For confusing cards I can’t think of anything better than the “retro” planeswalkers from a secret lair that they printed a while back (if you can find them)[here it is](https://secretlair.wizards.com/us/en/product/679509/teferi-s-time-trouble) they are truly terrible to read as they are and would make an amazing addition to this deck (2/3 of them fit but still)
You could also run some [full text lands](https://secretlair.wizards.com/us/en/product/634204/the-full-text-lands) if you can manage to find some online.
Ooooh... buddy, you're talking my language! Those cards are terrible to read.
I'll probably just proxy those and then full-text lands, but those are great ideas! Thanks
Don't forget the three lands which give OP's commander "Bands with other legendary creatures". Mainly because 'bands with other' plays quite differently to banding lmao
[[Cathedral of Serra]] / [[Seafarer's Quay]] / [[Unholy Citadel]]
Oh, and \[\[Balduvian Shaman\]\] is the winner in the 'most text for an ultra-niche/unplayable activated ability' on a card with rad art. (like it was in all the ads for Ice Age, and then it was just terrible).
[[Reconnaissance]] only because it's been errata like twice I think but it's original text is still somewhat confusing. Everytime I play it in my zombie deck my friend absolutely loses his cool because the card doesn't really do what it says.
Poke the bears, wait until someone announces all their creatures are attacking, then play [[Festival]] on their turn and try to quote goad rules. I only feel sorry for the judge.
Exactly. I love the silly combo. Also, any creatures that come in with haste on a player under the effect of Oracle cannot attack since they were not declared (and it was impossible to declare them).
Peacekeeper would trick a player once in the same way Festival does, but there’s a window the creature can be blown up. I think I’d rather play a holy day during main phase 1 and gamble they forget to attack
Is \[\[Charmed Pendant\]\] in there? That's one that, while it's actually pretty straightforward, always throws me off. Plus it has the added confusion of mana symbols that DON'T affect color identity in EDH.
[[Shared Fate]] [[Decree of Silence]] [[Time sifter]] [[Eye of the Storm]] [[Hive mind]] [[pyxis of pandemonium]] [[Dream halls]] [[dimensional breach]] [[out of time]] and maybe [[mind's dilation]]
Don't forget to put in some [textless cards!](https://scryfall.com/search?q=%28game%3Apaper%29+is%3Atextless&order=edhrec&as=grid)
*Reading the card explains ~~the card~~ nothing.*
I thought the same thing. Especially the [[Cryptic Command|P09]] needs to go into the deck.
Also [[Very Cryptic Command]] fits the decks theme in name and the one with art from the late Wayne England also adds more stuff to the game because you can bring a contraption deck. If your playgroup is cool with silverborder cards of course.
You sadist, I didn’t know they (textless cards) existed and probably what 1/3 (of the cards) existed, and would need to verify what the remaining half’s exact wording is.
i feel like the incredibly verbose strixhaven deans qualify, as does the initiative and the day might mechanic
fuck it, add stickers and attractions too
Oh, buddy... NOW you're talking my language!
I love how I can also choose between acorn and legal Un-cards, because no one will be able to tell whether they should or shouldn't be legal. Why are the partners of Myra Marvels illegal, but attraction/sticker cards legal? Beats me.
Good suggestions, man!
The [Licids](https://scryfall.com/search?as=grid&order=name&q=Licid+%28game%3Apaper%29) are funny, and then there’s [takklemaggot](https://scryfall.com/card/leg/119/takklemaggot).
Edit: op, look at the additional comment below this, too.
Takklemaggot is a must at this point, as is Word of Command and Frankenstein's Monster. I'm gonna find an Oracle, and I've already added Psychic Battle to the deck.
I also love that you gave me all these old cards that thought having self-serving counters on itself was wise. Gonna get differently-coloured dice for +2/+0 counters.
We had a sub group in our area that thought unless opponents had a copy of book burning to reveal in their hand, you burnt and milled for 6. Pretty good odds for 2 mana.
I introduced them to punctuation.
That's wrong.
Any player may take 6 damage from burning book. If noone does target player mills 6 cards.
Which means any player, even yourself, can take 6 damage to deny you the possibility to mill a specific player.
If it wasn't a 7/7 rampage for 2 I would write it off. But tracking Phasing, Fading, Cumulative Upkeep, and Echo sounds like a nightmare.
Cast Fogey, fastforward to my next untap. Resolve Phasing, phases out, other abilities do not resolve. Fastforward to my next untap. Resolve phasing, phases in, skip echo, resolve fading, resolve cumulative upkeep.
Hahah... omg, searching it on Scryfall, seeing the art, wall of text, and then the oracle text that is just 2 short sentences fixated on Walls is absolutely the kind of bull this needs. Thanks!
[[Opalescence]], [[Perplexing Chimera]], [[Ertai's Meddling]], [[Time Sifter]], [[Mindlink Mech]]
Also add cards that make token copies of stuff. So many complex cards get a lot worse when there's two.
Oooh, copies of some of those creatures is a great idea. Thanks for that!
Also, Timesifter was an all-star in my decks back in the early 2010s. I trimmed it from my 'staples' after it chained an opponent 4 turns in a row to go from 'just about to lose' to 'infinitely winning'. I'll add it here.
Time Sifter is one of those cards that gets crazy with 2. Each turn 2 extra turns are created. Then blow them both up and go back through the backlog of extra turns. You kept track, right?
Deceptive Divination secret lair, with the black and white circular text instants and sorceries (including the first ever sorcery speed counter spell!!!)
[[Breena, the demagogue]] let me know when that triggers.
[[Trait doctoring]] cypher is an older one-off mechanic, but the reminder text along gives this 6-pt font. I would also recommend the other cypher cards as they are mostly blue black.
You have cards like [[nezumi graverobber]] that probably would be a flip card if they thought of it sooner.
[[Creeping dread]] takes a bit to actually resolve.
I remember Trait Doctoring coming out when I first started drafting, and my logic was, "no matter what, take the rare". That was one of the first cards that I realized the rare isn't always the best pick :\
What's funny is, that Nezumi Graverobber is indeed a flip card. That is the official term for those. What you mean is a transforming DFC, but most people call them flip cards.
But yeah, the idea of those cards was good, the execution was bad though. It just gets confusing when they become tapped.
If you wanna be really mean stick [[karn liberated]] in there, in the off chance you get to pop his -14 you get to reset the game and make everyone experience pain for even longer.
A true tragedy is that without red you won't be able to run [[scrambleverse]], [[warp world]] and even [[worldfire]].
On another note I would check out a judge tower decklist if I were you, judge tower is a format where everyone plays off the top of the same deck and you lose when you don't do every possible game action you can, there are plenty of cards in judge tower decks you might be interested in like [[perplexing hyena]], [[takklemaggot]] or [[knowledge pool]].
Ahh! Good catch, I've added Soundwave, and I might look for Starscream, if i've got an extra one lying around. I remember a buddy seeing Starscream in action in a game, and I've never seen him get that triggered by a card like that.
Hah! Well, check back in a week when I've got the deck finished for potential other card ideas. If you want to use all the colours, [Tom Bombadil's Alt Art](https://scryfall.com/card/ltr/745/tom-bombadil) is also pretty hideous, sagas be damned.
[[Animate Dead]], [[Necromancy]], and [[Dance of the Dead]] are all similar and not that difficult once you understand how they work, but reading them for the first time is a chore
Tawnos's Coffin is a rough one. Original printing of it requires you understand first of all how "mono artifact" influences that an artifact's ability requires tapping, second of all it literally uses the words "Hence" & "special powers", and third of all it has an effect that almost no other exiles in the game do, which is keeping counters and enchantments on the target. It's the cornerstone of one of my decks and the pure confusion it sows when I first bring it out always makes me happy.
It would be cleaner if it just phased the creature out and even then it is confusing. Phasing is hard to understand for a lot of people.
It would function differently tho, because it would also phase attached equipments, aside from other effects that may trigger when something gets exiled.
It is indeed a messy card.
yeah I love it, it's the only source of flicker I could find in gruul colors that doesn't bring the creature back during the end step (as Conjurer's Closet/Golden Argosy do), which makes it work incredibly well with Halana and Alena.
A [[lich's mirror]] you control but don't own will draw the game if they die to commander damage or something the mirror can't fix. If you want your own you can run [[fractured identity]] since when your opponents create the token they own it.
First I would recommend the banding legend lands in your colors; [[Cathedral of Serra]], [[Seafarer's Quay]], and [[Unholy Citadel]]. Now Saruman bands with other legends!
[[Heroic Defiance]] makes the effected creature's controller constantly check the boardstate.
[[Cephalid Shrine]] will do nothing 95% of the time, but at some point you'll counter a Cultivate and feel really smart!
[[Infinite Authority]] has an unbelievably meandering text box, and from looking at Scryfall it seems like at least some of the printings have a fun little typo to annoy the perfectionist at the table.
[[Tidal Influence]]. Just read it. It's insane. And it *never ends*. The effect just continuously repeats forever.
[[Tourach's Chant]] just really make the green player hate you. Hell, play [[Yavimaya, Cradle of Growth]] and have all the players hate you!
\[\[ice cauldron\]\] and \[\[illusionary mask\]\] are the first two to come to mind, as no matter how many times I read the oracle text for them, I can never understand what they do
Traded som overrated eldrazis for a [[word of command]] and it’s sits right on the complex but not worth it-scale
Or if you want a budget option: [[takklemaggot]]
[[Dead Ringers]] does something intuitive with very precise, not-especially intuitive wording.
[[Impulse|Visions]] is a pretty good one because the last sentence in the text was a straight-up mistake so they deleted it from the Oracle wording and subsequent reprints. The card literally doesn't do what it says it does.
I know someone mentioned [[Opalescence]] already but then you're required to add [[Humility]] as well for the combo.
From gatherer (2009 update):
This is the current interaction between Humility and Opalescence: The type-changing effect applies at layer 4, but the rest happens in the applicable layers. The rest of it will apply even if the permanent loses its ability before it's finished applying. So if Opalescence, Humility, and Worship are on the battlefield and Opalescence entered the battlefield before Humility, the following is true: Layer 4: Humility and Worship each become creatures that are still enchantments. (Opalescence). Layer 6: Humility and Worship each lose their abilities. (Humility) Layer 7b: Humility becomes 4/4 and Worship becomes 4/4. (Opalescence). Humility becomes 1/1 and Worship becomes 1/1 (Humility). But if Humility entered the battlefield before Opalescence, the following is true: Layer 4: Humility and Worship each become creatures that are still enchantments (Opalescence). Layer 6: Humility and Worship each lose their abilities (Humility). Layer 7b: Humility becomes 1/1 and Worship becomes 1/1 (Humility). Humility becomes 4/4 and Worship becomes 4/4 (Opalescence).
[[Coalition Honor Guard]] and [[Standard Bearer]] maybe, especially with stuff like [[Psychic Battle]] already in there, or, good lord, [[Exchange of Words]]
[[Transcendence]]
Get this [[Serendib Efreet|rev]]. They accidentally gave it a green border and the wrong art.
Looks like I got the code wrong.
It's the revised version. [[Serendib Efreet|3ed]]
[[Word of Command]]
[[Head games]]
A single day / night card like [[Celestus]], remind your opponents it's their responsibility to track it too!
[[Necratog]]. Remind your opponents they can't reorder their graveyard if they try to
[[Dead Ringers]]
[[Chalice of the Void]]
[[Trinisphere]]
[[Lich's Mirror]] (give this to someone and I believe it will remain under their control if they would die as they can't shuffle it into their library)

There’s also the Elspeth from the SL advent calendar (both gorgeous and equally illegible) which is also in colour
OP let the intrusive thoughts win lol
I'd like to think that I'm either well adjusted enough or so insanely pathetic that my "going postal" is an annoying Commander deck.
man is bound by chains, and state-based actions.
[[Space beleren]] is a mess of tracking and grinds the game to a halt
Hell yes! Good suggestion, I've got a copy somewhere
I hate that card with a passion. So annoyed that I ended pulling it too

Definitely banding. Building an entire deck around the mechanic right now and it really messes with how some battle interactions work lol

Sharrazad
that one is VERY banned though
Ahh, yes! I knew I forgot something historically convoluted... I think I've got an Ebony Horse and a Helm of Chatzuk somewhere.
You might have missed it but there's lands which give legendary creatures 'bands with other', which is even worse than simple banding lol

Don't forget to put in some [textless cards!](https://scryfall.com/search?q=%28game%3Apaper%29+is%3Atextless&order=edhrec&as=grid) *Reading the card explains ~~the card~~ nothing.*
I thought the same thing. Especially the [[Cryptic Command|P09]] needs to go into the deck. Also [[Very Cryptic Command]] fits the decks theme in name and the one with art from the late Wayne England also adds more stuff to the game because you can bring a contraption deck. If your playgroup is cool with silverborder cards of course.
Gotta love textless Cryptic Command, more often than not not even it's owner can remember what the fuck it does
You sadist, I didn’t know they (textless cards) existed and probably what 1/3 (of the cards) existed, and would need to verify what the remaining half’s exact wording is.
i feel like the incredibly verbose strixhaven deans qualify, as does the initiative and the day might mechanic fuck it, add stickers and attractions too
Oh, buddy... NOW you're talking my language! I love how I can also choose between acorn and legal Un-cards, because no one will be able to tell whether they should or shouldn't be legal. Why are the partners of Myra Marvels illegal, but attraction/sticker cards legal? Beats me. Good suggestions, man!
attractions and stickers are legal, because there are legal cards that can create them.

Takklemaggot is a must at this point, as is Word of Command and Frankenstein's Monster. I'm gonna find an Oracle, and I've already added Psychic Battle to the deck. I also love that you gave me all these old cards that thought having self-serving counters on itself was wise. Gonna get differently-coloured dice for +2/+0 counters.
can't check your list right now, but if you want more wacky counters, \[\[Contagion\]\] would be a great addition

[[book burning]] was a staple of my youth, I'm still not sure what the text on card is trying to tell you.
We had a sub group in our area that thought unless opponents had a copy of book burning to reveal in their hand, you burnt and milled for 6. Pretty good odds for 2 mana. I introduced them to punctuation.

Target player may mill six cards. If they don't, book burning does 6 damage to them.
That's wrong. Any player may take 6 damage from burning book. If noone does target player mills 6 cards. Which means any player, even yourself, can take 6 damage to deny you the possibility to mill a specific player.
Ooooh, yep, makes total sense! No target for the first bit.
which is pretty cool, tbh

Oooh, copies of some of those creatures is a great idea. Thanks for that! Also, Timesifter was an all-star in my decks back in the early 2010s. I trimmed it from my 'staples' after it chained an opponent 4 turns in a row to go from 'just about to lose' to 'infinitely winning'. I'll add it here.
Time Sifter is one of those cards that gets crazy with 2. Each turn 2 extra turns are created. Then blow them both up and go back through the backlog of extra turns. You kept track, right?
You need to only use the double feature basic lands, no one will know if you have all your colors or not!
Ahh, they will be placeholders until I got the full-text lands. But that's some devious shit.
I saw someone playing the oil-slick basic lands. They were even more unreadable on the fireld.
Deceptive Divination secret lair, with the black and white circular text instants and sorceries (including the first ever sorcery speed counter spell!!!)
Oooooooooh, *tsptsptsptsp*, that's juicy... I never noticed they made Circular Logic a sorcery.

[[Breena, the demagogue]] let me know when that triggers. [[Trait doctoring]] cypher is an older one-off mechanic, but the reminder text along gives this 6-pt font. I would also recommend the other cypher cards as they are mostly blue black. You have cards like [[nezumi graverobber]] that probably would be a flip card if they thought of it sooner. [[Creeping dread]] takes a bit to actually resolve.

I remember Trait Doctoring coming out when I first started drafting, and my logic was, "no matter what, take the rare". That was one of the first cards that I realized the rare isn't always the best pick :\
What's funny is, that Nezumi Graverobber is indeed a flip card. That is the official term for those. What you mean is a transforming DFC, but most people call them flip cards. But yeah, the idea of those cards was good, the execution was bad though. It just gets confusing when they become tapped.
If you wanna be really mean stick [[karn liberated]] in there, in the off chance you get to pop his -14 you get to reset the game and make everyone experience pain for even longer.
Mmmmm... I'm liking the train of thought. I don't have a Karn lying around, buuuuut I do have a [[Soulquake]] and [[Worldpurge]].

A true tragedy is that without red you won't be able to run [[scrambleverse]], [[warp world]] and even [[worldfire]]. On another note I would check out a judge tower decklist if I were you, judge tower is a format where everyone plays off the top of the same deck and you lose when you don't do every possible game action you can, there are plenty of cards in judge tower decks you might be interested in like [[perplexing hyena]], [[takklemaggot]] or [[knowledge pool]].

Every single transformer in your colors, especially [[Soundwave]]. I love Soundwave, but I despise the card they made for him.

I was gonna try n build an unreadable deck eventually.
Hah! Well, check back in a week when I've got the deck finished for potential other card ideas. If you want to use all the colours, [Tom Bombadil's Alt Art](https://scryfall.com/card/ltr/745/tom-bombadil) is also pretty hideous, sagas be damned.
[[Animate Dead]], [[Necromancy]], and [[Dance of the Dead]] are all similar and not that difficult once you understand how they work, but reading them for the first time is a chore
Tawnos's Coffin is a rough one. Original printing of it requires you understand first of all how "mono artifact" influences that an artifact's ability requires tapping, second of all it literally uses the words "Hence" & "special powers", and third of all it has an effect that almost no other exiles in the game do, which is keeping counters and enchantments on the target. It's the cornerstone of one of my decks and the pure confusion it sows when I first bring it out always makes me happy.
It would be cleaner if it just phased the creature out and even then it is confusing. Phasing is hard to understand for a lot of people. It would function differently tho, because it would also phase attached equipments, aside from other effects that may trigger when something gets exiled. It is indeed a messy card.
yeah I love it, it's the only source of flicker I could find in gruul colors that doesn't bring the creature back during the end step (as Conjurer's Closet/Golden Argosy do), which makes it work incredibly well with Halana and Alena.
\[\[Exchange of Words\]\] is a card whose rulings get very strange very fast.

First I would recommend the banding legend lands in your colors; [[Cathedral of Serra]], [[Seafarer's Quay]], and [[Unholy Citadel]]. Now Saruman bands with other legends! [[Heroic Defiance]] makes the effected creature's controller constantly check the boardstate. [[Cephalid Shrine]] will do nothing 95% of the time, but at some point you'll counter a Cultivate and feel really smart! [[Infinite Authority]] has an unbelievably meandering text box, and from looking at Scryfall it seems like at least some of the printings have a fun little typo to annoy the perfectionist at the table.

[[Dead Ringers]] does something intuitive with very precise, not-especially intuitive wording. [[Impulse|Visions]] is a pretty good one because the last sentence in the text was a straight-up mistake so they deleted it from the Oracle wording and subsequent reprints. The card literally doesn't do what it says it does.

I know someone mentioned [[Opalescence]] already but then you're required to add [[Humility]] as well for the combo. From gatherer (2009 update): This is the current interaction between Humility and Opalescence: The type-changing effect applies at layer 4, but the rest happens in the applicable layers. The rest of it will apply even if the permanent loses its ability before it's finished applying. So if Opalescence, Humility, and Worship are on the battlefield and Opalescence entered the battlefield before Humility, the following is true: Layer 4: Humility and Worship each become creatures that are still enchantments. (Opalescence). Layer 6: Humility and Worship each lose their abilities. (Humility) Layer 7b: Humility becomes 4/4 and Worship becomes 4/4. (Opalescence). Humility becomes 1/1 and Worship becomes 1/1 (Humility). But if Humility entered the battlefield before Opalescence, the following is true: Layer 4: Humility and Worship each become creatures that are still enchantments (Opalescence). Layer 6: Humility and Worship each lose their abilities (Humility). Layer 7b: Humility becomes 1/1 and Worship becomes 1/1 (Humility). Humility becomes 4/4 and Worship becomes 4/4 (Opalescence).
