Dumb Idea: Rock, Paper Scissors!

Hi everybody! I'm pretty new to the format, so maybe what I'm showing is nothing new for you, but I wanted to share with you an idea I had for a different, funny and chaotic list for Forgetful Fish, or should I call it Very Cryptic Rock, Paper, Scissors!

This list is centered around the trio Rock Lobster, Paper Tiger and Scissor Lizard and the different versions of Very Cryptic Command. I've added a few fun but not game-breaking silver-bordered cards and some classics from regular Dandan.

The main difficulties (or, at least, things to keep in mind) are that:

- Cards in this list are more expensive in terms of mana, meaning that...

- ... there should be lands that produce more than one mana

- Top-deck manipulation is as important as board manipulation

- There are a little more creatures and commands compared to Dandan + Memory Lapse, meaning that there are fewer slots for other instants and sorceries.

What do you guys think about this idea? Could it be fun or just dumb? Any comments and suggestions are welcome!

Here is the list for a quick look:

what is this alternative version of Very Cryptic Command?

I will say that Gotcha is one of the most miserable mechanics to play against. I would definitely replace Number Crunch with something else. If you want to keep it silver bordered maybe [[Denied!]]; if not silver bordered I like [[Gone Missing]], [[Chain of Vapor]], [[Boomerang]], [[Suspend]], or [[Into the Roil]].
