lawls at the fail. and i would like to point out that you dont need an infinite mana combo. just omnath and 4 doubling cubes, 4 voltaic keys, 4 caged suns, 4 mana flares and a vorinclex. only use green mana, caged sun says green. each land taps for 10. if you have 14 land, you put 140 land into omnath. then tap a doubling cub and turn that into 280. then, tapping all 4 doubling cubes per turn, in 4 turns you can cast it. XD
or simply be a dick and add black so you can rite of replicate on an obliterator , xenograft so the obliterator(S) are golems, and then when he goes to spell in some direct damage, you redirect it to a precurser to make them sac every permanent they have and ever will have in equivalency.
play a xenograft naming goblins then fling a precurser XD just for more shinanigan funs. cuz the last thing you wanna do is attack with x golems to have them be fogged or something rediculous. i will say cudos to the nuts combo but i have a deck with an answer already. infinite mana combo, COP artifacts. ( the deck has all 6 cops in it so at some point it no longer matters what the deck does unless you make that many eldrazi spawns and play an intangible virtue to give them +1/+1 and vigilance, which is totally possible.) and another fun idea, add 4 gutter grimes and then just kill off one of your non-token creatures. you'll get that many slime tokens + that many mines parallel lives in counters on gutter grimes. so you will have x tokens with yx4 power/toughness. XD love the shinnanigans decks.
I've seen rafiq decks epic pwn without ever even playing rafiq. it depends on the deck build. keep in mind you have 99 cards to work with, and if your like me and run a 2-1 ratio with land you have 66 cards to use for kill and support.running low cast cost with everything having exhalted rafiq kind of gets redundant. especially if you run a finest hour and manage to get it early. its more or less game there without rafiq.
in EDH deck building can be tough if your new, but once you play it for a while, new and interesting ideas will come to mind. for example, I am running 9 EDH decks right now. i have 5 mono colored, one for each of the preators, a 5 colored dragon deck using Scion, the Ur Dragon. a "wrath" deck using Child of alara for a general(also 5 colors), and an Angel deck using Kaalia of the Vast. those decks i built based on the general. my 9th deck is a deck that the general was picked to suit the deck. its a 5 colored deck using progenitus as a general, but in all honesty progenitus being played is a last resort win con. the point of the deck is to get Uril the mist stalker (who i used as a general before but wanted access to black and blue) and then put as many enchantment - aura's on him as i can. there are 30 in the deck specificly for him. it also runs kor spiritdancers, which are uril without hexproof. so really it all depends on what you want to do. if you want a fast deck, uril or scion are good speed generals (when i used uril as a general he won a few games on turn 6) and if you want fun decks well just look up legendary creatures and see what suits your needs.
