So I've got this deck idea...

[Fonzy]

These two cards have been stuck in my brain as a deck centerpiece since Ravnica - Wee Dragonauts + Psychotic Fury. Obviously the deck would want to play a bunch of cantrippy things in one turn and smash somebody with a huge Dragonauts, but I'm having some trouble congealing the idea into an actual decklist.

For example, would it be worth playing green or black for Psychatog or Quirion Dryad? Tog seems like a better choice because he works well with cheap spells and accepts a Fury, whereas Dryad does not, but on the other hand, Dryad gets big and stays big.

Halp, teh Source.

EDIT- WTF @ tags?

tags are for code now. If you want to use autocard (which isn't fancy, btw), it's [c][a] or the full [card].

Oh I see.

Jesus christ I can't even post crappy deck ideas on a forum of mostly non-Magic players without having some faggot say this.

Too damn lazy.

Also sorry for shitting up your thread. We still cool?

Yeah.

[Naga]

Why Psychotic Haze, and not any other instant? They don't really have any synergy together.

[Shadow]

Hay Fonzy, is it funny if I make a shitty attempt at trolling you?

Haha.

Psychotic Fury is the card I meant.

[Naga]

Haha.

Psychotic Fury is the card I meant.

Oh.

I get it.

That's better.

[Tidal Kracker]

Haha yes I was trolling Fonzy. You've sure sussed out the truth here, Tex.

lol

'Tog works way better, in both a mechanical sense and a thematic sense. He gets Fury'd, and is conceptually 'stealthy' in that it can grow big out of nowhere quickly.

I mean, splashing Green for Berserk is tech, but isn't there a Red Berserk now anyway?

Also, Helm of Awakening or whatever else does that better now could be savage for playing the better cantrips like Impulse or Demonic Tutor or Yawg Will.

[Zerg]

While tog is obviously a better choice, dragonauts are more lulz.

[KaleiÐoscøpe]

What happened to the old "LAVA AXE IN UR FACE LULZ"

[Fonzy]

Play with Lava Dart. That's six damage.

Excellent call.

Too bad replicate doesn't count as spells played or I would suggest Pyromatics. God that card would be a ÷÷÷÷ing beating.

I was thinking about this, too, with something stupid like Gigadrowse to tap out blockers, but obv doesn't work. Retrace, however, seems like a decent alternative. Assuming I'm playing URb for Dragonauts + Tog, I'm definitely going to be playing Gush as well, so I'm thinking Gush, then double (maybe triple) Flame Jab would be pretty absurd. Let's see, Gush and 2 FJs would pump Dragonauts up +6/+0, plus 2 damage from the Jabs, + Psychotic Fury (Nauts become a 9/3 double-strike) = GG. That's not too bad, considering it can be done for 1RRR.

Hell, it wouldn't even be that crazy to run Pact of Negation to protect your guy.

No, it wouldn't. It would also be techy to counter your own spell (something dumb that won't matter anyhow) just to pump the Nauts.

Fling seems kind of like a no brainer.

Troof.

Merchant Scroll -----> cantrips isn't awful either, especially if you're getting something with Flashback like Think Twice. Hell, Quiet Speculation seems insane for that reason.

I don't know these are just ideas of the top of my head they might all be really bad.

Honestly this deck should build itself though. Just play an UR control shell and play with counters and Firespouts and then just drop a Dragonauts to win.

Thanks for the ideas. I think I'm headed in the right direction now.

[mrs_bun]

Also try the "free" spells that you have to pay for next turn or lose the game. I always liked those with dryad.

[Regret]

I made a UBR deck with psychatog, psycho fury and dragonauts back when that was all extended legal. It could win turn 2 with dragonauts. Quiet speculation + lava dart was a cool thing to do and there was other flashback stuff. I'll see if I can find a decklist.

[bun_bot]

I love that too.

[Zindaras]

Flashback and Retrace are probably really good in this deck. Flame Jab is awesome, maybe Oona's Grace as well. Infiltrate is also a reasonable card if you want to make sure your guy connects. But, considering the fact that you'll be using a lot of burn, most blockers should be dead anyway, and Fling is a better option.

[Magic Stagstation]

The problem is removal. They remove your wincon, and you have an issue. Most of these "cantrippy" spells will have to be replaced by burn, and burn with card draw attached is not common...

[Zindaras]

He can play Pact of Negation as counterspell. Other options would be Daze or maybe even Commandeer.

[Magic Stagstation]

Or FoW. :V Unless I missed that this deck is for extended.

[Purple_Shrimp]

I've got a deck like this, it's not very good but it's extremely fun. I'll post a decklist if you like.

I'm kinda interested.

[Tony3]

brainstorm, twiddle(budgety), lightningbolt(for chumps), etc. are in color.

green has beserk, and various pump. like giantgrowth is 5 damage for g.

[MR BUNN]

I found this from my old computer. This was for extended and was made a year and a half ago and I don't remember what I was thinking for the most part, I guess it had something to do with the meta at the time.
