This is a Kitcen table deck, If your friends said anything goes and didnt clarify to what extent that meant, this is what you should play to make them regret that.

The Forbidden Deck (Kitchen Table) is a 125-card Commander deck led by Simic Ascendancy in the Simic color identity (blue/green). The owner has set the deck to bracket 5 — cEDH.

The mainboard runs 26 creatures, 15 instants, 10 sorceries, 9 artifacts, 21 enchantments, 4 planeswalkers, and 40 lands, averaging 3.27 mana value across non-land cards. 67% of non-land cards cost 3 mana or less; 25% cost 5 or more.

Notable inclusions: 6 game changers (e.g. Gaea's Cradle, Fierce Guardianship, and Teferi's Protection), 1 mass land denial card (Vorinclex, Voice of Hunger), 2 fast mana (Blacker Lotus and Black Lotus), 2 alternate win conditions (Simic Ascendancy and Triskaidekaphile), 1 extra-turn spell (Time Walk), and 1 tutor ("Ach! Hans, Run!"). This deck currently has legality issues for Commander.
