Chaos & Coin Flips
Games nobody can predict, including you.
Flip coins until your cyclops is lethal in one swing (partners with Zndrsplt for cards).
Your commander is scared of everything; your ETB triggers aren't.
Donate your worst permanents, draw cards, gain life, make friends (sort of).
Choose a number, flip that many coins, live with the consequences.
The house always wins: every die roll pays out chips and thopters.
Gift opponents your cursed junk and make them pay for the joke.
Group Hug & Politics
Everyone gets presents. You get the win.
The whole table draws and gains life until you decide otherwise.
A jellyfish that hands out counters, cards and treasure like candy.
Politely feed opponents cards while your bird-council grows lethal.
Group hug landfall: everyone plays lands, you play more.
Your commander lives in an opponent's army and drains them anyway.
Goad the whole table into brawling while you draw off every hit.
Force everyone to attack each other, profit off every death.
Nobody blocks, everybody swings, chaos reigns.
Lend your Transformer to every opponent; it always swings hardest.
Weird Tribal
Yes, that creature type has a deck.
Insects from every graveyard, including theirs.
A troll chef running the table's only Michelin-star kitchen.
Beautiful Jank
Engines nobody sees coming.
A frog, a land sacrifice, and suddenly you've drawn 30 cards.
End the turn at exactly the wrong (right) moment.
Your pump spells never leave; your card advantage never stops.
Your dead creatures come back as forests. It gets weird.
Every big dumb creature, discounted, hasty and drawing cards.
Irradiated moth turns everyone's milling into +1/+1 counters.
