Muddle the Mixture Magic The Gathering Card

The goal of this deck is to steal your opponent's cards and ultimately use their strategy against them. It looks like a hodge-podge of random cards, but I selected each one to focus on that underlying goal. I use transmutable counterspells because they are multi-purpose and can fish out cards necessary for me to win the game. If I had the cards available, I would probably replace one Lingering Death and one Animate Dead with 2 Demonic Tutors. All in all, one of the best decks I have ever built and sure to make your opponents throw their cards at you in frustration.

Play cheap artifacts from your opening hand to get quick turn 1 mana, and use them to card-draw or tutor (1) Time Vault and (2) any card with an untap ability. If you're lucky and draw Black Lotus + Mana Vault + (Voltaic Key / Aphetto Alchemist), you've already won the game. A hand can easily get you 6 mana on turn 1, and the infinite-turn combo can be pulled off with just 4 total mana. This deck can win often on turn 1 and win consistently on turn 2.

What to say? Standard modular creature stuff... keep more than one modular creature in play at all times... don't be afraid to lose a few... build bigger creatures till you can smack your opponent back into the stone age. Failing that use you Dismantles to get your counters onto the Darksteel Reactor... or Arcbound Ravager together with doubling season to create a 200/200 creature or three... or use Tinker or Trash for Treasure to get Darksteel Colossus out for some 11/11 Trampling goodness or to put Mycosynth Golem into play so you can play everything else pretty much for free and just overwhelm your opponent with an army of modular madness. Get myrs out quickly to play early creatures and Tezzeret to untap them for two extra mana a turn. Tezzeret also serves as an improvised Tinker to get out your big/big beatsticks early and Hypergenesis to keep them out of your hand. Use Muddle the Mixtures to go searching for myrs or modular critters. Last but not least don't forget that doubling season doubles ALL counters... include the ones moved via the Modular mechanic, the one created by dismantal, the ones moved/converted by Energy Chamber, the ones that come into play on vivid lands, and even the loyalty counters for Tezzeret the Seeker. No matter how many times I play this deck I always learn something new about it that I never intentionally put in it. One of my definite favorites. To make it Extended legal just remove Tinker.
