Ever wanted to make everyone, and I mean EVERYONE in a multiplayer game, use a Door to Nothingness on themselves? Well, now you can... in a fantastic, budget way!

I was able to pull this off the first time I played with this at my LGS. The game, from my perspective, turned from "What is he doing? He hasn't done anything yet," to "Oh cool, Upwelling ! Thanks man!" to "What is he up to? He's been playing with himself for almost 5 minutes with Genesis Wave and drawing all these cards" to "This can't be good..." to "Why is he giving us each a Door to Nothingness ?" to "What the heck just happened?!!"

Now to shelf this deck away until they forget about it... then do it again. =p

The Play

Get at least four elves out, to include Elvish Archdruid . Cast and equip Umbral Mantle to the Archdruid. Tap the Archdruid for four or more green mana. Use three of it and the Mantle's activated ability cost to untap the Archdruid. Rinse and repeat for infinite green mana.

Cast Genesis Wave for where X is the exact amount of cards left in your library - or just some arbitrary amount - to put at least Azure Mage , Door to Nothingness , Elixir of Immortality , Gemstone Array , Mindslaver , and Upwelling onto the battlefield. Use Elixir of Immortality to shuffle all your spells that you dumped with the Wave back into your library. Keep a Hive Mind in your hand.

Wash your infinite green mana into some blue using Gemstone Array so you can draw the rest of your library using Azure Mage .

Wash some more green mana into red and give your Doors away, tapped, using Harmless Offering to each opponent. ( Donate works here too, but I think it's funnier with Harmless Offering . I mean, can you refuse that face?)

Cast Hive Mind , then cast Channel the Suns , which gets copied by Hive Mind by all other players. Do this at least twice so everyone has . Then sacrifice your Mindslaver and take an opponent's turn. (If you have more than one opponent, use Azure Mage to re-draw your Elixir of Immortality and use it to return your Mindslaver to your library, then redraw it with Azure Mage and cast it again to sac for all other players.) End your turn.

Upwelling keeps all the mana from Channel the Suns in each player's mana pool. As you take over other players' turns, use this mana to activate their newly-acquired, now-untapped Door to Nothingness and target "themselves." Laugh maniacally.

If you didn't have enough Doors to go around, use Elixir of Immortality yet again to shuffle your Doors back into your library, then repeat this whole mess again. (Since you took everyone's turn away from them, even if you don't have a Door to use, you can essentially "skip" their turn to get back to yours.) Continue to laugh maniacally.

Prepare to never be able to use this deck again with the same people.

The Weaknesses

• It's a combo deck, so removing anything from it will kill it. We are running multiple copies of everything, so unless ALL copies of a key card are exiled, we should be okay once we kick off infinite mana with the right cards in hand... because you can get your stuff back using Elixir of Immortality and re-drawing with Azure Mage , using Gemstone Array to wash mana.

• Players can just use the mana you give them with Channel the Suns for their instant spells. Fine and dandy as long as we can repeat the process to ensure they keep at least in their mana pools.

• If someone has a buyback spell like Capsize to ruin the use of that lovely mana you gave with Channel the Suns , remember that you control their next turn with Mindslaver , so just waste it away without the buyback.

• If someone plays graveyard hate, hopefully you can use your Elixir of Immortality in response.

The Credit

Inspired by There's the Door! by Caligula. I decided to make a version that's 1/6th the cost. Not as effective or stylish (as Caligua's version leaves nothing but the Door), but still fun and doable!

The concept was in turn inspired by RulerOf with his original deck Endless Possibilities: Show Yourself Out.

Both of their versions are much more technical and stylish and give no way out... mine is more of a multiplayer version that works on everyone without the fuss or muss of forcing them to use the Door on themselves. Admittedly, it doesn't have as much flair, but being "that guy" who forced 4+ other players in a multiplayer game to Door themselves... well, yeah. =p
