The strategy here is to have Anje in play asap and, cycling all the madness cards, starting to dig for worldgorger dragon + animate dead combo generating infinite mana and having infnite activations of Anje. With that, we can find one of our mana sinks killing the table. I usually don't try to go off if i haven't at least 1 way to protect the combo (like a pyroblast) but even if we lose our primary combo we got the dualcaster mage + twinflame as a backup or we can even starting play like a very weak midrange madness deck but usually, if we end up like that, our chance of winning at that point is very low. Beeing a rakdos all in combo in a world of blue isn't the best but our ability to go off from nothing can manage to catch the table off guard giving us the win!

Any suggestion and discussion about the list and how to improve it in the comments section are gold! Make sure to leave your considerations about the deck; this is my first cEDH deck and probably the only one for now that i'm going to build so i want it to be the best version of itself and i need your opinions to make that possible!

Special thanks to Ryan for bringing his version of this deck in a cEDH match in the season finale of cEDH brought by Playing With Power MTG youtube channel, giving me the ispiration to build a version myself.
