Have you ever had an idea for a deck that you thought would never work, or would just perform terribly but wanted to try it anyway? Well what was it? Did it surprise you with how well it ended up performing or did it fall flat like you expected?

The Landless Deck. When Extended first debuted, I came up with an idea for an Extended legal landless deck. I've been tinkering with it for years, though it is only legal in Type I these days, or maybe 1.5, not sure. It's kinda janky, but when it works it is a thing of beauty to watch.

I absolutely love coming up with decks that are horrible in a number of different ways. I usually never build them unless I already have all or most of the cards for them, though. I did just make a multiplayer red chaos deck that plays Grip of Chaos and Door to Nothingness , among other janky goodness like Worldfire and Warp World .

Been planning a dor ky deck for a while now and just haven't gotten around to it.

Ran a Splicer Closet deck that worked better than expected not too long ago.

I like the sound of that, how exactly do you get your mana for a deck like this or is it all 0 cost artifacts?

To rulesinquisitor - That sounds like my kind of deck! I love just causing mayhem in a game and that Worldfire card in particular sounds delicious!

landless dredge is a deck
I think it got butchered in Modern by the banlist, but it should work in Legacy/Vintage

My Landless Deck starts off with Lotus Petal or Elvish Spirit Guide into Eladamri's Vineyard or Magus of the Vineyard . From there, there are Evil Tempest Mana Elves , Talisman of Impulse or of Unity . From there I can Armageddon , Tectonic Break , Catastrophe , etc.

Hold on, I've got a video from a while back where I disassembled the thing.

Occassionally when catering, I've been put the task of arranging Fruit and Cheese or Grilled Vegetable platters.  More than once a high class buffet has started with the mark of Phyrexia upon it.  Since i've got a good eye for color so it looks great to people who don't get the "joke" (it's a niceley divided circle after all: the outline gives you 4-6 "regions" to work with), this has actually got me put on platter design more often, resulting in Phyrexia's presence at more private and industry events.

I love it! This sounds like a deck I would like playing as well, and I can see how it could go terribly, horribly wrong :D

Usually they're bad combo decks that I think have promise until, whadayaknow, they don't. Some of my favorites:

Skill Borrower + Kiki-Jiki, Mirror Breaker
(You would play Borrower, play Boggart Harbinger to put Kiki on top, make a million Borrower tokens, copy Harbinger, put Mogg Fanatic on top, and BOOM GOES THE DYNAMITE.)

Hokori, Dust Drinker prison
(A ton of artifact mana, Ghostly Prison , Mana Tithe , other taxing cards, and a mini Howling Mine + Clock of Omens engine. Actually wouldn't be that bad if Hokori weren't so fragile.)

Wait, this was for decks we wanted to try but never did? Who doesn't actually try their zanny ideas? BOoooooo to you!
