People are strange

by surewhynot on 30 October 2012

Main Deck (60 cards)

Sideboard (0 cards)

No sideboard found.

The owner of this deck hasn't added a sideboard, they probably should...

Submit a list of cards below to bulk import them all into your sideboard. Post one card per line using a format like "4x Birds of Paradise" or "1 Blaze", you can even enter just the card name by itself like "Wrath of God" for single cards.

I've always wanted to make one of these. Weird Tribal deck =]

I saw the title... ...I figured, that it's gonna' be you... :))

I'd drop Frostborn for 3 Delver & a 3rd Snapcaster...

This would be fun to play!.. :)

to be honest, blistercoil is just not good enough for this deck (weird right?) untapping it is relevant at some points but unless it becomes at 5/5 late game it can be easily dealt with

I have to disagree with you there. Blistercoil provides a steady pace of aggro right from the start. For example, here's a scenario I just had with it:

Turn 1 I play Bistercoil, Turn 2 I play hit the opponent with a Bolt and use Distortion Strike on Blistercoil. Turn 3 I play Brainstorm and fetch up Mizzium Mortars (then play it) to remove a blocker. Turn 4 play a second Bolt then flash it back with Snappy.

T1 - 0 damage, T2 - 7 damage, T3 - 4 damage and a blocker is gone, T4 - 6 damage

Those plays somehow gave me an idea of making a Nivmagus Elemental deck, just using phyrexian mana spells...turn 2 doing 15 damage (in theory)

I liked the PoetMaster sugestion, 3 delvers in place of Frostborn in this deck would be awesome
Delver you just need to show a spell, Frostborn you always have to pay for it to get pumped up.
But the combos that this deck can make are really nice ;DD

Take a look at my mill stantard deck when u have time, and please leave a comment too ;P

frostburn seems incredibly weak

I wouldn't call it weak, but it's not all that strong either, I won't lie. The thing is, this is a Weird tribal deck, and so I gotta keep them around. IMHO, the three Weirds I have in here are the three best =/

Interesting deck, I had honestly never heard of Weirds before! Just an FYI, but it's not actually considered tribal unless it contains at least 1/3 spells from said tribe. Even so, cool deck!

Yeah, I've heard it done that way, but these are for our shop's casual tribal format, where 10 cards need to be dedicated to the tribe. It allows for a larger amount of "oddball" tribes =]

And Weirds have been around since the original Ravnica block, but there were hardly any, and only one that was really good (Gelectrode). Now that there's more, I finally was able to put this thing together =]

Yeah, to be honest, I've been bouncing between Frostburn, which costs less to cast, and Petrahydrox, which is pretty beefy and quite the troll for removal...

Decisions, decisions =/

I'd keep Frostburn, but not for the right reasons I think. I'd keep it because the mana curve is sexier this way.

For some reason the mana curve thingy is really janky as of late, and not just with hybrid colors =/

I think right now the curve is actually 18/18/4 and if I switched to Petrahydrox it would be 18/14/4/4

Both those curves are pretty smexy, so I honestly gotta figure out which way I want to go =/

Hmmmm, 18/14/8/4 is a pretty sexy mana curve. And Petrahydrox dodging targeted removal is pretty nice, even if it means you have to recast it.

The list looks like it runs pretty smoothly for the tribal format your group uses, I'm slightly shocked by that. I never thought a weird deck would be worth it.

Petrahydrox is such a troll in that regard. He's a good beat stick as a 3/3, and his ability leads to much lulz. As for the speed and efficiency of this deck, you could say its success is a little..."Weird". B]

YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well this is certainly a wierd deck...
Front page :D
Also I know it isn't a wierd, but this deck just seems PERFECT for Nivmagus Elemental...

When I first saw Nivmagus, I had to re-read its creature type multiple times. It would have made so much more sense as a weird. Ah well...this deck is running much better now that I switched out frostburn for petrahydrox.

I thought this was going to be humans.
I was going to call you a whore in every language I knew. And then you surprised me.
You showed me how much more beautiful Izzet trolling would be if they gave us back gelectrode for Retrav. Gelectrode + Blistercoil = spamming shitty spells for unparalleled trolling.

Nice deck. Why try guttersnipe somehow it would fit nicely. I need some suggestions for my UWR modern deck it works well but i have issues with Tron decks. If anyone could help me out it would be much appreciated.

If you can find a place for Guttersnipe it could do really some damage here. Or Curiosity for card drawing. Really nice deck though, please comment my deck too if have time, http://www.mtgvault.com/ViewDeck.aspx?DeckID=405388

I honestly don't like Pyromancer Ascension in this deck... Maybe you can switch in two more Epic Experiments instead?

Btw, can you leave a comment on my Epic Experiment article saying I can't access the forums so there won't be an article tomorrow?

Really? It's pretty nuts in here to be honest. As for your article, yeah I can do that...though it seems I'm one of the few people right now that CAN use the forums =/

Sorry to post this on your deck comments surewhynot but I wanted to ask this somewhere where people would see it, but is anyone else having trouble looking at the forums? I cant look at any of the forum posts and havent been able to for a few days. does anyone know why or is this just happening to me?

andddd i might as well post something on your deck too, as not to be an asshole. I like epic experiment being apart of this deck, i really like the card. You think a 3rd snapcaster would be beneficial? i was thinking it might help, also maayybbeee think about elixir of immortality? or at least sideboard it if you make one for this deck. either way this deck is a "strange" deck (pun intended)

This is awesome surewhynot. As a depressing side note, the front page is full of "OMG HANKS SO MUCH FRONT PAGE" rather than master deckistry. Haven't been on for ages, hope that's not how its gonna be.

SureWhyNot, I knew of no other way to contact you other then posting on your most recent deck thread. I am in need of some serious veteran help. I got this edh deck that I built for my play group. What you see in the deck is what I got and you can expect the others to be playing with similar cards (price range). If you can give me some advice then I would be greatly appreciate it. http://www.mtgvault.com/ViewDeck.aspx?DeckID=407778 :) Also if anyone else wants to give input then that is welcome to. Also if you can post your advice on the deck link then that would be awesome. Not trying to troll this site so this will be my post (I need real help and not likes), so if anyone feels worth their salt in magic help me out and don't iqnore this. I can tell this deck will be the main target of me play group, and I wouldn't want it any other way, I just need to try and survive. Sorry for the long post but just need to let all players know this is legit. PS: I love tribal decks no matter how strange, weak, weird, or pointless. Its part of their charm and I like yours if that means anything. Thank you for your time.

"strange, weak, weird, or pointless" - not specifacally calling your deck this just a general statement. I build fun, silly, and just plain out stupid decks more then anyone in my play group so I understand building around an interesting theme, tribe, or idea.

Oddly enough, i feel like boomerang would not only fit the feel of this deck better than cyclonig rift but also would help out alot more. And on that note, I feel like an artifact that would benefit you greatly is isochron sceptor, since it would not only allow you to constantly get the double from ascension but also untap gelectrode(:
Just an idea though, I'm not quite sure I see the deck for exactly what it is since its a bit on the weirder side of things ;P
And hey man, if you don't mind, I have a pretty evil deck I'd be interested in you looking at?? ^-^
Youve given me some great advice before and have one of my favorite decks on the vault, so ur advice would be much appreacitated <3
Look at your own risk tho :D
