Hi All!
Below are 4 decks that look to be fun to play with, but also competitive. Most of them are not mine, so I have listed a source to show you where the original decklist came from.
Esper Loner (original decklist by Matt Higgs - Star City Games
2 Cathedral of War
2 Drowned Catacomb
3 Evolving Wilds
6 Island
1 Moorland Haunt
8 Plains
2 Swamp
24 lands
1 Fettergeist
3 Hussar Patrol
3 Invisible Stalker
2 Lone Revenant
1 Nefarox, Overlord of Grixis
10 creatures
3 Azorius Charm
3 Azorius Keyrune
1 Demonmail Hauberk
3 Divine Reckoning
4 Forbidden Alchemy
3 Homicidal Seclusion
4 Lingering Souls
1 Runechanter's Pike
4 Ultimate Price
26 other spells
This list, originally designed by Matt Higgs, author of Untapped on StarCityGames and author of the Untap Target Player MTG Blog (which gave me a lot of inspiration to start this blog!), is about only having one creature on the board, which is pretty easy with cards like Divine Reckoning and Demonmail Hauberk. I liked the look of it, so I have started gathering the cards for it. I only need to get one more Revenant, 1 Cathedral of War, 1 Homicidal Seclusion and all 3 Divine Reckoning.

Jund Feud (original decklist by Matt Higgs) - Untap Target Player
4 Dragonskull Summit
3 Evolving Wilds
10 Forest
1 Kessig Wolf Run
4 Mountain
2 Swamp
24 lands
4 Elvish Visionary
3 Galvanic Juggernaut
2 Manor Gargoyle
1 Primal Clay
3 Stuffy Doll
4 Volatile Rig
17 creatures
3 Blasphemous Act
4 Farseek
2 Guild Feud
3 Rakdos Keyrune
2 Rakdos's Return
1 Tragic Slip
2 Treasured Find
17 other spells
1 Garruk, Primal Hunter
1 Vraska the Unseen
2 planeswalkers
This is list has been a lot of fun to playtest. I have almost gotten all the cards for it, I'm only off 2 Farseeks. Guild Feud is one of the most fun cards ever, and the Volatile Rigs create a lot of suspense.
Once again, thank you Matt Higgs for the inspiration!

Izzet Clones (original decklist by Kevin Klotz) - Facebook - KlotzProductions
1 Desolate Lighthouse
10 Island
4 Izzet Guildgate
9 Mountain
24 lands
1 Charmbreaker Devils
4 Clone
4 Dungeon Geists
4 Izzet Staticaster
4 Zealous Conscripts
17 creatures
4 Cackling Counterpart
3 Izzet Charm
4 Pillar of Flame
2 Rolling Temblor
4 Searing Spear
17 other spells
2 Chandra, the Firebrand
2 planeswalkers
Thanks to Kevin Klotz, there is another interesting, budget-friendly decklist. The deck's main goal is to have the opponent play a very good creature with an ETB effect (Thragtusk, anyone?), copy their copy with a Clone, then make copies of your copy with more Clones of Cackling Counterpart. Or you can make multiple copies of your own creatures (which hold off your opponents' creatures). I still have quite a few cards to get before the decklist is finished (4 Dungeon Geists, 3 Zealous Conscripts, 1 Cackling Counterpart, 1 Rolling Temblor and 1 Chandra, the Firebrand)
Kevin made some comments on Facebook about playtesting his deck. To see his original decklist and the comments, cluck on the link above the decklist.
Mono-Black Rat Discard (original list by ME!) - Attacking 4 Lethal
21 Swamp
21 lands
3 Blood Artist
4 Drainpipe Vermin
4 Pack Rat
4 Ravenous Rats
3 Typhoid Rats
18 creatures
1 Dead Weight
3 Duress
4 Mind Rot
1 Murder
4 Shrieking Affliction
3 Sign in Blood
2 Ultimate Price
3 Tragic Slip
21 other spells
While it may look like a bunch of inefficient Rats and discard spells, this deck actually works. While being the most budget-friendly of the 4 decklists, it is probably one of the most competitive. I have playtested against both aggro, midrange and control, and the deck does okay against each. Pack Rat is an all star, as you can discard excess lands to it. There are also other Rat creatures in the deck that both pump Pack Rat and strip your opponent of their cards.
I have almost collected all the cards for this deck to, I'm only off 3 Ravenous Rats!
Anyway, just thought I would share these with y'all. I will probably be playing one of these decks at the next tournament that go to, so be ready!
I will also put a new poll up asking which of the decks you either want me to play next, or which deck is your favourite!
Until next time, good luck when you attack 4 lethal!
Callum
