This is the Rector/Bargain build i was playing prior to the errata removal on flash.

4 Scrubland
4 Caves of Koilos
3 Phyrexian Tower


4 Academy Rector
4 Children of Korlis

4 Cabal Therapy
4 Duress
1 Black Lotus
1 Mox Jet
1 Mox Pearl
1 Lion's Eye Diamond
1 Lotus Petal
1 Mox Diamond
1 Chrome Mox
1 Mana Crypt
1 Mana Vault
1 Sol Ring
4 Dark Ritual
1 Null Profusion
1 Necropotence
1 Yawgmoth's Bargain
1 Yawgmoth's Will
1 Demonic Tutor
1 Vampiric Tutor
1 Imperial Seal
1 Death Wish
1 Tendrils of Agony
2 Diabolic Intent
7 Other cards i cant seem to remember

I have played and test played this deck over and over and the results have always been pretty fair with very few wins past turn three. It's also fairly simple to play. Just drop and ample amount of excellerants to play rector and therapy (if Therapy was lacking then turn 2 with a Phyrexian Tower). Cabal Therapy with its flashback back is a fairly viable disruption to me which can definately take any opposing threats to your combo out of your opponents hands. Then tutor for Bargain pay a large amount of life ( within the range of 10 to 15 and sometimes 19 if you see no threats to stop you) draw into a  {W} mana producer then play and sacrifice Children of Korlis to get the life you payed back (paying life does count as loss of life). and continue pay to bargain play a  {W} play and sac Children till you get Tendrils and  {2}  {B}  {B} and 9 spells for the win. Now that the flash errata is gone this deck could be insane in vintage. hope this gave some people some deck building ideas. possibly a primer to come later.

Moved to Vintage Improvement Forum.  Furthermore, please keep in mind the rules here at TMD, specifically number 4, Lack of Content.

i didnt say that this was a better plan than flash i only stated that this was the build i played before the errata on flash was removed with flash now able to "see" the card coming in and going out of play this deck can be alot better for example:

4 Scrubland
4 Caves of Koilos
3 Phyrexian Tower


4 Academy Rector
4 Children of Korlis

4 Cabal Therapy
4 Duress
1 Black Lotus
1 Mox Jet
1 Mox Sapphire
1 Mox Pearl
1 Lion's Eye Diamond
1 Lotus Petal
1 Mox Diamond
1 Chrome Mox
1 Mana Crypt
1 Mana Vault
1 Sol Ring
4 Dark Ritual
1 Null Profusion
1 Necropotence
1 Yawgmoth's Bargain
1 Demonic Tutor
1 Vampiric Tutor
1 Imperial Seal
1 Tendrils of Agony
4 Flash
3 Merchant Scroll

Im not really sure what the count is now in the deck but with the addition of those cards it could be a new headache for other players to go against. i have yet to play test it...

How do you plan on winning when you're running no disruption? Any form of counter will wreck you and Chalice at 1 or 2 can really hurt. You're running blue and black so you should at least have Force of Will and Mana Drain or Duress; if you run Mana Drain, though, you should probably cut the rituals.
