    [Brainstorming]A deck without synergy...

    Have you ever felt that, "Oh this card (combo/single card) is so good, even on it's own, there's just no way to make a list of 60 that supports it", feeling? I know I sure have.

    How about throwing together random permutations of these cards, and trying them out? Basically making tons of good-stuff lists might actually net us a "better stuff" list.

    So let's get started, shall we?
    (note: cards w/o descriptions are those that have been "reserved" by the first person to request them on the list)

    The singletons

    // White
    Deftblade Elite
    Harm's Way
    Island Sanctuary
    Mana Tithe
    Oblation
    Perimeter Captain
    Sidewinder Sliver
    Survival Cache
    Timely Reinforcements
    Tithe
    // Red
    Control of the Court
    Custody Battle
    Firestorm
    Karplusan Wolverine
    Scent of Cinder
    Skred
    Tunnel Ignus
    Warmonger
    // Green
    Birthing Pod
    Durkwood Baloth
    Golgari Brownscale
    Mirri's Guile
    Omnath, Locus of Mana
    Three Visits
    // Blue
    Cerulean Wisps
    Chronozoa
    Glen Elendra Archmage
    Land Equilibrium
    Looter il-Kor
    Rhystic Study
    Rimewind Cryomancer
    Vision Charm
    Voidmage Husher
    // Black
    Maralen of the Mornsong
    Spinning Darkness
    Salvage Titan
    Soul Reap
    Spoils of the Vault
    Vendetta
    Vengeful Pharaoh
    Volrath's Dungeon
    // Hybrid & Multicolored
    Guided Passage
    Jagged Poppet
    Wood Sage
    // Colorless
    Lux Cannon
    Plague Boiler
    Sun Droplet
    // Lands

    Combinations
    This section has no color classifications because many combos span multiple colors.

    Urborg, Tomb of Yawgmoth + Spreading Algae
    Mishra's Bauble + Urza's Bauble + Disciple of the Vault
    Serum Powder + Chancellor of the Dross / Chancellor of the Forge / Chancellor of the Annex / Chancellor of the Tangle

    Loam Dweller / Rootrunner / Elder Pine of Jukai

    Remember, when adding cards to the list, please make sure that it isn't a card that supports an archetype. These cards and combos are based specifically on the idea that throwing together a list of good stuff that isn't good elsewhere can be feasible.

    This also doesn't mean that your deck list has to be entirely constructed from cards on that list. Of course if you have enough blue cards you'll run FoW. Ofc you can run the stuff you want in addition to the original flavor.

    Edit: Umm, excuse me? This isn't really intended to be casual or budget. Yes, some of the stuff is quite hokey but that's the idea. I'm not posting "my mill list 2011", and berserk stompy is still in established decks afaik. I explicitly mentioned that this was about not gimping your deck, but making a strong deck from a hodgepodge of randomly good cards.

    Well, using some of the white singletons, you can check the thread "Soldiers!".

    You have deftblade elite, (perimeter captain was an option, but finally dindīt include it) and tithe. And it has harm's way and mana tithe in the SB.

    I would include Kazandu blademaster on the list with cards so good.

    The idea is that you don't build the deck around an idea. Soldiers isn't what I'm going for, hence the high number of non-aggressive soldiers included.
