That's awesome.

This is too awesome and hilarious. I think I'll make this as a good laugh deck, throw in some stuff like Spellbook and whatnot. I'm sure I'll get some weird looks in my group. +1

So it looks like the accelerate mana cards to use would be as follows. Very limited. However, it's enough to let you play your commander on turns one or two, and to perform the combo on the following turn. Just mulligan until you get one of these or your Ad Nauseum, and use the tutor ability right after you play your commander to find the other piece, and you can start it even earlier.

Cabal Ritual

Rain of Filth

I've used an extremely similar deck before. I had to shelf it because I kept getting hated off the table. My suggestion, and one of my favorites, is Zombie Infestation . It's an excellent alternate win-condition.

Haha. The best mana splits I've ever seen. And I love the simplicity of it, as well as how cheap it is to make this commander deck. +1

I love making cheap, but effective EDH decks. Check mine out and see if you have any ideas/help for them! I have too many cards in mine and clearly, choosing between cards is not an issue for you, as evidenced in this deck.

The problem with adding other cards, beyond the obvious whole point of this deck being silly, is that they encourage a mulligan. With this deck, if I go below seven cards, I have to wait another turn!

I don't follow. The vast majority of cards you will draw will be swamps, so you are free to mulligan until you get a mana accelerate card that I listed, allowing you to start this combo earlier, or until you get down to two cards in hand.

I'd also recommend an Elixir of Immortality in case your combo misses, so that you can start the shenanigans all over again. That card alone increases your viability with this deck tremendously.

You discard five cards to scourge familiar in order to generate mana. You need five cards in hand to generate the five mana to cast ad nauseam.

I see what you're saying. Yeah, you need to tutor up both the scourge and the nauseum, and you cast it off of your scourge. That does make sense.

Still, consider one Elixir of Immortality just to protect it and let it go off again.

You had me at It only works once... Well done +1

This is the exact same deck my brother built. Reminds of those 58 mountain Countryside Crusher decks.

BRILLIANT +1!

How about: Pack Rat

what about Slaughter Pact or something, to make sure that they can't tutor some other win condition, like Felidar Sovereign

Brilliant!!! +1

I bow down to your Awesomeness +1

you're right about only working once. The second that card hits the table you better kill any combo player in 2 turns or the table is dead. +1 for lols.

chocolate101 - in any proper match everyone tutors up a counterspell.......

ik but then they counter your card

What? Your playing Maralen. You tutor for Ad Nauseam . Everyone else tutors for counterspell. You cast Ad Nauseam . They cast Negate . GG

That's how it works in the real world.

So there's no point for Slaughter Pact or anything else. The real issue with Maralen is that she allows everyone else to tutor first.

This deck, as I thought people could tell, is a joke. It's a glass cannon that never even gets loaded because opponents get to search for the best removal possible for maralen. It's not supposed to be good.

Oh lordy, this is HILARIOUS
