This deck is comprised of some of the most interesting, fun, weird shenanigans that the color Red (and colorless) have to offer. The game plan is to cast as many weird spells that are fun, a bit chaotic, random, interactive, and bonkers, while encouraging the game to move in unexpected ways. I would say that Diochan, Artful Beauty is the true commander of this deck, but I love the FTV:Angels art for Akroma, Angel of Fury, and I figured the deck needs an actual win condition in the command zone.

Some of my favorite cards in the deck I wanted to highlight are Possibility Storm, Omen Machine, Avarice Totem , Mindclaw Shaman, Disrupt Decorum, Custody Battle , Risky Move, Illicit Auction, Elkin Lair , and Goblin Game .

There are a smattering of group hug cards in order to enable your opponents to do cool things too in order to have an interesting game. Anvil of Bogardan, Font of Mythos, Otherworld Atlas, Temple Bell, Howling Mine, Gate to the AEther, Boldwyr Heavyweights,

There is a subtheme of coin flips (Chance Encounter is an unlikely but possible win condition when used with Krark's Thumb, Karplusan Minotaur , Impulsive Maneuvers, Goblin Bomb, Tide of War, Game of Chaos , Fiery Gambit , and some one-off coin flippers like Puppet's Verdict , Mogg Assassin, etc.

And of course, the big boys are in here: Warp World, Scrambleverse , Whims of the Fates, and Thieves' Auction.

However, if you're really looking to win, you can always steal a game by using Wild Ricochet and Dualcaster Mage on someone else's Exsanguinate, which is the only time this deck has won (granted, I've only used it a handful of times).

If you can think of any cards you think fit well in the deck and would be a blast to add, then please let me know! Take care :)
