I think that's the list. I could be forgetting a couple cards, which would reduce the number of Islands. Also, I know there are some questionable choices in the deck, and there are some hot cards I'm not playing. Still, as anyone in Syracuse can attest, this deck is bonkers. It's far more stable than Bryant's Tendrils combo deck, because of the redic draw engine General. She's absurd, for reals. Your dudes all do cool things, aside from tapping to draw cards, which is why they've been chosen over other, cheaper guys. It rarely matters though, as your mana reducers and accel are overpowered as hell.

Dont ever bring this to a multiplayer game, or you will have every other opponent raping your ass before your know it.

Yeah, I know. I usually only get one game before I become the target. Fortunately, I have a few other EDH decks together, but this one is my baby.

There's no proof of this. My deck can answer hate easier, whenever we play you rely on me to deal with threats.

Re: Nightmare's Broken-Ass EDH deck
So, if you guys can believe it, my deck got more bonkers.
I found two gems I'd like to let you know about, which take the level of broken to a whole new level.
Inspired Sprite, and Merrow Levitator.
Soak that in for a bit, then come back.

Damn. Congrats on making this card actually useful for something.
EDIT: Something Magical, that is. I'm sure it's useful to wipe your ass with if you've got a stack of them and nothing else to use.
EDIT 2: No Tezzeret?
Re: Nightmare's Broken-Ass EDH deck
I found that Skill Borrower was kinda nutty.
Re: Nightmare's Broken-Ass EDH deck
Tezzeret is in the deck. I've got to update the list still, when the deck is in front of me.
Re: Nightmare's Broken-Ass EDH deck
Someone was looking for updated lists for this. It's now listed out with some discussion on the new blog, located Here. Check it out, and leave comments here or there.
Re: Nightmare's Broken-Ass EDH deck
I play a similiar deck. It is UWB with Sharuum as the general.
It runs much more mana artifacts + 3-Sphere + Winter Orb- and Armageddon-effects. And it plays a same kind of combo. Memory Jar, Timespiral, Academy etc.
It makes fun but unfortunatelly not for your opponent. I can switch all those powerfull cards for funny stuff to play multiplayer. For example Sun Droplet, Silent Arbiter + Maze of Ith, Phyrexian Processor...

I would add Mishras Workshop and Mana Drain, if they where affordable.
Re: Nightmare's Broken-Ass EDH deck
That deck really isn't that much like my deck at all. It gets to run other colors. I would also never want Armageddon to resolve. It would kick my ass.
Re: Nightmare's Broken-Ass EDH deck
Is it just me, or has EDH gone from a fun casual format to "look how much money I can spend on a 'casual' deck!"?
Re: Nightmare's Broken-Ass EDH deck
I'm not gonna lie, my deck is pimp as fuck, but it's also chocked full of Collector's Edition cards, too. And proxied Timetwisters and Candelabras. And Gold Bordered Chrome Moxen.
On the other hand, my Goblin deck (Wort, Boggart Auntie) is pretty budget.
Re: Nightmare's Broken-Ass EDH deck
But if you want the deck to be even halfway decent, it's gotta be loaded up with expensive, oldschool artifact mana accel. It just seems to have lost the spirit, ya know?
Re: Nightmare's Broken-Ass EDH deck
In a word, no. Even in my Gobs deck I run Crypt, Vault, Sol Ring, and Petal, but I'd say they're pretty fair, since the broken plays are like, turn 1 Wort.
Re: Nightmare's Broken-Ass EDH deck
Care to post your Wort list somewhere Nightmare?
Re: Nightmare's Broken-Ass EDH deck
I finally managed to build the deck. For a first try I resembled the list you posted in your blog, only replacing the now-banned Tinker with a Relearn.
I am still learning the deck, but until now I can attest that this in fact is a broken pile of cards. Azami alone is amazing, and drawing multiple cards per turn from tapping stuff like Cursecatcher or Voidmage Prodigy is insane.
High Tide is one of my MVPs at the moment and another reason why I really like the addition of Relearn. Candelabra is another MVP, and becomes broken with Filigree Sages, not to mention the instances where Academy, Gauntlet of Power or High Tide are also in the mix.
Playing the deck is insanly fun, but also quiet complicated. In addition to this I always feel sorry for my opponents once the deck gets rolling.
Re: Nightmare's Broken-Ass EDH deck
Have you considered turning Azami into Arcanis, the Omnipotent? For one mana, you gain 2 power, 3 toughness, an escape mechanism (although I don't know what that's worth in this format, but I've certainly been known to pay +12 mana for my general before), he can tap for three cards by himself (and thus allow massive pemmin's aura shenanigans) and you can shed your dependency on wizards. On the other hand, I bet Azami draws you MANY more cards if the situations are right, and I don't know that changing the wizards in your decks would gain you that much more raw power. But I figured it was worth pointing out.
Re: Nightmare's Broken-Ass EDH deck
What you're missing is that the general doesn't get played in this deck until the turn you win, at least that's how I play it. I have a list similar but way shittier (I'm missing a fair number the more powerful cards) and I have yet to lose with that list. Not that I play EDH very much.
Basically, my games tend to go as follows. Look innocuous until you can assemble a combo. Use the combo. Win with all sorts of counter backup because you're practically playing with your whole deck in your hand at this point. And I'm probably playing with only half the combos that Nightmare's version has.
