Obnoxious Deck Suggestions

Mkay, so the people I generally play casual with all have years of experience over me for collecting and deck building, so pretty much any deck I make with my relatively puny collection and lack of deck building skills is pretty much guaranteed to lose against any one of them, never mind three to five of them at a single table. So, I'm thinking of building a deck whose sole purpose is not to win, but to make life interesting for everybody for as long as I'm in the game. Not in a mean screw-you-all kind of way; I still want them to enjoy playing with me. But just to throw a wrench in their gears every now and again to see how things can go. Any ideas what color/combo I should run, or cards I could use?

timesifter is a monkey wrench of a card you might want to consider.

GoofyFoot's right. Just be aware that not everyone like to play with hug/chaos. In big groups, they tend to draw out games or allow people to go for wins that would have otherwise been contested. This goes doubly so for group hug decks that actually attempt to win with some combo. Surprisingly, you draw a lot of hate with decks of this kind.

Do you guys play kitchen table modern? Well for me the most annoying wrenches that I encounter are usually the random good stuff I never expect: Wall of Frost, Stone Rain, Stab Wound, Manabarbs, Stoic Angel, Whelming Wave, Killing Wave, and anything with split second.
One of my friends just brings a playset of Thragtusk and Pelakka Wurm to the table and I think it's pretty damn effective in multiplayer.

Most annoying thing to face in casual modern? Pixie Stixs. Oh my dear lord.

Fill your deck with nothing but 1-and-2-drop deathtouchers and cards that allow them to tap do deal damage where you choose (such as Viridian Longbow)
A friend of mine runs a deck like this in our playgroup and it's just... so mean

Funnest time I ever had while playing EDH: Cast and copy+kicker Rite of Replication on a Perplexing Chimera.

Worldfire, lots of mana (say 25), a ton of mana ramp to get up to playing it before you die, and lots of 1-drop creatures creatures with Haste like Legion Loyalist.
Blow up everyone's everything, and then pray you draw into a land and a creature quicker than they do!

MagicalHacker - Zedruu the Greathearted is the perfect deck for this.

Look up group hug/hate/chaos decks in EDH. The are super fun.
