Greetings!
Today shall mark the start of the 6-week campaign in making an attempt to reconstruct the 'perfect' deck. The last such a deck was seen was about a year ago, during the time of Return to Ravnica. The deck was U/R, Izzet mainly, focused on spell-proliferation and replication. On this 6-week journey we will go over all possible cards, Blue, Red, Blue-Red multi, Blue-Red hybrid, and artifacts too. All necessary components considered and analyzed in order to recreate the perfect deck.
The deck would be used against the Anti-Deck deck (U/B deck I mentioned in another topic), but would need to be at least stronger than its predecessor tenfold. If most of the cards would only have one or two copies in the deck, then the milling standard of the Anti-Deck would immediately counteract the deck's plans and back-up plans. Also, the deck shouldn't be 50/50 in terms of offense and defense. From past data, the Anti-Deck contains two main groups of cards: Counterspells and Mill Spells. Mill Spells will probably mill out some good cards, while Counterspells would prevent me from casting the good cards that are left. Unless I construct the deck in such a way that both of these actions can be slowed or prevented, the Anti-Deck would remain undefeated.
There are however, rumors that the Perfect Deck may be reincarnated as a different match of colors, some even saying a three-colored deck (sadly the current Jeskai (U/R/W) couldn't do shit on the Anti-deck deck), but right now, there are only three choices (based on primary and intuitive, based-from-experience and some arbitrary data reasons):
1. U/R Izzet - Most basically speaking, Blue for counter spells (which would take about 65% of the nonland cards at most) and card-drawing spells (which doesn't sound all-together good because the more you draw the faster your deck runs out, in relation to the Mill cards the Anti-Deck has and relative to the opponent's deck). Red for Burn spells (hopefully with replicate) and removal. This deck would focus mostly on spellcasting rather than creature-summoning, but cards like Mnemonic Wall (unless I get more than 1 copy or it doesn't get milled ahead of time) and Izzet Chronarch would help, and especially Djinn Illuminatus (Again, assuming it doesn't get milled early).
2. G/B Golgari - Opponent mills. I dredge. Hopefully I can swing for lethal in 8-10 turns.
3. Mirror U/B Anti-anti-deck deck - Obviously.
Further details will be announced every two-days, unless specially required to do so.
