I enjoy playing decks that his from very obscure, "janky", angles that takes a lot of skill to play competitively. This deck uses weird ways to cheat out huge eldrazi by the strange interaction of mana costs involving the fuze card Breaking. When i was looking at the rules text for fuze cards at magiccards.info, one of the statements about the cards provided the information that if you were allowed to play one side of the fuze card without paying its mana cost, you could also cast the other half even though they have different mana costs. Using this information I set off to make a competitive deck utilizing this neat little loop hole.

Gameplan

You have two ways to cheat out your big boys with Breaking. Choose one of the two depending on your starting hand.

STRATEGY 1: Set up your library with scry effects like Serum Visions and Mystic Speculation, then use Epic Experiment with X equaling (4 mana total), which will (hopefully) exile Breaking. Breaking puts a big boy like Void Winnower into your graveyard and Entering brings it out.

STRATEGY 2: Have both Kari Zev's Expertise and Breaking in your hand and Forbidden Orchard as one of your lands. Tap Forbidden Orchard for mana to give your opponent a spirit and cast Kari Zev's Expertise targeting the spirit. Kari Zev's Expertise allows you to cast Breaking. Breaking puts a big boy like Void Winnower into your graveyard and Entering brings it out.

OTHER THINGS: Faithless Looting helps you dig for key cards a throw your big boys into your graveyard. Pact of Negation is to make sure you can combo off safely, but be careful when you use it. Lightning Bolt, Fatal Push, Damnation, and Remand are stall/removal options so your opponent doesn't get ahead of you before you combo off.

Sideboard

Collective Brutality Is an all-round card that can save your butt against certain matchups. Great discard outlet as well to throw your big boys in the graveyard. Counterbalance is really strong against zoo and merfolk if you are able to control what is on top of your library, but is very weak against tron and Grixis Shadow so it shouldn't be mainboarded. Dispel and Negate are great against burn and control. Pact of Negation is for hard control matchups. Shadowfeed is ran to not get destroyed by aggro or burn, but is also okay against dredge. Shatterstorm is great for affinity and other combo decks.
