{Descent into Madness}
Is it just me or is this card almost completely worthless? I have pulled 3 so far and honestly can't think of a situation where I might want to use it.
It is like {stasis} + a board wipe might be fun for edh just to screw with people
Hey if you're not going to use them I'll take em off your hands
I think when wizards makes a 50 cent MYTHIC RARE, they fail just as much as when they make a mythic rare that gets banned.

I had a {Stasis} deck back in the day. I hated it. And this was before they beat {Winter Orb} to death with the Neft bat.
I've always seen Descent as a troll mythic.

I might consider it. I am going to try to see what I can do but I honestly think it is about as horrible as they come.
You could put it in your {helvault} deck. Another great mythic

Actually I can see that being played with Urzatron/Loci where mana isn't really a problem. Though I grant it is a niche at best.
Or at a token deck, it plays nicely, u sacrifice tokens, until your opponent is weak enough for you to sacrifice the madness. It has to have a whole deck built into it, though, so...

Well at least the art is cool.

I pulled 3 out of 2 Fatpacks...so yeah.
{Mist Hollow Griffin} maybe? The only thing i can think of
{smallpox} + descent isnt a bAd deck its just meant to slow them down and control them until you has your combo to win. {havengul lich} + {heartless summoning} + {priest of urabosk} = lots of red mana.. Then {devils play} or {fireball} or {bonfire of the damned} them for 5000 XD

Lol this^
{Barren Glory} for black-border landers. :P
Good idea! But which would occur first? The barren or the madness? Could you choose the order?
you would have to wait an entire turn after descent into madness cleaned up everything else. also you would have to have a perfect number of permanents.
You'd have to time it juuuuust right because of the steadily increasing sacrificing
Ya but what happens first? Bc you have to exile and check for the win at the same time?

You put them on the stack in the order of your choosing. Probably Barren on the bottom, but hey, I'm not going to play your deck for you. :P

Haha of course the bottom but I wasn't sure if you were able to choose the order or there was a certain priority assigned to one of them based on the conditions.

jester i don't think barren glory will even trigger unless you have the 0 other permanents.
and to complicate matters you have to get rid of the card you drew the turn you exiled descent into madness
That is very true! Bc you'd need enough counters to exile your lands, exile all enchantments other than barren. I don't you'd get enough counters unless you decide to not do anything for a couple of turns, but even then it would spiral into an outrageous number by then. You'd need to calculate from before you even play the madness what you are gunna do.
Could it work with suspend?
it can work without suspend as well, it's all about timing.
Ya it would be a very VERY complex deck design. But if you were to win with that combo the right way.....woah. That's all I gotta say.
better off using worldfire and suspending barren glory before the bigboom

I think they made it so that people who pulled it would go into a {Descent of Madness}😂😂😂
