I saw an esper control deck list recently and I thought it looked very solid.  Win conditions were {Entreat the Angels} as a one of, {Nephalia Drownyard} and {Jace, Memory Adept} and otherwise really heavy on control.  It seemed very strong.
I made an esper control with Obzedat and Geraf's messenger as my main win con just flickering them as much as posible and it works really well I've played ageanst 19 people now and only lost 4 times

Lets do 5 color mana ramp into big beasties and board wipes and card draw. Lol

Coffee Vampire

Bant with splashed black for {Obzedat, Ghost Council} and {Nephalia Drownyard}, and maybe some sideboard stuff like {Sever the Bloodline}.

2-3 {Sphinx's Revelation}, probably just 2 because of all the things we must fit. But when you add a 7 drop like {Angel of Serenity}, ask yourself: would a sphinx's for 4 at instant speed be better than removal/recursion for 3 at sorcery?

I would say add 2 angels and 2 revelations to the deck. They both have good uses as 7 drops. {Thragtusk} seems like a good 3-of, and perhaps a single {Disciple of Bolas}. {Restoration Angel} seems like a good 2 of, and {Snapcaster Mage} as a 1 of maybe.

{Farseek} and {Blind Obedience} seem like good 2 drops. {Ranger's Parh} seems like a must in a 4 color green based deck.

If your gonna run bant I suggest fog banks as well. I mean a two drop aggression stopper is pretty damn good if you ask me

I think you guys are looking at this deck wrong. If you want a deck that always wins you need to have a deck that doesn't care about your opponent. A deck that can't be stopped in anyway and has only one purpose, deal 20 life. A deck that can't be touch by your opponent. You would run mainly strong creatures with hex proof that can either fly, are unblockable, can make your opponents cards not block, or just deal straight damage. That would be an unstoppable deck in my eyes.

That's not the purpose here. We're looking to build a deck that can adapt to any competitive deck and maintain a powerful stance against anything in the format. I'm sorry to tell you that none of the magikarp goldfish decks will be turning into a garydos in this format. The wincons are too varied for any one goldfish to beat them all. Auras is the closest to doing this though.

*Goldfish: deck that doesnt care what the opponent does.

 {Thragtusk},  {Boros Reckoner},  {Angel of Serenity},  {Sigarda, Host of Herons},  {Rhox Faithmender},  {Restoration Angel}.    I think these creatures are the best in the format at the time.  It's more midrange then anything.    Mix this with board wipes, card draw and counters.   I think it'd be pretty awesome.   If it is 75 cards total.  I think it'd be alright.  Something to try at least.

I don't know about what colours to use but I would love to see a deck that is made up to be competitive and fun but to not have the cards that every bloody deck has (eg,  {Thragtusk}, {Angel of Serenity} ect) but that is just me, I am a little over facing the same thing all the time.

Drewy

I wanna see boros humans that gets really aggressive and has {Blind obediance} so when they need to play blockers they cant

Ok guys the deadline is finally here!  And the deck we will build is BANT splashing black.  Now the win-con is still fuzzy so post a wincon.  I'm sorry if it seems like this deck is taking so long...

Disclaimer: I chose off the votes not my own opinion.  Sorry if your deck wasnt chosen.  The runners up was ESPER CONTROL, AND FIVE COLOR CONTROL.  we will not be using these decks though, but you still tied for 2nd!  So be happy in spirit! :)

27 land with a 3-4 {Nephelia drownyard}. Since we have green {alchemist's refuge} is also really good. Before i have to defend this land count, control can not afford to miss a land drop EVER, and mulliganing often leads to losing. With draw power and fetch this will be the proper count. (26 optional but only if a nephelia takes a sideboard slot against control).

Cool, but maybe 25 lands is more reasonable.  Because no one wants to be mana flooded.

I'm with Kaleo on this one though , having those two extra lands is great for not missing a single land drop which is the purpose of a good balance Control deck . Especially if we re trying to have a response for any angle of target to our resources , or threats.

Ok sure we will do 26/27 lands main deck.  Please post wincons guys so far theres only mill.
