Pitch Badger/Hysterical Badgers

[Agrus Kos, Enforcer of Truth]

Is this a real thing? From Gavin Verhey's Blog:

please explain Pitch Badger, it sounds hilarious

I'm not surprised you haven't heard of it, since it only broke onto the Legacy scene recently. It aims to do this:

Turn 1, on the draw:
Exile Elvish Spirit Guide, Charging Badger.
Exile Simian Spirit Guide, Mass Hysteria
Attack
Exile Progenitus to Blazing Shoal
Exile Progenitus to Blazing Shoal
GAME

You can also play Hammerhand instead of Mass Hysteria because it's better, but the downside is that then you can't also call the deck Hysterical Badgers.

I have to see a decklist for this, I don't care how inconsistent it is, I just want to see it win a game.

This isn't a legacy deck.  It's a casual deck.

Not if it wins I can see it being legit, especially if you run {Goblin Charbelcher} package in the sideboard. Think about it: {Gitaxian Probe}s and {Street Wraith}s mean you have a 52 card deck and {Serum Powder} can get you there with a hand. Lastly, you don't have to have {Progenitus} ({Bearer of the Heavens}, {Lord of Tresserhorn}, and {Nova Chaser} can all do an impression) and I am sure there are other combo pieces you could play that could accomplish a lot of the same thing.

You guys realize that takes an 8 card starting hand of exactly the right cards, right?

Lol, yeah...I'm not saying it is going to be a top tier deck, I just want to know if someone actually brought this to a tournament and I want to see the decklist.

Blazing shoal works by cmc, not power

In which case you've got {Reaper King} for this.

That actually gives us more options. Also: if you don't need trample you can play {Ornithopter} and {Memnite}, which require less constrictions.

Are there no lands in this deck?

[Agrus Kos, Enforcer of Truth]

Are there no lands in this deck?

Nope, and I couldn't find the sideboard, but supposedly the deck has a transformational sideboard that turns it into a {Dragonstorm} deck.

Yeah I was going to ask about those dragon storms

[Munchlax]

Maybe replace them with {faithless looting} or somethjng

Don't get me wrong, I don't think its a good deck, nor do I want to build it, I just thought it was hilarious that someone brought it to a SCG tournament.

[Ekann1]

I would totally build this, because CHARGING BADGER!

[cltrn81]

I would rather run {raging goblin} and {berzerk} and then you really only need {blazing shoal} into {profentius} for game.
