Happy belated birfday!

Seems like quite a personal thing to name your deck after, I'm a bit surprised honestly. Shame you messed up, but it's good that you got to remain friends at the least.
Tangle Wire is one of the best cards in multiplayer, but I can't stand how much hatred it draws :|http://uproxx.files.wordpress.com/2013/01/lemon-dealbreaker.gifI don't care in EDH though, there are so many evil things being casually tossed about that I feel like I'm not doing it right if I can't make people despise each card I play.
Super loving the Tangle Wires in here, they work phenomenally well, and it reminds me why I used to run them against Maverick.
I /just/ realized how amazing the Colossus is late game in here... And it's already amazing late game!http://i.imgur.com/HrcEHLf.gif
True, but that's the one game where I feel the need to play it safe. Affinity was the first aggro deck to beat my Reanimator without playing excessive hate, so it kind of messes with me every time I play against it.http://mylittlefacewhen.com/f/830/
I guess because he gets you more consistency via card advantage, I'm just blown away that it helps in that MU when you consider the lifeloss.http://i.imgur.com/Rae1VOY.gif
Really?! I usually go Pithing Needle+Revoker, and Pyroclasm if it's my Parfait build, and for Iso-Pox I just pick Needle, and Abrupt Decays. I guess since PAL can't sweep the board so easily it's a little harder than just denying Tezzeret plays, but generally just going Needle on Tezzeret, and Abrupt Decay on Cranial Plating does the trick for me. Past that the damage rates can't go far enough, as they /need/ something to let them break past the ten damage threshold by turn four usually.
The funniest part to me is that it actually is super useful in EDH.
That's because Ween is awesome!And I remember something about Omnibian being dubbed the Hypno-Toad, and it instantly became my favorite creature ever... I can't exactly remember w-ALL GLORY TO THE HYPNO-TOAD!
Damn it, I just stopped randomly singing voodoo lady, and now you're using more Ween names. You know what? From now on I'm naming EDH decks after Mr. Bungle songs.Also, Kraj EDH is so much fun. I love Evolve, and Graft obvioulsy, but Morphling is one of my favorite Blue cards ever printed. It's just so cool!
Switching from two Metamorph and three Tarmogoyfs to having two Tarmogoyfs and three TNN is just beautifully evil. I don't know how I feel about sideboard Bobs though... They provide a recovery option, but I just feel like they're lackluster in this. What MUs are you bringing those in on?
I love the consistency of it, but I really want basics of some kind... If I had the room it'd run at least one of each of the primary colors, just so I could have the increased resiliency.That's... That's shenanigans indeed. You're welcome I suppose, and I'm sorry to all of your friends.There are probably better options, I just can't figure out what I'd rather run. And I honestly think you're exaggerating the importance of Deathrite in this deck, even in that match. I'd honestly rather extract Tarmogoyf with most Extraction builds. Deathrite is a sustainable source of ability damage, yeah, but it's not like it's really difficult to deal with.Honestly, against these I prefer to side in more hand disruption, and the second Extirpate.And of course I'll look at it! It has been a while since I've checked your decks in all honesty, and I'm excited to see that you have some more finally!
Æther Vial in these actually just leaves you disappointed believe it or not. Plus, compared to aggro decks designed to use it as acceleration(Goblins, Fish, and Maverick for instance) it seems pathetic.Charm and 'Goyf is so wonderful, no matter what you pick! I love it so much, and it was one of the reasons I originally came to love the Charm. I first used it in a Canadien Thresh style build, and it was simply monstrous!And the full playset of the charms would be too much really, at least in this. Two seems to be my magic number for them.
Hmmm, I like the split of two Izzet Charms, and a copy of Fire // Ice, but I want/need to test that. It could work brilliantly, it could introduce too much variation though, as this is already pretty scatter brained on paper as it is. I know it feels differently when playing, but I can't help but feel afraid that it'll be the move that pushes it over the edge.Also, if they made a Phantasmal Image with Flash, even if it was three mana, it'd probably be one of the most incredibly useful creatures ever printed. At four mana it would feel like a waste though, and if left at two it would actually be a bit broken. I'd be more excited if they made a color shifted version though! Green would allow them to be in creature toolboxes, and Black would enable mono-Black aggro-control to become insane.
I can't lie and say I sit there stone-faced playing this, I start giggling like an idiot when I play it. But how could I not? As you said, it's like a Rube Goldberg machine in deck form! I know this deck is stupid, but I can't help but love it.
Noooooooo! Natural Order is too integral as the finisher of the deck, going down on it would be suicide against basic aggro even. Goyf maybe, since I have access to GSZ, but NO and Lightning Bolt are beyond questioning for reducing in my opinion.
I have, but I'd like to play two, and I just don't have anything I can really go down on to make it work properly for that.
It's an excessive play, but neither of the cards are bad to play regardless. The likelihood of getting both isn't all that much, but it's an interesting play that could eventually happen.
Thanks! And It's always been my nature to be a bit eclectic with my designs, but I can entirely understand not being comfortable with them. The hands are different, but the variance is more minute than you'd think actually!
