Eggs (EDH / Commander)

An absolute rube goldberg machine for the aspiring sadomasochist.

Play to the behest of yourself and your friends, be weary that this deck is mentally taxing and irritating to watch as the final turn of your gameplan can take upwards of 30 minutes.

This deck is a personal brew, and it's still a work in progress. It can win early, but usually won't so there's a decent amount of interaction aimed at trying to stay alive through stax pieces and other combo decks. (Silence is an absolute mvp at stopping other combos, may consider orim's chant in the future)

Overview:

The deck functions like storm, aiming to amass a swath of value in a single turn and hopefully turn that into a win. This is accomplished a few ways.

The main ways are with kci+tralwer or, lotus bloom/led+second sunrise/Faith's reward/open the vaults (scrap mastery if you so choose to play it), mystic forge+trawler+led/petal, trawler+petal, trawler+mishra's bauble (sets you up to win the following turn). The final value piece is paradoxical outcome, can be cast at the end of your opponent's turn to gain a handful of cards and then hopefully you can win the game on your turn.

Tutoring:
Ever hear of black lotus? Yeah, it's the most broken Mana rock ever, and we get to play 2 approximations of it. 3 of the tutors in this deck can go and get lotus bloom and put it directly in play, incidentally they also get lion's eye diamond which is the other approximation of lotus we have.
It's usually better to get bloom first as there's less risk in using it, but usually unless you can win it's best to leave it in play for a turn. Exposing it can be rough, especially if other players understand the sheer power this card offers. LED is a fine get, but usually not worth cracking unless you can win, or have a scrap trawler. There's more than this to think about, but you get the idea. Tutors also can get kci, or whatever else you need to win. But if you have a transmute on turn 2 you can possibly win turn 3 off the back of bloom.

Cantripping into solipsism:
The deck has an average cmc of 2. Most hands are keepable, most hands draw cards very quickly. A lot of the eggs included in the deck don't need to die to draw cards, but most do. This creates nearly endless thinking wherein the other players at the table oft need to be ignored in order to understand whether or not you need to crack your eggs and start "cooking your omlette." The better you are at math, the better off you are playing this deck, but as a rule of thumb don't crack your eggs unless you can win (or have a 2nd sunrise/open the vaults etc), unless your behind, or unless you think you may die. Note if you keep being a solipsist the other players may just concede out of boredom, this is good, but not good for your relationships, don't play this deck if you struggle with anxiety, algebra, or the existential dread of forever being alone.

A special note on brainstorm: brainstorm is largely the most misunderstood cantrip by magic players at large. Even legacy players oft misvalue and miscast this card. I'd argue it's one of the worst cantrips one could play in edh, you're often better off playing ponder or preordain. The only thing worse is probably serum visions. I digress, brainstorm is in this deck specifically to put lotus bloom back if we draw it so we can cheat it into play later. Note it's always best to cash in your brainstorm often on your mainphase with a way to shuffle your library afterwards, unless you think you can win the game and need the Mana, then it's fine to cast it at an end step to set up your win on your turn.

Cantripping into oblivion:

There are a few ways to go infinite in this deck, and with the new addition of arcbound ravager probably more than what I'll list. I haven't tested with ravager yet so I can't yet speak to it.
