...that just might work!
1) An Aggro deck with Yorion, Sky Nomad as a companion.
2) A deck using, aside from basic lands, only cards I've relegated to The Burn Pile (aka, The Pile of Infinite Sorrows; mistaeks war maid; banished to the Land of Shadows and Fog, where none return, and none are missed; BALEET FROM EXISTENCE; BLANKING IN PROGRESS; 404: File not found; etc.).
3) A deck with no winconAlready achieved in the Pro circuit with the infamous Demonic Consultation. I can't remember the particulars, and google is being no help at all, but I'm sure MaRo (or mebbe one of the other Old Guard on The Mothership) has written about it.
4) A deck that wins by casting Thieves' Auction multiple times, and making sure the opponent(s) get the best stuff (mebbe by taking only the lands).
5) An almost completely creatureless deck (I'll allow copies of Elvish Spirit Guide) that "wins" by casting Biorhthym turn 1, on an empty board.
7) A "Cheerios" deck, sans Paradoxical OutcomeNOT RESTRICTIVE ENOUGH! A deck that runs ONLY 
cost cards, ONLY /
cost abilities, and lands (for some reason).
8) Mana value 8 ONLY! THAT INCLUDES LANDS!!!
9) NO POOFTERS!Kynaios and Tiro of Meletis' Happy Funtime Selfcest Big Gay Orgy: Progenitor Mimic, Mirror Box/Gallery, Clones of all types, etc....
I am so sorry about that last one.
Ral: I'm not! *FAPFAPFAPFAP*
Teferi: Oh gods, it's gonna be another one of those articles, isn't it? If you need me, I'll be drinking sorghum beer until my spark is just as dead inside as you two make me.
10) Only cards that contain the letters that spell the number "ten", but only in non-English languages.
Ral: Ok, hold on, I'm still busy over on AO3 because of #9--
Really? That seemed awfully quick.
Ral: I'll have you know, I've cast Mage Hand, and--
I DON'T NEED TO KNOW!
Teferi: I DON'T NEED TO KNOW!
Ral: TO HELP ME TYPE, and--
MORE THAN I EVER NEEDED TO KNOW!!!
Teferi: MORE THAN I EVER NEEDED TO KNOW!!!
Ral: --these are some great ideas you're giving me--

Teferi: Pleasedon'tsayformoreslashficPleasedon'tsayformoreslashfic
Ral: --for deckbuilding.
Phew!
Teferi: Oh thank all the Gods in all the myriad Heavens of the Omniverse!
Ral: Also slashfic!
Aaaaaaaagh!
Teferi: *Vomits noisily* Great, now I'm no longer drunk! I'd make you suck up the former contents of my binge, but I'm afraid that it'll create a new fetish for you.
Ral: I hate to tell you this, big guy, but--
Teferi: NOT ANOTHER WORD! I DON'T NEED TO HEAR IT!!!
11) Only cards that feature characters that have been in AO3 stories.DAMMIT RAL, STOP POSTING YOUR OWN--waitaminute, this is actually a pretty good suggestion. Only cards that feature characters that have been in AO3 stories.
12) Pick a song. Including lands, build a deck with cardnames contained either partly or wholly within that song's lyrics. Bonus challenge: the number of copies of a card are limited by the number of times that or those words appear in the song. Extra bonus challenge: limit one word or string of words per card (i.e.: if you pick "of" for a card, aside from other copies of that one card, you can't include any other card that has the word "of" in it. Your choice on whether this means only in the name, or also in the text box {aside from the legal text, because Wizards of the Coast}).
13) A Triskaidekaphobia/Triskaidekaphile deck based entirely off of the Collatz sequence for 13.
14) A deck featuring only the numbers mentioned in the haggling scene.
15) An actually cohesive deck using only entries on this site. You're forbidden from using your own entries.
