Please post the list for this cube when your finished.
of course
Good! :)

How about cards like {Forbidden Orchard}.  {Howling Mine} (may have been said). {Rites of Flourishing}, {Dash Hopes}, mabye some slivers?  The old ones.  That way if more people play them, all effects apply to all slivers.  That being said, if you do that, {Hivestone}

Birdbrain

{guild fued}?

Any card from planer chaos?

Suggestions from Joel, my greatest mtg mentor to date.

Here is what I found while looking through the two best decks for this(red and blue): {Teferi's puzzle box}, {temporal aperture}, {crooked scales}, {stuffy doll}, {Puca's mischief}, {juxtapose}, {psychic battle}, {goblin game}, {puppet's verdict}, {tide of war}, {wild evocation}, {Kaboom!}, {stand or fall}, {avatar of slaughter}.
These are good too: {steam vines}, {Necrotic Plague}, {Traveling plague}, {Screams from Within}, {Takklemaggot}(such a cool card!) and {Endless Whispers}. Drop of honey and porphyry nodes.  Also, {spreading plague}, maybe {spreading algea}.
I don't think you will be able to make a color balanced cube that fits this(you will find very little white that fits well).
For black, you can have a heavy suite of hand destruction that discards at random(as opposed to reveal) like {Hymn to Tourach} and {hypnotic spectre}.
Cards with the keyword madness might be good too.
{Glyph of reincarnation} if you have enough walls(or you rule that the glyphs work on any creature and then just use them all).
If you want enchantments like {rancor}(ones that you can't get rid of), you should look through enchantments in Urza's block.  There is also a cycle of them in time spiral(block?).
Also, do a gatherer search for "Any player may activate this ability", you will get a bunch of hits that will work well.
There is also a card that on your upkeep it gets a counter then destroys stuff that cost the number of counters it has on it.  I think it costs five.
You also could make a planar deck that could add a whole lot more lack of control, especially if you require players to take their free roll.
{fuedkiller's verdict}, {survival cache}, {world queller}, keyword clash

Coffee Vampire

{Thieve's Auction}, {Hellcarver Demon}, {Dimensional Breach}

The1337Magician

And on top of it, make it Planeschase 😃

Kaleo, thank you and thank your friend for me. I'm pretty sure that last post gave me enough to finish making a complete deck list for my chaos EDH :)

Kaleo42


Agrus Kos, Enforcer of Truth

{Possibility Storm}?

Cascade
{Bloodbraid Elf}

Stuff that has to attack every turn like
{Hellraiser Goblin}
I find that when a creature has to attack every turn it makes the game more interesting because it takes choice away from the player

Also stuff that uses dice or coins like
{Goblin Tutor}
{Goblin Rookie}
{Scoria Wurm}
{Elvis Impersonators}
{Tavern Swindler}

And lastly maybe hellbent stuff
{Gathan Raiders}

Gorzo

I almost forgot one of my absolute favorites!


{Karplusan Minotaur}

Anoobass

I'm also new to magic but a good card I think that would work well would be {worldfire}

Mattao19

{Burning Wish} could be a fun one

Mabye we should find a type of chaos for each color!

Red would be {Confusion in the Ranks}, {Scambleverse}, and attack each turn type cards.

Blue would be {Hive Mind}, {Curse of Echos} {Mind Control} type cards.

White would be global effects like {Planar Cleansing}, {Balance}, type cards.

Green could be {Heartbeat of the Spring} type cards.

Black could be {Killing Wave}, {Necrotic Plague}, {Death Cloud}

And Lands could have interesting effects, man lands, {Contested War Zone}

Artifacts...  I dunno.

Then we have {Novablast Wurm}, {Karona, the False God}, etc..  For multicolor.

Kaleo42

You are mostly on track with what I am already planning.

Red is the only truly chaotic color
White balance type effects are the best form of white chaos
Blue has a great deal of spell redirection and copy effects
Green has hard to control creatures, or power with a drawback, as well as mana sharing
Black has random discard and hurt random player, or hurt you for random adavantage
Multicolor will be a big part of this cube
Lands will be mostly just fixing
