legendofa on Fun cards make fun decks

I would start by looking for cards with "any player may [...]"-type effects like Endbringer's Revel, Well of Knowledge, or Tidal Barracuda. One thing to keep in mind is that active games are usually considered more fun than static games. If the people you play with like Standstill effects, then absolutely put it in. But I would lean more into the group hug idea and focus on keeping the game moving.

Or if you're looking for cards that set up mini games and mind games, something like Master of Predicaments, Reverse the Sands, or clash cards could fit in.

I think there's a type of card that in multiplayer make decks more fun as they make for social situations cards like goad efects Chain of Vapor, Goblin Game and Standstill make funny situations, I'm building an esper control deck with chromium and I think would be fun to put more cards like that into the deck (not in the chaos way) someone have any sugestions of cards that I can put in that deck or want to put fun cards in your own decks? The idea here is to build a list of fun cards that make fun situations

Love it. Not really a suggestion, but a fun card I like to play in decks that are unique is Standstill. Fun politics card sometimes!

I wish I could help you, but,

I just want to blurt out that Standstill triggering with a Consecrated Sphinx in play is bananas.

I was thinking about building a commander deck around cards like Standstill, Planar Chaos, or Grave Peril. The theory is that it’s more advantageous to wait for another opponent to break it then to play into it and break it themselves. I figure this would open up night based cards because of the reluctance to play cards. Does anybody know any cards like the ones previously mentioned, or have any ideas for a commander for that deck?

Surprised you're not running Folio of Fancies here? Not sure if Geier Reach Sanitarium is worth it (it's technically 3 mana to discount your mana by 3, but that is for each spell fwiw), but if you can double/triple spell after that's pretty useful. If you include Folio, you might want to throw in some X mana spells, Curse of the Swine is budget, as is Mass Manipulation, though Mass requires 4 Blue, which can't be discounted. Cut a Deal seems good, you get cards and the spell can be discounted to only W. Love Song of Night and Day is a good way to get cards/discount, the other abilities are kinda meh, but it's great if it only costs W to cast. If you don't intend to keep it around you could try Tenuous Truce, you can play it for W on any opponent's turn (after their attacking is done for turn) to get the discount, it's also situationally handy if you want to ally with someone. I think my final one is Your Temple is Under Attack, this is even modal and can be discounted to cost W, both modes can be very useful. These card draw spells also make your deck more consistent.

It's over your budget, but Standstill seems like hilarious maybe? Either you get 3 cards and -6 on your spells, or a whopping -9 to casts if opponents draw.

I love Mass Diminish if you can net a discount on it, you can also use it as an Instant, which is busted beyond words IMHO, it's the only limitation on one of the best at what it does. I can't believe they made it last until your next turn, so you get less 'value' if you play it on an opponent's turn, but any other opponents going before you still have a sitting duck to swing at. Another Sorcery that looks a lot better as an Instant is Single Combat, if you keep your Commander you can cast on your opponent's turn, so there will be a turn cycle where nobody can do much with creatures. I think Tragic Arrogance is pretty solid as well, even without Flash it's devastating, but with it I think it's quite scary, I think it's much better than Aetherize for example. Finally, Promise of Loyalty is neat, you won't be getting swung at for awhile by what's left, and it gets a big discount potentially. While it'd sometimes be a dead effect, Visions of Duplicity seems made for your Commander, it's very easy to make that UUU to create quite a bit of chaos, and at Instant speed.

I love the minotaur tribe but.... to do it justice in legacy and be competitive it needs to go harder.

A few ideas I had previously simular to what was said before but i haven't been happy with a list.

Heartless Summoning power out creatures and kraguma warcaller

Cloudstone Curio combo with the minotaurs/ shapeshifters that are free with Ragemonger for infinite etb with Impact Tremors

A tempo deck with clone effects and counterspells adding blue 2 Kragma Warcallers will win a game quickly

Standstill plus Didgeridoo make good friends. Good version of the deck has been run by Boshandroll on youtube.
