   Goblins (Red) My specialty
4 Skirk Prospector
4 Golin Warchief
4 Goblin Goon
4 Goblin Piledriver
4 Goblin Grappler
4 Sulfuric Vortex
4 Lightning Bolt
2 Wave of Indifference
2 War Cadence
4 Pyrite Spellbomb

Nothing is faster and more brutal than goblins. Seriously, try and think of something else. Play the Prospector turn one, the warchief turn two, and a pair of Piledrivers turn three. That's 18 damadge in the first three turns if your opponent can't block. Drop the Goon or a sulfuric Vorex on turn four, and your opponent will scoop every time.

   Dreamborn Muse Abuse (Blue and Green)
4 Dreamborn Muse
4 Steely Resolve
4 Isochron Scepter
4 Counterspell
4 Prosperity
4 Moment's Peace
4 Gaea's Blessing
4 Brainstorm
4 Wheel and Deal
10 Island
8 Forest

Now, you can't tell me this isn't a good idea. Dreamborn Muse is one of the worst cards in Magic, when used incorrectly. With Gaea's Blessing, you can't deck yourself. Unfortunately, your opponents probably won't be so lucky. Should they empty their hand, a timely Wheel and Deal or Prosperity will reload them to maximize the pain. And, in the unlikely event that all the Gaea's Blessings in your deck wind up in your hand, a Brainstorm will put them right on top, ready to shuffle that graveyard back where it belongs.

   Myr Matrix Madness (Red and Blue)
4 Mana Echoes
4 Myr Matrix
4 Vedalken Engineer
4 Mana Flare
4 Accumulated Knowledge
4 Aether Burst
4 Isochron Scepter
4 Counterspell
9 Island
9 Mountain

I know what you're thinking: "What is this moron thinking? Does he know how hard it is to build a good red/blue deck?" Well, I think I did a good job this time. One of each of your blue instants on an Isochron Scepter means solid defense until you drop the big bomb: Myr Matrix. When you drop that and Mana Echoes on the board, just put out five tokens (Which won't be too hard with all of the mana from Mana Flare and Vedalken Engineer) and then Mana Echoes will begin to produce infinite mana and infinite Myr tokens. If beating someone down with infinite creatures isn't good enough for you, add a Fireball.
