Wally hinted that we have been brewing up a conspiracy theory of the ages that is based around deck design and deck play. In its simplified form here goes...
Our theory is based on the fact that all the pros secretly want to play Pyromancer's Ascension type decks, because it is the most powerful card in current standard and when it is online is nigh unbeatable. Unfortunately for all these pros, some crazy deck designer came up with the Quest deck. Because of this deck's popularity, low costs, and high win percentage people have been playing it like crazy and yet pros continue to hate on it. Why?
Because if the Quest deck gains in popularity eventually people's sideboards will start reflecting this popularity and will move artifact/enchantment hate into relevance. The unintended side effect of all this artifact/enchantment hate directed at Quest and Equipment means that Pyromancer's Ascension would also suffer greatly. Therefore many pros have committed themselves to claiming the Quest deck is not a real deck in order to hide their true pet deck of choice...Pyromancer's Ascension!
In order to combat this and to force the meta to adapt let me share some stats with you...the quest deck costs less than $150 to build, it has an MTGO win percentage of over 60% (courtesy of TCGplayer.com), and has a good amount of draws that simply can not be beat...period.
If you want a cheap deck that smashes the competition I would look no further than the Quest Deck. Check out a list here--> http://magic.tcgplayer.com/db/deck.asp?deck_id=721890
As always Happy Gathering!
