I've had a crazy deck on my mind for a while, but never had the opportunity to build it until now, but I want YOUR input. That's right, I want you to shape the deck.
This deck is designed to emulate a roulette wheel, like the ones found in casinos. Whatever comes off the top of the deck, your opponent won't like it. I'm looking for suggestions for 2 mono-Green creatures,18 mono-Black creatures and 18 mono-Red creatures. I will run 39 lands in addition to the following "spinners".
Please vote for 3 cards for each Green, Black and Red. You may also vote down 1 card in each group. As always, comments, suggestions and feedback are all welcome.
Changelog
-1 Xenagos the Reveler
+ 1 Aetherworks Marvel
I think that being able to spin a wheel more often than a Planeswalker's ultimate will improve consistancy, and the lack of focused energy producers force a unique mana base.
"If I accept you for who you are, I am your enemy. Friendship comes when one crosses the line of acceptance and into the life of that person and aides them in ways both known and unknown. Growth of an individual is a sign of a good friendship."
EDH Pantheon UBRG Yidris, Eye of the Storm WBR Kaalia, Herald of Apocalypse UBG Damia, Sage of Nightmare WBG Karador, the Bridge Between WU Grand Warden Augustin IV RG Omnath, Locus of Awakening BG Nath Addict UR Niv Mizzet, Brain Aflame B Kokusho, the Mourning Star U Memnarch is All
These are my votes. I've tried to steer clear of established staples, and still give you some votes for things that have an element of unpredictability to them. Most of these are pretty affordable, too. I really like the idea btw. And I also second the idea of having something like Phage the Untouchable, Abyssal Persecutor or Hellcarver Demon in here as a house loses card.
Green:
I was mainly thinking of effects that helps put more lands in play/filtering like Courser of Kruphix and Oracle of Mul Daya, but if you want the top card to be a surprise they will probably not be ok Acidic Slime to nuke stuff.
EDH BGU Sidisi, Brood Tyrant - Lurking Zombies. GBG Sapling of Colfenor - Forest Growth and Destruction. RWU Zedruu the Greathearted - Blinking and trading. GWB Teneb the Harvester - Enchantments, you lose life I gain life. RRR Neheb the Eternal - Ping people for mana burn.
My favorite black beatdown is another vote for Sheoldred, Whispering One. You might as well run all three praetors for extra flavor, and Urabrask the Hidden isn't a bad roll anyway.
I tried a few games with this,using some of the top 25 Back and Red creatures due to lack of votes thus far, and I seem to be flooded with expensive creatures. Should I half the number of creatures and keep the number of spinners, or keep the creatures and add some ramp?

You should cheat, just like I do, delve spells and anything with an alternative casting cost is Yidris’ best friend.

Sheoldred, Whispering One for sure.
Why mono-colour? I think that Dragonlord Silumgar would be great.
Cream of the crop can be great too, by the way.

Building: The Gitrog Monster lands, Glissa the Traitor stax, Muldrotha, the Gravetide Planeswalker Combo, Kydele, Chosen of Kruphix + Sidar Kondo of Jamuraa Clues, and Tribal Scarecrow Planeswalkers
Kazuul, Tyrant of the Cliffs for some defence
Taurean Mauler something that just get bigger
maybe Goblin Spymaster to make the board more of a mess
Green:

Acidic Slime to nuke stuff.
Black:
Mikaeus, the Unhallowed buff and prevent stuff from dying
Body tutors as Sidisi, Undead Vizier and Rune-Scarred Demon to fetch more "spinners"
BGU Sidisi, Brood Tyrant - Lurking Zombies.
GBG Sapling of Colfenor - Forest Growth and Destruction.
RWU Zedruu the Greathearted - Blinking and trading.
GWB Teneb the Harvester - Enchantments, you lose life I gain life.
RRR Neheb the Eternal - Ping people for mana burn.
It's simulating a roulette wheel, which typically has 18 black, 18 red, and 2 green slots. It's a perfect flavor win.
I'll double Terastadon and Vorinclex for the green options.
My favorite red big beat is Balefire Dragon
My favorite black beatdown is another vote for Sheoldred, Whispering One. You might as well run all three praetors for extra flavor, and Urabrask the Hidden isn't a bad roll anyway.
