The deck: Fast Elves that create their own mana so you can shut mana down with an Armageddon. The trick is to get enough out there FAST and do an Armageddon or two to clear all mana without self-inflicting pain -I.E. Llanowar Elves!
The deck never lost except against my animate "Horrible Surprise" -which only really needs 2 or 4 mana to win and is just as fast with nightmare heavies. Otherwise, this deck was un-beatten at the time -those elves are FAST.

In practical play, the stress was pulling enough green mana OR a plain to cast Armageddon- which was always a surprise so early in the game- no one expects it, let alone the second or third.

Plowunder doesn't really fit but I played it and the first time it's used to return mana to my own deck catches people by surprise. I still think it's a waste. Not sure what else might work better- some weanie white creature or effect?
