Solidarity, its the most "think" intensive decks I at least own and I find new ways to play it every time.

Fixers:
1 Prismatic Lens
1 Dreadship Reef
Removal:
1 Sudden Shock
1 Orcish Cannonade
1 Rift Bolt
2 Strangling Soot
2 Assassinate
"Removal"/Answers:
1 Cancel
1 Mindstab
Dudes:
1 Nicol Bolas
1 Bogardan Rager
1 Stuffy Doll
1 Brine Elemental
2 Errant Ephemeron
1 Riftwing Cloudskate
1 Pirate Ship
1 Pit Keeper
1 Vampiric Sliver
1 Goblin Skycutter
Combo
1 Ophidian Eye
1 Mystical Teachings
16 other lands (5 Swamp, 5 Mountain, 6 Island I think was what I settled on).
This was my Sealed pool at the TS release event. I so wish the shop out here sanctioned stuff. I think I lost a total of 1 game in 4 rounds. I think 3 games featured a turn 1 suspended Mindstab, 4 or 5 games had a turn 2 suspended Errant Ephemeron, 3 or 4 games featured Pirate Ship or Stuffy Doll with Ophidian Eye on it creating a one sided Howling Mine to draw me me 7 removal spells for whatever they played, 1 game involved Riftwing bouncing himself every turn to put more Time counters on a suspended Pardic Dragon while Ephemeron beat down. I think it's easily the most busted Sealed pool I've ever opened (Nicol Bolas was probably a mistake, as was Bogardan Rager probably, I never played either), and I'd be happy to run it anyday against any other TS sealed deck piloted by anyone (not saying I'd win, just I'd be happy to run it).
Other decks:
Prosbloom
Sensei, Sensei (apparently I like drawing my deck)
T1 Suicide Black (when Keeper and 4cc were big before SCG events got underway and before AggroShop was big)
But seriously, that Sealed Pool is probably my favorite. It's hard having an edge in Constructed, opening 7 removal spells and 2 Errant Ephemeron though? It's hard not to have an edge with those cards (unless you're a tool and decide to run different colors with what I got, everything else was basically junk in comparison).

The deck that got me into competitive Vintage way back when Juzam was a complete monster was Sligh...man that deck was so awesome. Loved the deck to death because it felt good smashing in Keeper players faces in with all their silly expensive cards  . I also really liked RDW and UG Madness back when they were in their prime. |

For Type 1, Food Chain Goblins
For anything in general, probably Tooth and Nail from the Mirrodin block. I enjoyed playing with the Cloudposts then.

Nothing like paying 9 mana to put two creatures into play. Man, I love non-Vintage formats.  |

To be fair, that was actually 3 creatures a disturbing amount of the time - Kiki-Jiki, some guy (either Titan or Colossus), and the token that Kiki-Jiki made to bat you with. Ever play against another green deck when you got to Titan them twice a turn? That's awfully fair, right? This is the same deck that had Oblivion Stone, Mindslaver, and the Urzatron lands. Nice deck.

I'll still remind you that Meandeck Tooth and Nail was MY idea, and I successfully convinced several people that it actually existed. However, Ashok gets the credit for coming up with the duo of Worldgorger Dragon and Kiki-Jiki. |

Worldgorger Dragon and Kiki-Jiki.
Wait, that's Extended legal.... wtf? (granted you'd play Kiki and Sky-Hussar in extended now but, ya know before Dissension came out atleast Kiki+Gorger = infinite mana). |

Yeah, actually, we had no idea what you would do with the mana. The idea was to just tell people that we were doing that, and then let them figure it out for us.

Seeing as how you can stop the loop whenever you want (ya know, by not activating Kiki-Jiki)... just about anything could have worked... You could even draw your deck with Read the Runes/Whispers of the Muse (considering Tempest was still legal when T&N was first printed)... |

My choice is simple : Stasis decks when it was dominant. Haha..
Gotta luv this card.!
And I would add the deck "parfait". ( Base mechanic : Land tax / Scroll Rack / Zuran Orb )

Clysm is good against good decks. Geddon is better against scrubs, which is who I tend to play Emp.ArmorWW against. "Hm okay I'll Clysm and I've got Chrome Mox, Priest, Armor and Plains... leaving you with um, bad UW storage land from Time Spiral and Graxiplon... What's that? Oh, Repulse, fucking sweet." sigh  |
