Selesnya Nornsense
Historic BO1
24 Jul by FailureGuaranteedShdorsh
Good evening folks, Shdorsh here again with a very janky deck. I don't know why, but lately I've been kinda stuck on Selesnya. On another note, I've been harvesting coins to get Anthology 5, which I have to say is pretty good value for historic janks. It comes with the Phyrexian Praetors, that are f...
[Historic] Angelic Furries
Historic BO1
20 Jul by sinpyro
Note: All previous versions of this deck have been deleted from my deck lists to avoid confusion. I had to make a bunch of changes to the mana base and made quite a few significant card swaps. Disclaimer: This is a very janky deck. I do not recommend burning wildcards on building this if you are on ...
Zombie Groundhog Day
Historic BO1
18 Jul by RobinHood3000
It's been a long campaign, fighting your way through chamber after chamber of this dungeon. At last, you've amassed enough equipment and allies to take on the final boss and emerge victorious. Then, just as you've pocketed your reward, you find yourself at an inviting dungeon entrance...wait. Haven'...

Good evening folks, Shdorsh here from Failure Guaranteed. Guess what happened a few minutes ago... Forgotten Realms hit MTGA. Guess how we are going to party it... With a janky combo deck! Now this combo is nothing new to most of you, but with new cards come new ways to antagonize people more ...

Grixis Scarab God
Historic BO1
07 Jul by Mildeck
The Deck This has got to be my favorite historic deck I've ever made. The center of the deck is possibly my favorite card ever: The Scarab God. The Scarab God It's resistant to removal, has a big body, and the ability to ressurect creatures from the graveyard as 4/4s (called eternalizing) is incredi...
Untap dat ass
Historic BO1
02 Jul by FailureGuaranteedShdorsh
Good evening folks, Shdorsh from Failure Guaranteed in here with yet another stupid combo deck. You might have seen my "endless" runes deck, which isn't endless because you will run out of cards at one point. Or maybe the stupid idea that is Gruul Heads You're Dead, which has the strong potenti...
Endless Runes
Historic BO1
29 Jun by FailureGuaranteedShdorsh
5 Color Endless Runes Hey guys, it's been along time. You might have asked yourselves when I post some jank again, and rejoice! The time is right. Also, about what happened: Turned out 3 turns Azorius Hammertime wins get boring and make you want to quit the game. Anyway, today, we shall take a...
Cleanse
Historic BO1
22 Jun by ADudeNamedDave
Here's my unconventional mono white control deck using board wipes, pinpoint control, and wrath proof creatures as your win con. I wanted to create some rogue tech that could handle swarm decks, Elfageddon, trawlers, Ugin, artifact ramp, and rogues that could get around the inordinate amount of remo...
Planeswalker Destroy
Historic BO1
07 Jun by DisplaceGamer
The BestThis deck does its best work versus creature mid-range decks. Mono-White Life just gets destroyed. The WorstThis deck is not the best versus aggro decks where you are "on-draw". This is because the lowest cost removal is 2 CMC. This means you end up not being able to remove fast enough and m...
"Skred" Red
Historic BO1
29 May by Threadoflength
As the name implies this deck is based on the old modern deck "Skred Red" which was a mono red midrange deck that used a snow mana base to leverage Skred as a very efficient removal spell, which, along with a plethora of main deck hate cards, would bridge the gap to being able to close out a game wi...

Always Have a Backup Plan
Historic BO1
07 May by CaptainJamoke
Very easy gameplan. Make sure to have 2 mana open after combo triggers. Once combo triggers counter everything op does to threaten combo with pact of negation. Keep combo going. Choose your lethal: Thassa or Omnath. Use the emote, "Always have a back up plan while playing the deck," as people tend t...

Historic BO1
25 Apr by RobinHood3000
''The best thesis defense is a good thesis offense." -Randall Munroe, xkcd You've almost got your degree; all you have to do is impress Professor Iridescent Hornbeetle and you're good! You've done your literature review, you've reflected on the data you've gathered, and now you just gotta pick your ...
Infinite Mana / Draw / Damage
Historic BO1
18 Apr by godae
CONCEPT Once you get the 3 combo pieces to stick and your opponent does not have an instant speed answer to any of the cards then you win the game 100%. Either they concede from how long you're taking or you dig until you find Terror of the Peaks (while gaining mana the entire time) and do infinite ...
Azorius Warriors aka Hammertime
Historic BO1
17 Apr by FailureGuaranteedShdorsh
Good evening folks, Shdorsh here again. Today I decided to do a guild that I usually dread to play: Azorius. The only thing about this Azorius is that it doesn't follow the typical Azorius gameplay at all. No really. No annoying control, no annoying living card-by-card, 10 minutes of 500 IQ big...
Gruul Head's You're Dead
Historic BO1
16 Apr by FailureGuaranteedShdorsh
Gruul "Heads, you're dead!" Good evening folks, Shdorsh here again with an exceedingly janky deck. This time, I went extra far outside my comfort zone. So in order to deny the following accusations: All of Shdorsh's decks are ultra-cheap Shdorsh hates big creatures with a passion What flavor of dea...
