I like the idea of sorcery/instant decks. my friend had one that worked pretty well, but you need good cards for it. My friend also had a madness deck. If you get the right draw, you can play up to 5 creatures on the first turn. it's hard to make the perfect deck though. I usually find a deck that really works, then I spend hours upon hours building a deck that will beat that deck, then build a deck that will beat that one, and so on.
I have been playing mostly EDH lately. I have token deck with Rhys being the general and a U/R fatty deck with Jhoira of the Ghitu as the General. The latter is my favorite.
i use a black-white deck to drain the life of the enemy while i increase mine. but it is not perfect. i have also a red, a red-white, a green-white, a blue, a blue-black-white and a green-red deck.
