Harmless Presents Prank Deck

a nasty deck utilizing the incredible might of Blim !

This is my casual deck where the goal is very simple; attack your opponents with Blim and gift them "presents" .

The deck contains a set of enchantments which are annoying to receive (ex: Demonic Pact ). Just be sure to give them away. To be able to find and cast such "presents" before you are overrun by faster decks, effects like ramp, tutor, and slows are included (ex: Sad Robot , Shred Memory , and Silent Arbiter ).

In addition to gifts and slows, Blim also let people discard. Which is an extra way to gain that extra bit of control on the meta. Cards like Waste Not shall provide great value when people discard.

Once you have gifted your "present" to an opponent, you should look for ways to spread the joy of giving equally. My favorite echantment to give is Nefarious Lich , which technically let you take an opponent hostage - when you go down, he/she goes down with you (which is totally in flavor of this deck!). Once you have gifted all your nasty gifts to every opponents, you can play Bojuka Bog or use Tel-Jilad Stylus to close out the game instantly.

Some protection is included in case someone wants to destroy your precious commander, or other emergencies (ex: Lightning Greaves . Red Elemental Blast and Bolt Bend ).

Funfact section: There are a lot of red cards that let you gain control of target creature until end of turn, dish out some damage and give gift them back to someone else. They won't return to the original owner.

Suggestions are welcome :)

Had a couple of rounds with my boys these past weeks. Blim fared ok-ish. Found out I was in a bit of a internal conflict by gifting these bad gifts - but I flipped the switch for myself. Overall, the deck very slow - the only way to speed up is to fix the mana base and to slow others down.

  • added Red Elemental Blast : Always nice to have an answer at the ready.
  • added Manabarbs : The rakdos way right? RIDE OR DIE.
  • added Price of Glory : I need to be THAT guy.
  • added Tel-Jilad Stylus : I need an answer when sometimes nasty stays on my board / remove nefarious lich for easy KO.
  • added Phyrexian Etchings : More card-draw is needed so I can draw more answers + it has flavor.
  • added Deadly Rollick : A bit on the pricey side of things but I jumped the gun, Deadly Rollick is really good. RIP wallet tho.
  • added Chaos Warp : It's a good removal spell for RED.
  • added Better lands : Removed my slow lands for this, this should speed up my deck a fair bit.
  • added Hall of the Bandit Lord and Hanweir Battlements  Flip  Meld : Being able to cast Blim with haste is key, for now he's too slow.
  • added Words of Waste : Kinda want the discard theme going. Let's see how this card fares.
  • removed Priest of the Blood Rite, there are better cards to gift and since the deck is slow I need to hit hard when it matters.
  • removed Abyssal Persecutor, not sure yet but gifting a 6/6 flyers is not the way for me.
  • removed Bloodthirsty Blade, not sure as well: pairs nicely with Plague Reaver but it doesn't trigger Blim.
  • removed Curse of Opulence, same reason as above, doesn't trigger Blim (I thought it did at first).
  • removed Grafted Skullcap, has bitten me in the ass a lot. AND a lategame topdecking opponent is kinda happy with the 'draw two cards'
