I do B/W spirits and I've been thinking about R/W humans. R/G beasts is interesting but somewhat mediocre. Mono white cats headed by Anjani is just great.

Agreed, mono tribals are kind of boring to me though. Not to mention limited I will add them to the lists. By the way RW humans is pretty fun.

{W}{U} birds. Between {keeper of the nine gales} and {aven brigadier}, you can build a killer deck

{G}{R}{U} beasts. I built this around {aether charge}, using cards like {krosan warchief} and {krosan drover} to reduce costs, and used lots of small drop beasts early. Then I used {cryptic gateway} to use my small guys to sub in huge guys like {godsire} and other off color beasts. And just cause I was mean and didn't care what people thought, I had enough mana conversion to let me play {Nicol Bolas, Planeswalker}

I like water wizards personally, but wizards can be successful in any non-green shard/wedge/color pairing.

Mardu warriors is getting a lot of love. Though most lean towards Orzhov.

I'll have to see if I can dig up my old deck notes. I sold that deck, along with an Izzet deck built around {stuffy doll} and {Shivan meteor} and a {B}{W} cleric deck for $250

Please tell me it was the {Boros Reconner} + {Dictate of the Twin Gods} + {Shivan Meteor} + {Stuffy Doll} combo. Freaking loved that deck. I think it had the most damage in a non-infinite combo deck. Of course there was always the {Darksteel Plate}/{Indestructibility}x2 + {Boros Reconner}x2 + {Dictate of the Twin Gods}+ any burn for infinite damage.

It was not that deck. That deck was finished before Shards released. It had {Niv Mizzet the Firemind} and tons of draw, and {stuffy doll}, {Shivan meteor}, and tons of quick burn

I used to throw in {followed footsteps} when I would be playing against multiple decks. Copy {Stuffy Doll} until everyone was getting pinged. The. I would use global damage spells to hurt everyone, and global power pumps. Give them all +3 and trample. Watch them decide if blocking was worth it. The best one was using force blocks to make their big creatures hit the doll. Make their {Krosan Cloudscraper} block the doll.
