Most powerful casual decks

The Kitchen Table forum

One of the big advantages of casual magic is that there is no banned list. This means that, as long as you're willing to spend the money, you can brew with any card ever printed.

So what are some powerful* casual decks that you've built or seen?

Personally my favorite casual deck is my monoblue delver deck. Purely because Gush, Treasure Cruise, and Preordain all in the same deck makes me so very very happy.

*Powerful is entirely relative and subjective. Whatever you consider a powerful casual deck.

I'm not sure about decks, but some popular casual cards include Fastbond and Contract from Below.Both are powerful and cheap.

I run a Pestermite + Splinter Twin combo casual deck. I classify it as casual b/c those are the only cards worth any value. The rest is just Cancels, Inspirations, and Drift of Phantasms.

My group plays budget casual. My budget 8-rack is one of the rage quit inducers as is an Iona centered Angel deck another guy pilots.

"One of the big advantages of casual magic is that there is no banned list."

so are we talking about playsets of sol rings or even more rediculous things? always-turn1-win-casual-decks? because thats pretty easy to achieve and makes absolutely no sense.

I'm thinking it's not always fun to play the most powerful deck for casual play, but rather to mix overpowered cards with bad cards.An example is Nicol Bolas' deck from DOTP 2013, he plays multiple Moxes, followed by the terrible Gem of Becoming and Jhessian Zombies.You can buy proxy cards that don't use any copyright imagery or icons online.

Not the most powerful thing I've seen, but I have a buddy who runs a deck with Etherium Sculptor, Master of Etherium, etc. four Sol Rings, a ton of cluestones and keyrunes, and March of the Machines. Also, Mycosynth Lattice.

Think he has Tron lands and Cyclonic Rift in there too, because why not?

This is not legal in any format. It is hilarious.

I love making casual decks that make you win without ever attacking. For one on one games, Sphinx-Fall beats my friends most of the time. When it comes to multiplayer games, I love running anything with the combo of Impact Tremors + Krenko, Mob Boss .
