My metagame is hard to crack open, here was the last listing of decks with the top 4 in bold.
 
Which archtype would be best against this type of metagame?

Manaless Ichorid
Mono Green Elves
Squirrel’s Nest Combo
Goblins
U/W Fish
Dragon
Goblins
Mono Green Aggro
Platinum Control
Eternal Witness/Ghostway/Time Walk Combo
Isochron Scepter Deck
Stax Rogue
Dragon
Tyrant Oath
Oath
R/G Beatz
Stax
Mono Red Workshop Aggro

Does anyone have any suggestions?

Pure combo beats that top 4.

Personally I'd run GAT. Not because everyone's doing it, but because its the best choice considering that meta.

Isn't everyone playing it because it's the best choice for most meta's? (Mine included)

No offense but that meta looks awefully scrubby.  Id just pick any of the following:  Tknought, GAT, Ponderlong, MUD, Oath or Empty Gush.  Then practice a little bit, get a comfortable sideboard, and you shouldnt have a problem beating up on that meta.

Various Bomberman builds could probably take out that meta.  It looks like Force of Wills make up less than half of the meta.

Personally I'd take Workshop aggro over anything else. If tuned right it can deal with most anything there.
In my build I use Duplicant (3), Stingscourger(4) and 9ballz. I have about 50% vs oath and gat. And I run Leyline sided for anything graveyard based decks. But I also agree with some of the other posts, Combo would do very well in that meta.

Ok boys, we need a pack of cigs and some crisco. Why crisco? It's gonna get weird.

Well, my problem is solved, I got GAT ready for next week. But there's more...

I'm introducing a friend to T1 next week. He usually plays every other non-Eternal format. After taking a look through his cards, I can concur that he has a lot of the main staples for a Fish deck. This is probably a good deck for him as well, since it's a good transition deck. He has many disruptive/staple creatures and spells in each colour, the only thing he is going to need to pick up would be Force of Wills. Anyways, he is really a hardcore winner, and he wants to know what type/colours of fish would be best for the meta.

What do you guys think?

The most common, and probably strongest, build of Fish around right now is W/U/b.  There's a pretty in-depth thread you can read through that examines some of the newer lists and how to deal with the more creature-heavy metagame as of late.  http://www.themanadrain.com/index.php?topic=31880.0

If you're looking for something different, there's a good article about a new build of Sullivan Sollution with 'goyf, another Fish-like build.  http://www.themanadrain.com/index.php?topic=35164.0.

The Vintage Open Forum is always a good place to check for this sort of question.

Really? Because, Im undefeated in tournament play versus combo with ichorid. That includes gencon, scg Indy and chi-town day 1.
What you should run, GAT or some form of baghdad bob. Bob is so flexible, it can deal with any deck and any random piece that comes around.
