Totally off the top of my head:

TurboBaumann:
    4 Opportunity
    4 Sift
    18 Island
    4 Ancient Tomb
    4 Temporal Cascade
    1 Time Spiral
    1 Timetwister
    4 Tendrils of Agony
    4 Dream Halls
    4 Mana Severance
    1 Black Lotus
    1 Mana Crypt
    1 Mana Vault
    4 Force of Will
    4 Meditate
    1 Ancestral Recall

Manages a good lot of turn 2 kills, while the turn 1 kill is rarer. Still, the deck is definately crack (especially considering it was thrown together in 2 minutes  Razz).

Could you give a well-argumented answer on why the hell to play Chalice Black over Dragon?

Dead Guy Red isn't Stupid Red Burn, since it runs a higher amount of creatures. Neither is it Sligh, since that is built a little different.
Remember, the turn 4 kill is the consistant average, and even the turn 2 ROP might not be enough to race it.
 
Elfball doesn't die nearly as easy to counters as Tide would since it can also play the beatdown when facing heavy control.

For reference, the decks that immediatly spring to mind as the best in the format are:

Dead Guy Red (Goblin Grenade or no?)
ElfBall
Prozen Tide (Prosperity + High Tide engine + Brain Freeze)

Can this race or disrupt any of these long enough to win?

Dead Guy Red usually have dealt about 22-25 damage on turn 4-5, so I suspect the possible solutions in this deck - critters, lifegain, slide - to be unsufficient.

Elfball doesn't really care as long as you can't hit their Priest, you can't really disrupt them.

Prozen Tide is stopped by the inclusion of Gaea's Blessing somewhere. IF you feel that the deck is somewhere in your meta, you have to include this, even if that means cutting some other uncommon (In my recollection, Blessing is uncommon - correct me if I'm wrong).

The peasant magic scene is dominated by sub-optimal players and deck constructers, which only leads to the conclusion that scrub-decks are a large portion, including such memories as White Weenie, RG Beatz etc.
