Some special notes about this deck :P

1: Win condition? What's a win condition? There is none here, the entire purpose of this deck is to make the game as fun and bizarre as possible for laughs! I did choose to include the {Maze's End} win condition with {Scapeshift} so the deck is actually capable of a win, and with this condition as a win it allows for the fun of the game to continue even after I win for more insanity to occur.

2: my strategy for not dying is to politically convince players to not hurt me because I will make the game hilarious.

3: this deck is a terrible idea, but it's going to be funny, and I want to do it :D

As you can see, it's a few cards over, I'm down to the final few cuts and could use some advice. Based on the fact that this deck is simply for amusement, laughs, and having fun, any input along those lines is welcome :)

Haha, pretty much. I laughed out loud when I first saw {Grip of Chaos}, and said "Yup, this deck is happening."

ApexPredator

 {Possibility Storm} seems like a great card for this. 

Gorzo

It's in there, and I love it ;)

I was doing a sample draw last night and noticed something I hadn't seen before. {Obliterate} destroys lands, creatures, and artifacts... NOT enchantments, which are the bread and butter of the shinanegans of this deck. I laughed out loud when I noticed what would happen when this happened with my deck.

SOME IS USING {CHAOS LORD}!!!

My hat is off to you Gorzo!!!

I know you're already a few cards over but what about {Goblin Bomb}? If you're looking for take out suggestions, maybe {Manabarbs}? If anything ticks players off more its land restriction (I learnt that from my LD obsession days).

That last ability... Might want a {Phelldagryph}!!!

Gorzo

Getting down to crunch time!

- {Bazaar Trader}. He doesn't give enchantments! So he's going to be pretty worthless to me, even if I get him out together with Zedruu.

And I realized at this point, I only have 9 creatures in the deck. None of which are essential. So...

- {Worldly Tutor}
- {Lightning Greaves}

And along those lines...

- {Mass Polymorph}
+ {Proteus Staff}

I still want the staff, because I will be stealing creatures with chaos, and polymorphing them will be hilarious. But mass Polymorph is not at all necessary.

Only 3 cuts to go!

Double-O-Scotch

Cut mana barbs. Too expensive for too little damage.

Gorzo

- {Curse of Exhaustion}

- {Rampant Growth}
+ {Explosive Vegetation}

I thought about cutting manabarbs, but then during a sample draw, I had {sphere of safety} + 7 enchants out, played {manabarbs}, then {Obliterate}. I literally laughed out loud when I though about how players would react to this tactic. I have to do it.

Gorzo

This one might raise some eyebrows, but...

- {Sol Ring}.

I have a lot of ramp in here that makes up for it, and {Thran Dynamo} is still there to do work.

Plus, the raise in the ring's price tag has me shying away. The revised edition now costs less than the commander edition. That's just silly.

Double-O-Scotch

But the new art is sooo pretty...(in foil)

I've actually never seen it in foil. I wish you could get the old art in foil - I love the whole "Eye of Sauron" thing it has going on :P

I need one more measly cut. I'm considering cutting a land, honestly, but running less than 40 in a 5 color deck scares me a bit. It should be okay with the ramp, though, right? Maybe?

Double-O-Scotch

It'll work! You get a free mull in EDH anyways...
