I've always wondered what an unbeatable blue deck would look like with no restrictions whatsoever. An idea came to mind that i could literally build a deck that would mill any other deck out by simply overwhelming them with counterspells. Because of this, i included no mill cards and no draw effects. Platinum Angel protects from alternate win conditions that can't be countered (Banefire), but could be used to beat down an opponent who can't be milled.
Although i could never afford this deck, here is my idea of the end-all-be-all of draw-go goodness:
I mean with no restrictions, why simply use Basic land? Next I would use a few more powerful counter spells then Remand or Mana Leak. Plus Mana Draining a large spell they may get through plus an Academy would fuel a Banefire for more than enough to destroy an opponent. Next if I had to design a deck myself I don't know why, but I would build something for Tezzeret, I guess I just have a soft spot for him.
Now its not entirely Draw-Go nor do I think its as much controlish as King's style, but I think it would be fun, and given the money that would be the path along I would take for a deck.
Although i could never afford this deck, here is my idea of the end-all-be-all of draw-go goodness:
4 Counterspell
4 Mana Drain
4 Force of Will
4 Cryptic Command
4 Dissipate
2 Platinum Angel
Other: 18
4 Boomerang
4 Eye of Nowhere
4 Isochron Scepter
2 Spellbook
4 Mox Sapphire
20 Island

It would be hilarious if this deck lost by losing 20 life from using all 20 Force of Wills from something like a Mindslaver...
R: Copypasta Sauce {Browbeat}
UR: Mana Cache , One Spell to Bind them All {Magnetic Theft}
UG: Epic Struggle , All-In-Poison {Metamorphosis}
UW: Planar Overlay , Decree of the Bailiff {Saprazzan Bailiff}

If that actually happened, that would be the most awesome play EVER.
