When i initially saw the list for this deck, i found that aether vial was the missing piece in a B/U Fish build I've been working on for a while now.  I took it to a tourney last sunday and did 3-2, losing to oath because of an idiotic play mistake.

4 Polluted Delta
4 Underground Sea
5 Strips
1 swamp
1 island
4 factory
1 mox jet
1 mox sapphire
1 black lotus

4 chalice
4 aether vial

4 mesmeric fiend
3 negator
4 wither wretch
3 ninja of deep hours

4 standstill
4 force of will
4 duress
1 ancestral recall
1 time walk
1 demonic tutor
1 diabolic edict

While adding blue may burden consistency issues, it helps keep the deck going raher than relying on topdeck mode.  Plus aether vial is a mana fixer anyway.  Sideboard otpions really depend on your metagame, though i recommend that 3 diabolic edict be in there all the time.

One of hte deck's biggest problems is a resolved turn 1 juggernaut.. followed by a welder.  Make sure u have something to take care of workshop aggro on your board.

im with kird ape on this one.  theres a reason a big whack of these cards got banned from standard, and the little 1/1 that could is a big part of it.  uses invovle killing opponent faster, or to jus tkilling them period agaisnt when a spell like bargain or doomsday resolves.

the build looks REAL similar minus 2 cards from the last buld that smmemen put up.  i played it for a while and found that you would randomly lose to turn 1 chalice for 1.  rebuild is a great card in multiples, and can even allow you to go off on the same turn by drawing the top card off the doomsday.  Given enough mana of course.

Can someone post a decklist? thanks

I would say give Fish a chance, but type 1 madness decks are such a boatload of fun to play.

Not sure why tog really went into submission.. the slaver build that ran intuition seemed popular enough (more importantly, similar enough to tog) to run.
