Hi, I am looking for a deck to troll people at modern FNM with. My thoughts are lost in the woods or battle of wits. What deck will be successful at trolling the most people. Modern is getting kind of stale so I am looking for a way to have more fun.
This is not how bans/unbans work. Its always the enabler that gets the ban, not the card that is being abused. If you would have Yawgmoths will + whatever cards - it would be Yawgs that would be banned. If you would have Stoneforge and batterskull - it would be stone who would be banned and that is exactly how it works. Furthermore, banning a card in order to unban a different card is a thought process that was and wont be never applied in practical means.
I would play eggs but I'm fairly sure it will be banned and I would prefer not to waste the money.
I've ported eggs to legacy with LED so my cards are useful even if it gets banned in modern. As for a troll deck, play stax. That is the typical troll archetype.

Lycanthropy Awareness Day.
Hoping for a cure, or at least an outbreak.
I just want to beat people with Stab Wound. I imagine a Stab Wound on Tarmogoyf, and my opponent saying, "This is literally the first time this has ever happened in a game of Magic."

What is stax and led? Im not familiar with anything in legacy and I haven't heard of stax.
Stax refers to a prison strategy focusing around cards like the eponymous Smokestack (although that's not entirely true, as the deck's name originally refers to "$T4KS" as "the $4000 solution," but nowadays it refers to Smokestack) as well as effects like Trinisphere and the like. Basically it stops your opponent from being able to do anything. LED is Lion's Eye Diamond.
On topic, there's always the Garga-Geddon deck as an effective troll (tons of Borderposts, cascade spells, Restore Balance, and Greater Gargadon). Not everyone knows how to play against it correctly, and unless your opponent's got counterspells, there's not much that can stop an instant-speed Restore Balance. Especially when you have the capacity to do it several times per game.
If this was another time, I might be inclined to agree, but for some odd reason, people actually sit down and watch the other player combo out. It would still be hilarious though.
Warp World. Just dump a bunch of token producers and Wood Elves into a deck, cast WW, get it back with Nucklavee, repeat for 20+ minutes until you get bored or until they have 0 permanents left in play, whichever happens first.
So kinda off topic but what are the rules for something like this? Can you get judge called for delay of game if you just loop forever? I would assume you can but I'd love to see where in the rules they deal with it. It doesn't seem like an easy problem to spell out.

Why just troll your opponent when you can make the whole tournament wait?
Also add something that can kill both players simultaneously. Draws are fun.
MODERN :symu::symw: UW Tron :symu::symw:
16 Swamp
4 Reliquary Tower
4 Evolving Wilds
4 Terramorphic Expanse
3 Dimir Guildgate
4 Treasure Hunt
Everytime you win it will be awesome...and it costs 5 bucks to make?

Sorry, I should have replied with more detail. What Teia said is correct though, so no reason to repeat it all.

The kicker is Scrambleverse as your wincon, hoping you take some of their creatures.
I think this could be tuned a little bit but it seems incredibly fun. One more vote for this.

or try anything stax with no wincon
Thanks Argentleman;)
