Raging River

Enchantment

Whenever one or more creatures you control attack, each defending player divides all creatures without flying he or she controls into a "left" pile and a "right" pile. Then, for each attacking creature you control, choose "left" or "right." That creature can't be blocked this combat except by flying creatures and creatures in a pile with the chosen label.

@kamarupa I’ve settled on a worthy candidate. If I were to ask him to build around something (which I won’t because I don’t know him well enough to impose), I can think of no better card than Raging River. It’s as stupid and obtuse as Falling Star with a similar element of real world physicality, but it’s actually legal to play.

The same rules would have to apply though, to actually build around that as the locus card and actually play it (not circumvent it by simply building a discard deck or something like that and heaving it into the graveyard every time it shows up lol).

yeah nice one! It can even fetch for Tree of Tales and Vault of Whispers if needed. I've also added Raging River to enable better attacks

I pulled a few from manaless dredge because they can be confusing.
Narcomoeba -- This is a good one to watch for with the mill effects you have
Salvage Titan -- recurrence from graveyard, could easily be missed
Vengevine -- another classic recurrence from graveyard
Prized Amalgam -- could be easy to miss it leaving graveyard with these other graveyard creatures
Sword of the Meek -- ditto

Raging River -- confusing attack enchantment
Launch the Fleet -- strive targeting effect
Well of Knowledge -- conditional effect plus card draw
Night Soil -- this one exiles the two creatures as a cost, might be worth weirdness
Hoarder's Greed -- choice + draw cards
Vodalian Illusionist -- phasing
Shimmering Efreet -- more phasing
Chandra, Pyromaster -- I noticed you didn't add any planeswalkers, here's a random suggestion
Yawgmoth's Will -- more recurrence from graveyard
Balduvian Shaman -- turns a white enchantment to colorshift and add cumulative upkeep
Tombstone Stairwell -- creates creatures to aid in confusing rules
Panglacial Wurm -- classic judge's tower card, once you search a library you have to cast it
Hexdrinker -- slightly confusing level up ability plus possible "protection from everything" ability

Even Space Beleren is just Raging River+ and if it showed up in a standard set without the keyword and said piles rather than sectors nobody would care. (Is it really that difficult to keep your creatures in three piles?) Also 0 chance it sees any play in legacy anyways.

Aren't stickers basically just complicated ability counters? They stay on in the graveyard but Skullbriar already held counters across zones so it's not totally new. Attractions take an entire extra deck, why not complain about that?

Also people are shocked about Unfinity stretching the bounds of the game like wizards hasn't made Mutate, Companions, Night/Day, Cleave, or Dungeons in the past three years alone - each of which was radically beyond anything that had been done before...

Four new cards have been added:

A smoother mana curve and more intense combat options. The speeds of the deck is coming closer to what I am aiming for. Still I prefer to cut some chaff... but it gets harder and harder to bring upgrades.

Raging River may be one of my favorite magic cards, hands down. It also does serious work in an aggro deck. I run it in my Grenzo, Havoc Raiser deck to very good effect.

Yeah, the Dual Lands for sure. Frankly any reserved list card I consider out of my budget these days. I did pick up a few many years back, like Grim Monolith for my Jhoira's History Storm (Queen of the Void (Eldrazi EDH) at the time) and a Wheel of Fortune and Raging River for my General Beatdown deck (although wheel has since moved to Fireheart), but theyre not cards I can get anymore and I'll likely never own second copies. When it comes to non-reserved list cards, this deck really doesn't have budgetary concerns or considerations.
