Environment: SMALL tournament. Barely eight people. Decks are completely random, the same guy loans out decks to half the participants. So I thought it'd be a great opportunity to play a deck I really missed: Blue/Green Madness!
Apart from what's typical in a madness build, here are a few of my card choice explainations:
Intuition: If I do run up against big bad tarmogoyfs (there were exactly four at the last tournament I played in) I'd like if my guys were unblockable. Intuition grabs me wonder and deep analysis, whichever they hand me I'll likely discard to wild mongrel or aquameboa.
Circular Logic x1: Just an "oh shit" button for for the late game. I wouldn't want to lose to engineered explosives or something horrible like that.
Back to Basics: Sideboard because not everyone there has nonbasics... LoL. But a lot of decks have to auto-scoop when that card resolves so I found it a necessary include.
Chalice of the Void: This is against silly Tendrils combos and one-drop red decks. Zoo might get it, too.
I feel that the other cards are standard in the build, though madness has pretty much vanished in legacy thanks to tarmogoyf, hard to say there's a standard for it now a days. If you disagree with any of my card choices or know something I should play, please let me hear it.
I also considered splashing black and running Psychatogs instead of Aquameboa (lame that damage doesn't use the stack anymore) and Entombs instead of Intuition.
