Not sure if they're worth bothering with due to their slowness, but you can get a ton of damage out of Arc Mage and Inferno Titan if you're adding 2 to each ping for 1. Electrickery is pretty good value with your Commander in metas where people run smaller creatures, not sure how common that is, Electrickery also removes bigger stuff if you've got Deathtouch. For Arc and Electrickery I would replace a variation of Prodigal Sorcerer, and for the Titan I would think about switching out the Frostwielder. Inferno Titan is a crazy card with your Commander, 9 extra damage whenever you swing is pretty silly for one card and your Commander.

It's also slow and clunky (and you can't cast it atm), but Endbringer's ability to untap itself is pretty sick even if you don't have much colourless, the ability to ping on each turn is not nothing. This would be a card to look at if you decide to run a bunch of utility lands that make colourless, a good first one to consider that makes colourless is Shivan Gorge, which can ping each opponent. Tower of the Magistrate can do weird things, you can target an opponent's creature too fwiw, removing equipment and messing with targeted effects. There is also the odd dual that can make colourless you could sneak in, Shivan Reef or Cascade Bluffs are good examples that enter untapped. There are also some good colourless mana rocks, Talisman of Creativity or Mind Stone or Thought Vessel, but I do appreciate that your deck is designed atm to play low MV spells (which don't need ramp as much), but ramp can be very good. The lands and ramp you could probably remove basics for, though I wouldn't lower your land count very much, I feel like 36 is a bit high for a deck with an average MV well under 3 but hardly absurd for a deck without much ramp. I'm still a bit blown away that I actually suggested Shivan Gorge. If you decide to run a bunch of colourless stuff, I could probably figure out something to pull for Endbringer.

Love this deck idea, hope some of ithese were helpful!

This is a good theme. Some other burn cards are Shock, Volcanic Fallout, Electrickery, Lightning Strike, and Seismic Wave. All of these are less than 30 cents.

Increasing damage dealt by these is more expensive, but some of the cheaper cards are Dictate of the Twin Gods and Torbran, Thane of Red Fell.

Hope these help and I hope you enjoy making more decks.

I'm also trying to make a deck of that kind, and I have some ideas for the sideboard :

I don't see many cards that you would absolutely want to side out, except your 10 instants against bogles, so your sideboard should have creature destructions that handle hexproof : lightning bolt and dark withering can be swapped for more diabolic edicts/chainer's edicts, Fleshbag Marauder can integrate your toolbox and Crypt rats too. I prefer Electrickery to Nausea as it can be played at instant speed.

Tortured Existence lets you play some maindeck toolbox too and have one of some cards that can be maindecked in madness too : 1 Gurmag Angler for instance, 1 Insolent Neonate is not a toolbox card, but can still be maindecked and give more options

2021 saw MH2 give 5 new madness cards, namely Kitchen Imp and VOW introduced blood tokens as a new way to discard, 14 card in the right colors, but only Voldaren Epicure caught my attention, Blood Fountain has its uses but is too slow here.

Also, keep in mind that you cant target nimble mongoose with your muscle burst effects.

Vines of Vastwood > Rangers Guile IMO.

Electrickery = Sideboard

Neotrup on Chalice of the void vs …

There isn't really a difference. Chalice of the Void with 1 counter will trigger to counter Electrickery whether it's overloaded or not. A spell's mana value is determined by the cost written in the upper right hand corner (including X), not by the amount of mana actually spent (except in determining the value of X).

But why? If it says cast it for it’s dash cost? What is the difference between this and casting an overloaded Electrickery ?

MagicMarc I'm afraid Electrickery isn't as broken with Dismiss into Dream as you believe, the Overload reminder text literally says you replace "target" with "each". That means an Overloaded spell doesn't target anymore, and won't destroy all illusions you don't control. Which makes sense, hexproof won't save your commander from an Overloaded Cyclonic Rift either, if Overload would mean to "target every possible target" instead of "replace 'target' with 'each'", hexproof would protect from it.

Electrickery is great with Pestilent Spirit though.

Electrickery is probably one of the best cards you can play from hand to take advantage of Dismiss into Dream . It's overload would target every opponent's creatures.

You can also use Cowardice for a lower cost card than Dismiss into Dream .
