I was browsing through the Unglued / Unhinged cardsets to see if anything looked like fun to build around, and came across Name Dropping. At first I was thinking to combine it with the various Gotcha! cards and make a sort of Unhinged theme deck...
And then a more sinister idea came to me.
Why not include all the cards that happen to have common words in the card name? Then, my buddy can just be talking about how his girlfriend wants him TO go to a wedding, and I go "Gotcha!" I'll take that Swords to Plowshares back! Or my other friend says, "Can you guys hold on a sec, I have to go to THE bathroom." I say "Gotcha!" Gimme that Into the North ramp spell back.
You get the picture.
There are a lot of great cards that fit into this category - I can basically run any number of fantastic finishers, such as Angel OF Serenity or Flayer OF THE Hatebound.
I would love to have a crazy amount of input here - I want this to be as annoying and good as possible.
Obviously I'm willing to include whatever cards would be fun - my only requirement is that they include some word or other that would be very annoying to avoid in regular conversation!
Well since you're going Unhinged you might as well add Who/What/When/Where/Why to cover a number of bases.
"The" is going to be your go to word. It's easily the most commonly used verbal word that appears in a mass numbers of cards (500+). Finding the best among all those is going to be some work, lol.
Tried to think of other commonly used words when playing magic but didn't find any decent cards among the words that came to mind (stack, attack, block, turn, power, toughness, response, combat, life, step, phase ect).
Please give me some feedback on where I should take the deck from here - I think as of now it is a little too early game focused, and will struggle closing matches out.
Ugh. Just played a game with the deck - it did not go as I hoped. People just clammed up and we didn't have any fun. I tricked someone into talking about something, and then everyone got pissed when I Gotcha'ed my graveyard. Deck is retired.
