Hey - would love to talk to you about janky fun decks! I've been trying to make cards like Homarid Spawning Bed work (that one more in Legacy format than EDH - my playgroup is pretty lax with emphasis on fun - no infinite combos, frowns on lockouts and too many tutors and over-powered cards like Kozilek, Butcher of Truth and often votes to run Planeschase cards over our game which creates all kinds of crazy). I love being able to barely survive and game and then out of nowhere win due to playing Sea Kings' Blessing with Willbreaker out. Anyway, kudos to your great attitude about the game!

Love your deck! I am building the same theme myself and this is a great inspiration. Have you considered Homarid Spawning Bed and Reef Worm ?

I love statistics though.

I'm picking up copies of all these cards now lol especially these

• Fanatical Devotion
• Homarid Spawning Bed
• Cadaverous Bloom
• Ghost Town
• Meltdown
• Argivian Find
• Paralyze

I just want to mention Gaea's Touch , this card is criminally underplayed.

FormOverFunction I'm really impressed with Homarid Spawning Bed that card is like Aura Mutation and I love that card.

I’m sort of surprised Heat Stroke isn’t used more. I know it’s too slow for red burn, but I would assume token decks would get value from it (my goblin deck certainly does). Artificer's Hex is an all-time favorite of mine for my haunted house deck. Equipment cards bug me almost as much as planeswalkers so I love messing with them. It’s strong because it doesn’t outright destroy it, so GY recursion doesn’t save it. It’s weak (but more fair) because the player can still choose to use it if it’s worth the creature dying, which makes the play more engaging. Similar to equipment, other artifacts are so core to Standard EDH Decks(tm) that something like Corrosion can jack up a 4-player game big time. Clearly, I get a great deal of enjoyment out of dragging other players back to 1996 by destroying their insane swords and 1/3 flying first strike 1cmc creatures (or whatever). Giant Oyster is far from flashy, but killing things (even fliers!) with -1 toughness is strong, and especially brutal if they have to watch it happen over five non-untapping turns. (Note: sorry if you’ve looked at my decks before, I’m obviously just scrolling through them at this point) Walking Sponge can sometimes make wild swings in momentum in multiplayer. Hilarious. Homarid Spawning Bed produces so many tokens that I’m certain that if I was better at making functional decks I could misuse that in some sort of sac-outlet jank. How do you get giant creatures into play that are worth sacrificing? Glad you asked! Iceberg is such a crazy amount of ramp for blue I’m astonished that it’s not more popular. My guess would be that it’s practically impossible to find, because blue always wants blue mana rather than colorless and because cool new blue stuff is basically free anyways ;p but I've loved it ever since I found a (one!) copy of it for my Briny Deep deck. Breaking Wave might be something The Cool Kids are still using (sadly I wouldn’t know) but if it isn’t it absolutely should be as it can be bonkers. Paralyze was a lot of fun to use on your own creature that wouldn’t otherwise untap in your untap phase. I hope that still works nowadays. Transmutation had always been fun, and I hope it’s still useful. If you enjoy making deals cast a Callous Oppressor and start the bidding high! Do you like hurling insults down at the two strangers fighting in the ring? Get yourself a Whipkeeper and turn it up to eleven! This is way too long a post, so I’ll stop and see what else comes up in the posts. I’m looking forward to hearing about other people’s favorites!!

I’ve considered refining my The Briny Deep deck down into a 60 card deck. I think being able to have multiple copies of some of those cards would be fun. Maybe you build around something weird in that deck? Like Homarid Spawning Bed? No one ever expects The Homarid Inquisition.

Octopus Umbra fits the theme and would be a nasty surprise on a mana dork or something.

I always loved Homarid Spawning Bed with big. blue, buffed creatures.

I love this!! Not sure if crab-people fit the theme, but Homarid Spawning Bed could possibly provide some value in the face of removal. Feel free to check my Briny Deep deck for anything else you might enjoy (I’ve got a horseshoe in there!). +1 for sure!!!
