A "random" EDH Deck
Commander (EDH) forum
Posted on Feb. 17, 2014, 10:12 a.m. by ducttapedeckbox
Hey all, I've had this idea for a few days now and was wondering what you guys thought.
There are a lot of "random" cards out there, that is, cards that destroy/ping/discard something at random. I've been thinking about building an EDH deck around these cards, as well as ones that make you flip coins and such (i.e. Ral Zarek , Krark's Thumb , and Chance Encounter ). What does everyone think? This would solely be a casual multiplayer deck (unless it miraculously works).
I was thinking about Ruhan of the Fomori for a commander, but wasn't sure if America (RWU) or Grixis (BUR) would be best for color choices.
I'm off to class (yay Calc III) but will respond later today. Thanks!

I like running Zedruu because white gives me access to Norn's Annex , Ghostly Prison , Aurification , and Land Tax to help build a barrier to ensure I can last until I play cards like Scrambleverse , Warp World , and Thieves' Auction

Personally I love Possibility Storm , I use it in almost any deck of mine that runs red.

I hate Possibility Storm because I associate it with Curse of Exhaustion + Possibility Storm ...
Random decks have various annoying attributes but can be pretty funny in small doses. Make sure you use some unique card sleeves if you end up with your cards all over the place.
By the way, Pyxis of Pandemonium seemed pretty funny and doesn't appear on Epochalyptik's otherwise awesome list.

@ Epochalyptik -- For some reason it didn't occur to me that this deck would be classified as a Chaos deck... Your list will be a valuable resource to me. Are there any Grixis commanders that could fit in here? Although I'm liking the RUB as of now.
To the rest of you - Possibility Storm is definitely going into this deck, but am not sure if I'll be running Curse of Exhaustion . That doesn't really fit into my playgroup.
@ nobu_the_bard -- Pyxis of Pandemonium is another great add. I'd suggest it to Epoch to add to his list.

Gwendlyn Di Corci is probably the most random Grixis legendary. RUW is definitely better for running chaos.

Grixis aligns more with the stax approach than the chaos approach, but you can make either one work. The generals are much less useful, though, because they focus mostly on stax.

Zedruu the Greathearted also works as a general.
Look at my List of EDH Chaos Cards.
