I was browsing my Cockatrice deck folder for something to bust out for fun in a game with friends when I stumbled upon this. A work in progress list from quite some time ago, with the objective being to be as much of a nuisance as possible - shut off as much stuff as grotesque red/artifact cards let you, and make other stuff hurt as much as grotesque red/artifact cards let you, all whilst making yourself a little harder to kill through a splash of pillow fort. Does this deck win? Just about never, but it's not supposed to. It's supposed to be a massive pain in the ass for all parties involved.
This still has a long way to go. If I manage to get it smooth enough for my liking, I may just reconstruct my Purphoros, God of the Forge into this, as I haven't had much fun with him for months now and there's something oddly refreshing about sitting down to a game with a deck that is devoid of wincons.
So, this is where you step in. See any cool grotesque hate card I'm missing? Have any idea how to make this feel better when I play it? Let me know! This list's still pretty early days, so it's quite possible I'm missing some really obvious stuff.
