So this deck is a favourite to borrow among my friends. Whenever I bring this deck, they love to borrow it and play with it. Just because it's so politically correct. Vial Smasher deals damage at random and hates everyone equally, and that's what the deck is built around.

The whole concept of the deck is to play cards that have high converted mana cost, but you pay a lot less for like Dig Through Time or Ghalta, Primal Hunger. And then we gang up on the Vial Smasher triggers, with Helm of the Host, or Sakashima the Impostor, or Strionic Resonator.

If that plan fails because you can't keep Vial Smasher in play we have a few eldrazis for backup.

Early game I go for ramping and card advantage with Thrasios, and transition into Vial Smasher once I got the mana to do shenanigans.

It's a pretty slow deck as my meta is not very combo heavy, but it usually ramps quite fast, and only need 4 mana to function because of Thrasios' ability.

The best card in the deck is probably Mind's Dilation since every time an opponent cast their first spell, I cast their top card, triggering Vial Smasher for free. A very very close second place is Bonfire of the Damned. I have killed so many people with this spell. If you miracle it, and pay RX on say...X being 15, which is not farfetched given urborg + coffers. It has converted manacost of 31 when triggering Vial Smasher.

Also, giving Vial Smasher life link makes you essentially unbeatable other than commander damage death.

My mana base is bad.. I have too many EDH decks :( If you want to copy my list, fix the mana!
