Insanity gets a bad rap. The “Unraveling Mind” deck is built to take advantage of the madness ability. When you discard a card with madness, you can play it—usually for a discount, and at a time your opponent won’t expect. Discard
Reckless Wurm Buy to pay for
Lightning Axe Buy, for example, and you can take out almost any opposing creature and get a surprise blocker into play at the same time.
Undertaker Buy may be the most helpful card in the deck. It lets you discard a card to return a creature card from your graveyard to your hand. Set it up with two creature cards with madness and you’ve got a reanimation loop: Whenever one of the creatures dies, discard the other one (and play it) to return the first one to your hand!
Eventually you’ll be able to close out the game with large creatures like
Reckless Wurm Buy or
Phantasmagorian Buy, with evasive attacks from
Mirri the Cursed Buy or
Trespasser il-Vec Buy, or simply with a final
Disintegrate Buy. Drive your opponent crazy—as crazy as you!
