They do this tournament at a local store once a month and they call it the "Assassins" format.  There's some other deck building rules too, like no 4-card minimum (banned and restricted list still applies)  but I don't think that's relevant for these purposes.  I'm thinking with a 40-card deck, I can rebuild my T1 academy and get around the restrictions on the fast artifact mana.  Here's a rough build of what I have so far:

1 Timetwister
1 Time Spiral
1 Wheel
1 Windfall
1 Memory Jar

3 Force of Will
2 Abeyance

1 Merchant Scroll
1 Capsize
1 Hurkyll's Recall
1 Ancestral
1 Walk
1 Demonic Tutor
1 Vamp
1 Mystical
1 Crop Rotation
1 Regrowth

1 Stroke
1 Geyser

2 Candelabra
1 Mana Vault
1 Grim Monolith
1 Mana Crypt
1 Sol Ring
1 Lotus
1 Lotus Petal
5 Moxen

1 Academy
4 City

I think I can get by with the land count as it is.  Let me know if you think I'm on the mark on this.

No four card minimum. Give me all Kird Apes and Taigas please supplemented by draw 7s in a forty card deck.
Or how about about fifteen Workshops and Juggies and Sui-Chis and Trisks?
Endless possibilities.

Bebe, he might need the physical cards, so 15 Workshops is out of the question.

I was in a tourney like this. The rules were bring any deck that you could make with the revised rule book. (No cards are banned/restricted or limited to 4)  I borrowed some cards and played a deck worth like 4 grand.  I should have used Demonic Attorneys.

Reap/Lace is could be really good.

Just run your opponentout of cards?

15 or so Dark rituals
All the artifact mana
Memory Jar
Wheel
Geyser
Prosperity
Stroke
usual restricted stuff
Stupid Feldon's Cane
