Alright guys I'm curious. What deck do you have that when you pull it out and people just look at you like "really?"

Mine would be my unicorn deck. I mean come on who hasn't seen a squirrel deck? It's old news ladies and gents. Imagine how you would feel getting owned by a bunch of cute cuddly little unicorns?

Well actually they are bloodthirsty unicorns but what's the difference?




Edit* can a mod edit and fix my thread title? Such a pleb post

My strangest deck has to be the one where I give my opponent a Serra Avatar then cast Phthisis on it.

didn't see that while on mobile. Thanks!

and that is a nasty combo. Very cool

My druid tribal deck gets a lot of groans. I guess people don't like having all their lands stolen.



Seton + Glimpse/Gilt-Leaf is pretty strong with 17 1-drops.

My fog deck that wins with Sphinx-bone Wand. My friends always groan.

No specific deck, but whenever I bring one of my competitive modern decks to the table I always hear a bunch of groans

If you mean strangest, this one both pisses off my whole playgroup and results in a very strange win condition.



In the first game, your goal is to tutor and resolve Enter the Dungeon.
In the subgame, win fast with burn.
When you win, tutor for Enter the Dungeon/Noxious Revival + a burn spell. Then start another Subgame.
Win the subgame with burn.
When you win, tutor for more subgames and gas.
Play through many subgames.
If opponent hasn't quit after the 5th subgame, you'll have sculpted a monster hand in the main game and can probably win.

Now that is a worthy deck. I love it. Absolutely love it lol

I once had a deck that made my opponent discard my cards (Chain of Smog, Scandalmonger) with me taking advantage through Metrognome, Dodecapod, Sand Golem).

Had some really fun moments with it, but you can only do the trick once.

I built one of these after our GMaD! Stuck with 0 creatures, then just added lots of ramp and Constant Mists to burn 'em out fast. Not much slower than a good burn deck on average. Kinda funny, I'm pretty sure I was against Emerald Medallions in the GMaD, but ended up adding a couple in over the years.

Edit: While they're no longer in my current rotation. I was also inspired by this site to build mono-red and mono-black decks in which every card other than basic lands had a monosyllabic name. I think those merit mention here.

I love seeing these off the wall builds. I mean typical burn decks etc are cool but I like the homebrewed madness

I have a deck where I win by damaging my own creatures: Mogg Maniac or Spitemare + Inferno or Earthquake.

+ Boros Reckoner + Blasphemous Act. If multiplayer, add Chain Reaction.

Mine involves the cards Flash + Academy Rector which searches out Divine Intervention. And to speed things up I use Clockspinning to remove a counter. It never wins, but because of how quick the flash combo is, it rarely loses....

one word. Dwarves!

I love coin flip tricks.

I can't remember the exact decklist, but I used to play something like this on MWS under "Legacy Competitive" and drove people crazy when I actually won, eliciting many "u noob" remarks.



Turn 2 Krark's Thumb into Turn 3 Fiery Gambit winning 3 flips is the real deal.

Also Chance Encounter into Frenetic Efreet, then putting 1000 Efreet activations on the stack.

I may have also run Puppet's Verdict.

My buddy has a deck affectionately called "the ex wife" that hates it's pilot as much as the enemy. It's pretty funny actually I'll have to find a decklist
