Hi there everyone! I got an idea a while back to make a gag deck based on Phage the Untouchable in EDH. The idea is to use a deck that's as fast as possible to bring her into play so you lose.
Gotta say, I don't think I'd be too happy shuffling up and then playing against this...
It's just a gag really. Something to pull out as a joke, act all serious about it, then Phage-icide, laugh, and put it away. I have another EDH deck...Rhys the Redeemed!
Some of the accelerants I've come up with are:
storage lands (Fallen Empires and Mercadian Masques)
the black depletion land from Mercadian Masques
Probably going to need some tutoring as well, e.g.
with which to search up stuff.
Anyone got any ideas?!?!?!?!
platinum angel
the few black counters that exist
torpor orb
etc.

No no no...I WANT to lose. As fast as possible. That's the joke!
You should still at least pack orb, so you can use those accelerants and get a phage on board as fast as possible and see if you can kill someone.
Or play the instant lose game, then when everyone starts another round, play to win. It's like hustling pool.
It was 99 swamps to start
then adding dark ritual, bubbling muck, gauntlet of power, cabal ritual, tutors, mana crypt, sol ring, mana vault, grim monolith, basalt monolith.
eventually, i turned it into a functioning deck, but those early games were fun. and it was troll-tastic to lend that deck to someone.

LOL love it! That's what I'm going for!
I did some research yesterday on accelerants available for the deck, and I found all these: (Copied from my trade thread, ignore the notes...)
