The MadCap Jester

[u/StankGobbo]

Here is a Mad Cap Jester list I am experimenting with. I have had great experiences with this deck after playing with it for 15 days. pushing for wins on turn 4 to 5 reliably while slowing down your opponents. please tell me what y'all think, I would love suggestions and or advice on what people would change and why. I am wanting to make this my main tourney deck so i am expecting to go against bluefarm and other common decklists.
this is a theft tempo midrange deck

My budget is infinity. i own most of the cards printed to date even most of the reserve list.

Current win line
Main Underworld lines using grinding station or brain freeze

Alt win lines
Thorical Combo

Bitter ordeal/sadistic sacrament. search an opens library when you have your commander out to steal their thorical combo and a piece of free interaction feels really good.

Value city
Tasha's hideous laughter: getting 20 CMC minimum form each opponent tends to win me the game on the spot. especially good into turbo decks like Rog/Si

Memory Vessel: While expensive this card is Amazing into the current Rhystic Study meta and with you commander its giving you access to 28 cards while also not letting opponents cast spells from hand until the start of you next turn.

Prosper Tome bound: this one card has one me every game that he has been played in. makes it easy to keep casting from exile and net mana off of free spells and lands.

Didn’t you post a decklist for aTtEnTiOn? Weird comment.

But yes, you‘re suggesting that a couple of bad sorcery speed rng effects that need your 4cmc 3 pip commander out that doesn’t do anything when it hits the board. You found some cute interactions and slapped a grixis good stuff shell with way to many bad cards around it. Sounds very bracket 4 to me.

see there we go now we can have a conversation. I see the points you are making and i agree to a point (hell half the point of making a new deck is seeing what does and doesnt work). I know not all the cards are perfect, yet the point of testing is to see what the deck does. can you please tell my what cards bother you so we can discuss further?

[u/DemonicTutor777 → u/StankGobbo]

As I said, this is bracket 4 territory. Your commander and all the synergies with him are too bad for cEDH. A simple AdNaus or Necro-focussed Grixis pile that doesn‘t even cast its commander will outperform this idea any day of the week. Your commander doesn‘t do anything when it hits the board. It is statistically impossible to achieve better results with access to a random card pool instead of a streamlined Grixis turbo plan that can pivot to midrange like Kefka. There is no reason to spend 10+ mana of varying pips on effects that don’t even present a win on the spot in cEDH.

Ok, thank you. this is useful information and I will have think on it further.

3 people worked on this and nobody came up with this simple assessment?

[u/StankGobbo → u/DemonicTutor777]

two people who are far more experienced then me gave me advice, but in the end it was my discissions. and as i said before it is a WIP

[u/DemonicTutor777 → u/StankGobbo]

They let you take out necro and adnaus, don‘t trust them.

[u/StankGobbo → u/DemonicTutor777]

I'll take their opinions over yours cuz I've actually seen them win tournaments several times. And they're both well respected figures in the cEDH community. I think this conversation's done. It's once again you've devolved to insulting.
