My LGS is having a tournament where everyone plays a deck where everything in it is a common card, and they all have to be the same. Obviously we get lands.
I was thinking either a {bronze sable} deck
(For Llama)
Or all {Llanowar elves}
{Lightning Bolt}

{Lightning Bolt}
I don't have 40 of them. I was however thinking of {shock}
{Ponder} because card advantage kills

{Lightning Bolt}
I'm pretty sure that just wins. That sounds ridiculously easy. Turn 1 Bolt. Turn 2 double bolt, turn 3 double bolt. Top deck and just get there.
10 {Mountain}s
50 {Lightning Axe}s
With {Lightning Bolt}s you win Turn 4, with {Lightning Axe}s, you win turn 3 (assuming you don't pull a ton of lands and/or don't get screwed). Plus, to pull a turn 3 win with {Lightning Axe}s, you just need a land turn one and another one on turn 3.

Lightning axe says target creature only.
I'd say either Glacial Ray or Surging Flame.
{Glacial Ray} gives you value off of having more copies in your hand and basically functions as if you had even more than you already had.
Having like, 15-20 Mountains and 40-45 {Surging Flame}, however. You might just always kill people on Turn 2.
I'm still going mana elf
{Surging Flame} or {Surging Sentinel}
{Thought Scour} could work, too, since it replaces itself, though Mill is much slower than damage.
{Surging Sentinels} also provides an Aggro strategy, if you wanted to go with that.
I'm still thinking Flames is the way to go if you want to actually kill people. And kill them fast.

Oh god I'm going sentinels
Tier 1 (Turn 2 Kill):
45 {Surging Flame}, 15 Mountain
Tier 2 (Turn 4 Kill):
39-40 {Surging Sentinels}, 20-21 Plains
Tier 3:
everything else.
With 40-45 of the Ripple cards, you should be able to consistently ripple through your deck to just kill people. You're welcome for solving the format for you! Have fun!
Here's hoping no {Elecktrickery}
But how would they win? Got have creatures, burn or mill for any deck to work in this format! and Electrickery doesn't hit players

If I were going to this event, I would be the guy running {mana leak}. It's fun to mess with people :)) only in good spirit though.
I considered {Squadron hawk}
I feel like {Rune Snag} could be much cuter than Counterspell. But if you want something not completely broken, {Sound the Call} builds up value pretty quickly.
I feel you are obligated to play the ripple card -.- its such a dumb idea with that out
Ripple ability is kind of OP, 3-4 turns, endless Ripple :)
{Flame Burst}
Nah surging sentinels/flame are definitely best, hard to argue

Woot!!!
Unfortunately, lightning bolt or squad hawk will win
i thought i had an eye defect, i red {Llamawar Elves} lol
{Blighted Agent} or {Suture Priest}
I ended up taking first. 80 damage turn two is hard to beat
{Surging flame}
So glad to hear it worked

Heres exactly what the guy managing the tournament said. "We made this tournament to keep people off of stupid combos. Well that didn't work"

You're welcome!
Also, fully expecting Surging Flame to be banned the next time, I recommend Surging Sentinels. Or what if they made it so could use any number of two different commons to try and balance it out? Then you run 40 Surging Flame and 20 {Simian Spirit Guide}. Win t0.
