Deck Description

To be completely honest, I'm figuring out just how this deck works as I type this. I must also note that I only play casual Magic and my friends and I ignore the "legend rule." Mirror Gallery would be required otherwise.

Key Cards:
Sneak Attack, Kokusho, and Cauldron Dance.
Also Starring:
Minion Reflector - two mana for an extra 5 damage from Kokusho or an extra Equipment in play with Godo.
Deathrender - Sneak a Kokusho in, attach Deathrender to it, and put a creature from your hand into play at end of turn.
Spellbinder - Imprint Cauldron Dance and equip a creature. With a Kokusho in the grave and one in the hand, you'll deal 10 direct damage and gain 10 life. With Godo, you can do it twice.
Sanguine Bond - Double the damage Kokusho dishes out. Tasty.

Deck discussion for Cauldron Dance

Well this deck seems pretty nice. I don't know if you need Whispersilk Cloak however. I would suggest though 24 lands, another dark ritual and seething song. This deck is expensive to play. You need a lot of mana. Also, I understand, you play casually so you don't need Mirror Gallery. But, I play casually and I don't ignore a very basic rule. But whatever works for ya.

We decided the legend rule made games last a little longer and we just want to burn through games (we were in high school and had to be at school the next day usually). I think it's kind of silly now, but some of my friends have decks that only have legendary cards in them and they'll never go back, I'm afraid...

Whispersilk Cloak is mostly just to get whatever creature through that has Spellbinder on it, and then it's usually only Godo. The only reason I have three in here is to make sure I only have to rely on Godo to search for one or two Equipment cards. As for mana, this deck gains A LOT of life, so I can afford to take an extra turn or so to get going, espeically because we always play 3-5 player free for all. The Rituals/Rites are really just there to keep turn 3/4/5 from crowding so much.

Thats the sad truth to bending the rules in playgroups. Once its agreed upon, there's not looking back. Then one day, somone new joins the playgroup and is like wtf? And you guys laugh hysterically at him... saying its our way or the highway buck-o.

Thats how I pictured it in my head anyways.

Godo, Bandit Warlord is amazing when you ignore the legend rule btw. Great deck. How does it stack against their legends?

This deck rarely has more than one copy out with the exception of Minion Reflector, but I just wanted to point itout before someone made a comment along the lines of "too many legends."

Ususally, when someone joins our group it's someone who has never played Magic before. So we teach them our backwards rules, and then when they have the hang of them one or two of us will teach them the REAL rules. They usually say ours are more fun simply because it's WAY easier to play when you've been drinking for several hours.

Godo is amazing period. He's one of the staples of my Barbarian deck and, in probably 3 out of 5 games, the one I use to swing for 100+ damage per turn. Unfortunately, my friends' Legend decks are rediculous. They started playing around the time of Invasion, and I joined up right around Onslaught. We all know how powerful the guys I missed out on were. Gerrard, Sisay, Tsabo, and the like. Hell, one friend has a deck built around the Elder Dragon Legends. Theres probably $300 worth of cardboard in that thing.

I must point out that the person that taught us how to play Magic was a notorious cheater. He also introduced us to Warhammer 40k, an in both instances, he taught us rules that would let his armies/decks win almost every time. We don't play with him anymore, and we HAVE started to migrate back to the real rules (some of us, such as myself, far more quickly than others).
