My deck, S3xual Chocolate, is based on modifications I made to a version
of Butterknives I wanted to play for the toc. While normal, mono-b versions
of Butterknives do quite well against Keeper, BBS, and other control decks,
I found that there were times when they would just top deck something and
win (Morph, balance, FoF into stroke into mind twist, etc).
I started making small changes; adding Jester's Caps to the board, md-ing
Necro, I even experimented with Haunting Echoes (didn't work very well!). I
decided to add blue for time walk, ancestral, and Serendib Efreets, taking
out the Juzam's altogether, because of fear of moat, and mana drain. But
since most Keeper no longer main deck moat, Dibs became Chimeric Idols
which eventually became War Beasts.
Individual Card choices:
Diabolic Edict: A no-brainer, this. Kills Morph dead.
Yawgmoth's Will: Nothing to see here folks, just plain, old fashioned
brokeness. Snatches victory from the jaws of defeat.
Demonic Tutor, Lim-Dul's Vault, Ancestral Recall: Demonic Tutor speaks for
itself. Lim Dul's Vault replaces Vamp Tutor, as the ability to set up your
next 5 card draws can be powerful in a topdecking war. Ancestral Recall I
agonize about constantly as it's yet another spell that can be Misdirected.
It's helped more times than it's hurt, though.
Nevinyrral's Disk: Blows up stuff that I would lose too. Abyss, Morphling,
Scroll, Moxen, Moat.
Hymn to Tourach, Duress, Mindtwist: All these could easily have been Mana
Drain, FoW and MisD, but then I'd be playing a different deck, and this
deck is suboptimal enough without having to added counterspells into the
mix.
Hypnotic Specter: 1st turn Hyppie is strong, but he's pretty useless when
your opponent has nothing to discard. More on that later.
Masticore, Phyrexian War Beast: Gets around Abyss. Simple as that. 1 md
Core had to be put in to help the first game against aggro, which is
consitantly a poor matchup. Seldom cast vs. control due to it being a mana
drain target and card disadvantage.
Phyrexian Negator: If you're playing Dark Ritual and you're not playing
with him, what the hell ARE you playing?

I decided right away to not play control because, quite frankly, Apprentice is not something I want to spend hours at a time playing on with someone I don't
know. Also, playing aggro lets me feel seperate from some of the silly people on the mills who throw out ignorant claims about how control is always better
than aggro. And if nothing else, I'll have justified all those copies of Fire/Ice that have made their way into Keeper.
The maindeck is pretty obvious. I always maindeck non-basic hate in T1 red, and I went with Price of Progress over Dwarven Miner or Blood Moon because,
well, if I'm going to play stupid burn, then lets play with the burn. I'll have to see if the full complement of Barbarian Rings is ideal. They mean I'm
actually providing a target for Wasteland, and I'm pretty bloody low on things to sacrifice to Fireblast.

The 10 combo pieces speak for themselves. The Drawers have a huge
consistency factor in getting the Ancestral Recall early on, or the famous
Intuition-Accumulated Knowledge engine, which suits very well in this deck,
because of Intuition being able to get the combo-enchantments into the
graveyard as well.
I had to cut some very cool cards to include the 8 permission spells, which
I really wanted because I want to have some defense vs. cards like Mind
Twist or just to counter back when I want Replenish to resolve for the win.
This deck isn't the fastest Replenish deck, but being as fast as possible
isn't the goal of this deck. This deck tries to combo more consistently and
with better tools to combat control decks.

I know that people knock combo decks all over the
place on the mills, but I'm not one of them. The
counter spells help ensure that my combo pieces get
through and are protected. The deck can achieve 3rd
turn kill with counter backup or sooner with a perfect
draw. Rushing River takes care of any Moat effects or
other nasty permanents that slip through, while all
the card drawing makes sure I find the combo. One
Morphling maindeck, gives me an important alternate
win condition in case the combo can't go off.

COMMENTARY
** 4 Impulse: I am one of those Keeper players who
secretly yearns for this card. Two of these were Fact
or Fictions, one was a Merchant Scroll, and one was a
Mystical Tutor. The 4th Fact of Fiction became a
Stroke of Genius. This maintains the color balance,
increases early-game speed, and is wonderful with
Yawgmoth's Will.
** 1 Fire/Ice: I know it isn't unusual, but I like
this card so much that I wanted to make a special
comment about it - the foily ones have 2 schwings!
** 2 Seal of Cleansing: I like the feel of two of
these; after TOC5 I may go to 1 Bubble Bath and one
Ancestral Disenchant (D-Blow).
** The title: It's what I have playing on my stereo.

Explenation:
This deck is a deck I own that I feel most comfortable playing. It has efreets, benefits from creature kill from Cathodian and Su-Chi, and can outrace some
arrgo. Not only does it play out focused and show the power of blue and arrgo, but it also is incredibly fun. I named it that just to throw people off.
Card Choices:
Island: They are good at giving me blue mana
Wasteland: Disruption, also this deck doesn't care if no blue mana arives
Mishra's Factory: Chump blockers vs cards like Sacromancy and Negator, and simple damage.
Tolrain Academy: With all the artifacts in this deck, a huge stroke, ton of creatures, or jar is played with reletive ease.
Strip Mine: Disruption, like wasteland.
Mana Crypt: Since I have lots of */4's, I can block and stay at good life and this is 2 mana for 0.
Sol Ring, all of the Mox's, and Black Lotus: Good mana.
Cathodion: 3/3 for 3, which comes out 1st turn, and benifits from death.
Serendib Efreet: 3/4 flying for 3, sounds good to me.
Phyrexian War Beast: 3/4 for 3, although negators and morphlings can abuse this card, bolts can't reach it and it's pretty good.
Masticore: The weenie killer, hard to kill, cool artifact lion.
Juggernaut: Fast and aggresive.
Su-Chi: Same as Cathodian but not as good.

The deck is based off of the Urza-era type two deck Flores Black, a control black deck using a tutor base to fetch some silver bullets against various
strategies. After game one, the sideboard allows the deck to convert into one of several more focused configurations. There's plenty of anti-control and
anti-creature cards. The Snow-Covered Swamps were originally added in case I wanted to try Tainted Pact, but I left them in anyway, as I can think of no
situation in which they'd be detrimental and they can always act as a decoy.

This is a fairly standard Underworld Dreams deck, but I'll explain a few odd choices:
Scroll Rack: Doesn't come in handy all that often, but when I need it, it's there. Just a backup in case I can't find that next draw7 and don't have some
tutoring in hand(like I said, isn't an issue often, but momentum is everything in this deck, so I run 2 copies just to make sure)
Lim-Dul's Vault: Little regarded tutoring, it allows you to rearrange the top 5 of your library. If you don't like those, try the next 5. Index on
steroids. Not really playable in any deck except this one, I think. Here, it's golden. Vamp Tutors #2 and #3. At 2 mana, it's far better than diabolic
tutor, and it fits the decks two main colors.
REB: A new addition to the deck, it replaces what used to be two addles, I have yet to playtest this, but it should be more effective.
Force of Will: Notable because I left it out of the deck, straying from conventional wisdom. In order to run force in this deck, you need to run
sub-optimal blue cards you can pitch to it. I used to run 4 force, 2 drain, and all I ever ended up pitching to FoW was another force or a drain.
Absolutely useless, as far as I'm concerned. Maybe in versions running impulse, but then again, impulse isn't all that useful either, I'd rather play
lim-dul's vault(and yes, I used to run impulse, they got taken out for vaults, just simply better).
Tainted Pact/Demonic Consultation: I don't play either of these because there's not a single card in the deck that I'd be comfortable with seeing removed,
except maybe time spiral after it's been cast =). After the tournament, I'll look into running 2 tainted pacts. Until then, tried and true....
Diminishing Returns: Doesn't require the opponent to draw, and again, the whole removing cards from the game thing, everything in the deck can be of the
utmost importance(except maybe a scroll rack when you already have one in play). Even if it's 10 lands, I still don't like to see stuff disappear
permanently.
