DreadKhan on GROUP HUG FOR THE BLOOD GOD

I like this deck idea, so I've been looking it over and seeing if I can think of any ideas that are interesting! Here are a few, hopefully some of them will make sense as includes, apologies if none do!

Rite of the Raging Storm is a nice way to create chaos and get the weakest opponent dead sooner rather than later; in fact, any opponent that can't soak up 5 trample damage is in a lot of trouble. Similarly maybe Slicer, Hired Muscle  ^Flip and/or Alexios, Deimos of Kosmos in the 99 to get damage in? Any of these works well with Meekstone afaik, other than Slicer when you're down to 1v1 (but he's in the 99 here, so it's not as bad as when he's Commander and the main creature). Maddening Hex also speeds things up, as long as people aren't all on creatures!

If you're looking for another useful equipment I rather like either Embercleave or Two-Handed Axe. Scavenged Brawler isn't an equipment, but it's a very good effect I've found, that's a PILE of keywords. It's also really good if you use it on your Brash Taunter!

I have had very good results from Humble Defector in relevant decks. I also wondered about Starke of Rath, but I worried people would just use him to kill your Commander, so it seemed like a non-bo, then I figured you could always hold the other up while one is out, use Starke like a back up Commander of sorts. Goblin Welder can target anyone's stuff, meaning you can not only get back your own key card in exchange for an artifact token, you can also make an opponent trade their combo piece for their worst artifact. Dwarven Miner and Dwarven Blastminer are pretty fun cards IMHO, it's pretty funny when someone is getting out of hand and you just start taking away colours from their mana base (and if someone steals one they can't do anything to you!), and maybe Volcanic Offering. Another removal effect that can create a lot of chaos is Jaya Ballard, Task Mage, especially if anyone has a Blue Commander you don't like (or uses Blue permanents to wreck your day), fwiw the wipe is friendly to your Commander, as is the ping, that seems maybe relevant?

OOOH! I just had the most Chaos Gremlin idea ever for this deck, have you ever thought about Nemesis Mask? Maybe people will deck themselves!

Hope this deck is as much fun to play as it was to get in the headspace of!

You might benefit more from untap effects, as the vehicles are not creatures at that point. I think something like Smoke or Meekstone may be more what you’re thinking of..? Speaking of untapping, as I usually forget about mentioning it, I think Paralyze offers you the opportunity to untap something when it isn’t going to otherwise. It’s expensive (four) and can only happen in your upkeep (not untap phase) but I have been meaning to mention it for over a year. I hope this makes sense, I haven’t had any coffee at this point.

I'm kind of fond of Rhys the Redeemed. Green gives you access to card draw and mana accel, so you can keep playing more copies of Hare Apparent every turn. Rhys also can double your tokens on his own. All this extra card draw will also help you get to the Thrumming Stone (or to an artifact tutor). Finally, this gives you access to Parallel Lives, for another token doubler if you need it.

You must make a decision, as with all token decks. Do you want to anthem and Cathars' Crusade your bunnies to be huge? Or do you want to use Meekstone and Dusk / Dawn to mess with your opponents while not hurting yourself at all?

I can see not counting stax like Meekstone atm, but 'mass land denial' is probably supposed to include fun stuff like Stasis and Static Orb (also Winter Orb and Rising Waters, maybe Mana Web, but I don't know about stuff like Choke atm, or Omen of Fire). I've heard 'affects 4 or more lands' as the gold standard, hence me not being certain if 'targeted' land hate (vs a single colour's Basics) should count.

Apologies (and thanks) if you're already working on it!

What you're looking for is a Stax deck. Basically it uses cards to disable conventional paths to victory (I'm fond of Winter Orb and Meekstone in this way.) while using things like Black Vise or Zulaport Cutthroat to slowly chip away at an opponent's life total.

Stax decks come in all colors, since a lot of the pieces are artifacts, but you're usually looking for {W} or {U} for the lockdown effects, {B} for forced sac effects, and possibly {R} for direct damage or {G} to make sure the controllish aspects of the deck don't apply to you.

SufferFromEDHD's suggestion is so unique, I haven't seen that card before. Then again, I don't play white. Definitely worth considering given you're gonna get some hate for sure.

Piggybacking off of his idea, Meekstone as you only have like 6 creatures affected by it. Although, Eleshnorn changes that

Ohh dangg Meekstone, Necropolis, and Rammas Echor, Ancient Shield are all Flippin insanely good with Arcades! I also made an Arcades EDH deck recently and defs adding those, thanks mane. I took a very different direction with mine so not sure if it's much help for you, but feel free to check it out if you're looking for some fresh ideas. Defense of the Ancients (DotA) - still adding the dual lands so nvm that

Stax is the most outrageous villian and azorius (Blue/White) loves stax.

Grand Arbiter Augustin IV or Lavinia, Azorius Renegade with effects like Mana Vortex, Winter Orb, Rest in Peace, Peacekeeper, Meekstone, and Armageddon will keep everyone begging for resources.

Or you could play Urza, Lord High Artificer and be the only one not affected by Static Orb.
