EDH - The Quest for Jank

Commander / EDH*

This started life as a Hydra themed deck, and as time went on and tinkering occurred, it gained less hydras and more jank. This deck has a fair few different puzzles to find pieces for, some overlapping to increase chances of finding enough to do something stupid.

My particular favourite is Unbound Flourishing with Debt to the Deathless , for which, you could in theory kill everyone for 14 mana, and with it being b/w, and the majority of the deck being g/r/u, might not be predictable. Other combos involve getting Sword of Truth and Justice and Sigil of Distinction on Core Prowler to hit for infect, then grow and proliferate to increase the poison and the sting of the next attack.

I do worry I'm trying to squeeze too many combos into one deck though, so looking forward to some actual testing.

I welcome any comments to help me develop this further, or perhaps ideas on how to improve.

So on curve, turn 3, Managorger, was delightful. Was playing against Admiral Brass, New Omnath and a green deck, I forget who was commanding it, but it was basically a Chaos deck. Managorger gets to +17+17 and was stolen by Brass, I had no way to get it back, so need to think about that. That being said though, the deck stayed alive long enough to get down to the final two, I lost, but I missed 4 triggers on Path of discovery, with green mana open, I would have seen I had Electrodominance on the top of the library, the 4 creatures entering (4 x 2/2 Citizens from Planewide Celebration) would have let me draw those cards with Beastiary, Wilderness Reclaimation would have untapped all my mana, and I could have killed Pirates on my end step. But i missed it all and was killed.

Game two, Planechase, the Planes killed me, simple as that, was an interesting game, but I didn't learn anything about my deck from that game.

Game three, Planechase again. This one I won, with a little luck on a chaos card played by an opponent, and a rediculously big hydra. Hungering Hydra + Sigil of Distinction + Sword of Truth and Justice = big hydra. I surived a boardwipe from a chaos card while others did not, which let me electrodominace one to death, and swing another to death on the last turn, nice to know that plan works on paper as well as in theory.

Golos didn't do much really, he's not too grand with X spells, and didn't get alot of opportunity to use his ability. Looking forward to trying again with this deck, thinking I need a little more protection from steal spells, or perhaps a steal spell of my own?
