with {flashfire} and co, while not having any basic land types(almost) myself.

But you get blown out by back to basics and blood moon. PTE is 1 mana get rid of any of your dudes. You should run one of each basic in your deck

That's true, indeed. When one-on-one {forbidden orchard} has an unwanted synergy with {confusion in the ranks} anyway, so that's one I'd drop. What would be the other two?
Peaks and Grove?

Bump for {{Deebiia}}.

Mine is pretty similar, but mono {R}. Also has a lot more cards like, {Thieves' Auction}, {Chaosphere}, and the card that must be cast if drawn {Final Fortune}. I do like a lot of the interactions here though. So many nasty, nasty things to have fun with. Plus people get to actually play instead of dreading when the {Warp World} resolves if they should just concede.

I don't know why I missed {thieves' auction}. That's a wonderful chaotic thing to do. To troll I think I'd start with the {confusion in the ranks}.
Pulling {firecat blitz}, since that will too often be either cascaded into, or {possibility storm} makes it a dead spell.

EDIT: and yeah, I do think this is the only deck I've got with warp in it that doesn't do it to abuse (Allies & Valakut EDH's)

Yeah. It's typically a game ending card since at that point it makes it so insane to continue.

I like to think of it more as a mini-game. As a variant to classic mtg. As said by Taysby, by that time your not playing mtg anymore. True, but it still can be fun.
With auction you're playing like a mini-draft.
