Deck Description

Fun deck to play in social FNM events.

How to Play

Use unexpected results to try and bring into play big threat creatures, planeswalkers, omniscience or primal surge. At worst it helps ramp by placing extra lands on the field.

Fog bank and vampire nighthawk are used to slow down early damage. Farseek, Gilded Lotus and chromatic lantern to help fix mana problems.

Please suggest any other cards that may fit into this deck

Deck discussion for Expect the Unexpected

ok so i really like it and am thinking of trying it out at the next fmn if thats ok but i would lower the number of instants and sorcerys in the deck to max out on the effectiveness of primal surge also im thinking that the splash of white might be unnecessary.

Originally this deck was Black/Green/Blue. During some testing this deck struggled against agro boros/gruul type decks. I found that the deck needed ways to get rid of a lot of creatures quickly. Cyclonic rift and terminus (Planar cleansing and Supreme Verdict) were possible solutions. I agree that it would be good to reduce the colours to three and also reduce the sorcerys to help use primal surge. The only other way I can think to stop agro decks is more small creatures/defenders to use as blocker but then you are likely to draw these creature with unexpected results. I will keep trying a few other combinations and see what happens. Thanks for the feedback.

Other large creatures that I have thought might substitute well for Griselbrand or Necropolis Regent are Drogskol Reaver, Worldspine Wurm, Elderscale Wurm and Lord of The Void. I will be trying one Elderscale Wurm instead of one Griselbrand in my next test.

I have gone and viewed your deck and I do like the inclusion of Restoration angel to go with Thragtusk.

NOBODY EXPECTS THE SPANISH INQUISITION!

No but seriously, nice unexpected results deck. I don't have much input on changing it, though. I'd have no idea how to improve.
+1 from me

I am currently trying a slightly different version and will play it in FNM this week. I have inserted two temple gardens removing two woodland cemetries, put the two terminus in the sideboard and dropped one Griselbrand. I replaced the Griselbrand and terminus with two Amarda Wurms and a Worldspine Wurm. Therefore more creatures less spells for Primal Surge and no double ups on Lengendary Creatures. The Terminus will come back in when up against aggro decks. I'll let everyone know how the deck performs.
