Outlandish Magic ELO is a concept that refers to a deck archetype in the card game Magic: The Gathering. ELO, which stands for Electric Light Orchestra, is a rating system used to measure the relative skill levels of players. In this context, Outlandish Magic ELO represents a unique and unconventional deck that can surprise opponents and potentially lead to victory. The term "outlandish" implies something unusual or eccentric, and in the context of Magic: The Gathering, it refers to deck compositions that deviate from the conventional strategies and cards typically seen in competitive play. These decks often utilize unusual card combinations, mechanics, or win conditions, which can catch opponents off guard and give the Outlandish Magic player a strategic advantage. The Outlandish Magic ELO archetype encourages players to experiment with unconventional deck ideas and stray away from the predictable patterns of competitive play.

Magic permeates fantasy gaming worlds and often appears in the form of a spell.
This section provides the rules for casting spells. Different character classes have distinctive ways of learning and preparing their spells, and monsters use spells in unique ways. Regardless of its source, a spell follows the rules here.
The Outlandish Magic ELO archetype encourages players to experiment with unconventional deck ideas and stray away from the predictable patterns of competitive play. It is a departure from the norm and challenges players to think outside the box. The focus is not solely on winning but on creating a unique deck that embodies the player's sense of creativity and style.
What Is a Spell?
A spell is a discrete magical effect, a single shaping of the magical energies that suffuse the multiverse into a specific, limited expression. In casting a spell, a character carefully plucks at the invisible strands of raw magic suffusing the world, pins them in place in a particular pattern, sets them vibrating in a specific way, and then releases them to unleash the desired effect—in most cases, all in the span of seconds.
Spells can be versatile tools, weapons, or protective wards. They can deal damage or undo it, impose or remove conditions, drain life energy away, and restore life to the dead.
Uncounted thousands of spells have been created over the course of the multiverse’s history, and many of them are long forgotten. Some might yet lie recorded in crumbling spellbooks hidden in ancient ruins or trapped in the minds of dead gods. Or they might someday be reinvented by a character who has amassed enough power and wisdom to do so.
Spell Level
Every spell has a level from 0 to 9. A spell’s level is a general indicator of how powerful it is, with the lowly (but still impressive) magic missile at 1st level and the earth--shaking wish at 9th. Cantrips—simple but powerful spells that characters can cast almost by rote—are level 0. The higher a spell’s level, the higher level a spellcaster must be to use that spell.
Spell level and character level don’t correspond directly. Typically, a character has to be at least 17th level, not 9th level, to cast a 9th--level spell.
Known and Prepared Spells
Before a spellcaster can use a spell, he or she must have the spell firmly fixed in mind, or must have access to the spell in a magic item. Members of a few classes, including bards and sorcerers, have a limited list of spells they know that are always fixed in mind. The same thing is true of many magic--using monsters. Other spellcasters, such as clerics and wizards, undergo a process of preparing spells. This process varies for different classes, as detailed in their descriptions.
In every case, the number of spells a caster can have fixed in mind at any given time depends on the character’s level.
Spell Slots
Regardless of how many spells a caster knows or prepares, he or she can cast only a limited number of spells before resting. Manipulating the fabric of magic and channeling its energy into even a simple spell is physically and mentally taxing, and higher--level spells are even more so. Thus, each spellcasting class’s description (except that of the warlock) includes a table showing how many spell slots of each spell level a character can use at each character level. For example, the 3rd--level wizard Umara has four 1st--level spell slots and two 2nd--level slots.
When a character casts a spell, he or she expends a slot of that spell’s level or higher, effectively “filling” a slot with the spell. You can think of a spell slot as a groove of a certain size—small for a 1st--level slot, larger for a spell of higher level. A 1st--level spell fits into a slot of any size, but a 9th--level spell fits only in a 9th--level slot. So when Umara casts magic missile, a 1st--level spell, she spends one of her four 1st--level slots and has three remaining.
Finishing a long rest restores any expended spell slots.
Some characters and monsters have special abilities that let them cast spells without using spell slots. For example, a monk who follows the Way of the Four Elements, a warlock who chooses certain eldritch invocations, and a pit fiend from the Nine Hells can all cast spells in such a way.
Casting a Spell at a Higher Level
When a spellcaster casts a spell using a slot that is of a higher level than the spell, the spell assumes the higher level for that casting. For instance, if Umara casts magic missile using one of her 2nd--level slots, that magic missile is 2nd level. Effectively, the spell expands to fill the slot it is put into.
Some spells, such as magic missile and cure wounds , have more powerful effects when cast at a higher level, as detailed in a spell’s description.
Casting in Armor
Because of the mental focus and precise gestures required for spellcasting, you must be proficient with the armor you are wearing to cast a spell. You are otherwise too distracted and physically hampered by your armor for spellcasting.
Cantrips
A cantrip is a spell that can be cast at will, without using a spell slot and without being prepared in advance. Repeated practice has fixed the spell in the caster’s mind and infused the caster with the magic needed to produce the effect over and over. A cantrip’s spell level is 0.
Rituals
Certain spells have a special tag: ritual. Such a spell can be cast following the normal rules for spellcasting, or the spell can be cast as a ritual. The ritual version of a spell takes 10 minutes longer to cast than normal. It also doesn’t expend a spell slot, which means the ritual version of a spell can’t be cast at a higher level.
To cast a spell as a ritual, a spellcaster must have a feature that grants the ability to do so. The cleric and the druid, for example, have such a feature. The caster must also have the spell prepared or on his or her list of spells known, unless the character’s ritual feature specifies otherwise, as the wizard’s does.
One of the main benefits of playing an Outlandish Magic ELO deck is the element of surprise. Because the deck diverges from established strategies, opponents may struggle to predict the player's next move or understand the deck's overall game plan. This unpredictability can allow the Outlandish Magic player to gain the upper hand and secure unexpected victories. However, playing an Outlandish Magic ELO deck also presents unique challenges. These decks are typically less tested and refined than more conventional archetypes, which can result in inconsistencies or vulnerabilities. The unorthodox card combinations and mechanics involved may require a higher level of skill and understanding to execute effectively. Ultimately, the concept of Outlandish Magic ELO encourages creativity and innovation in deck building and gameplay. It is an invitation to explore new possibilities and challenge the conventional norms of the game. While it may not be the most competitive or reliable strategy, it offers a refreshing change of pace and the opportunity for unique and memorable experiences in the world of Magic: The Gathering..
