This deck is a combo beatdown deck. Jam packed to the brim with combos this deck's idea is that statistically I'll draw one of the combos right? With the inclusion of \"wildcards\" (tutors) it becomes more fun. Half of the battle of running this deck is knowing which combo pieces to fetch certain wildcards only find certain pieces. And what do you do if you have no pieces? Do you wait? Can you wait for a counterspell or do run out your combo now?\n\nThis deck is meant to combat one of my least favorite things about combo decks and that's their linear game progression. With the various amount of win conditions it can be tricky and requires you to think about what you want to play. The other thing I love about this deck is the drawing. Everyone has experienced that feeling where they draw the exact card to fit the exact scenario that saves them or wins them the game. The rush of drawing that card and it be exactly what you need. This deck provides that more often than other decks.\n\nArguably my favorite part of this masterpiece is watching your opponents scramble in a frenzy to answer everyone of your spells. The amusement you can get from watching your opponent puzzle over if you have the other piece in your hand or are baiting removal or slamming innocuous creature and artifacts with funny abilities and the opponents be afraid. Watching the opponent squirm is a control players dream and now you can do it in commander even if you lose!\n\nAlso I like to give funny names for the combos and that was fun loved this challenge\n"}]}
