My LGS has got a competitive multi-player EDH tournament coming up, where everyone is sure to be running fully-tuned 'spikey' lists. I am more familiar with and have more experience with French List. When asked, people have recommended playing Breya, Atraxa, Scion of the Ur-Dragon (Hermit Druid Combo), and Brago Stax. So, what is the deck(s) to beat in the format right now? What should I be expecting? Any help is really appreciated.
You should also be looking out for Zur/Jeleva Doomsday or Storm decks, Derevi stax, some flavor of Food Chain deck, maybe Yisan?
As to what you should play, you should play whatever you feel most familiar with. Even if Doomsday is the best deck in the format (debatable), not having thorough exp with the deck will drop your win% by a lot.

Darcykun has it right exactly. Knowing your weapons is what will get you the furthest. Know your mana ramp, how everything works together, the different win-cons...that will put you on top even against Timmy Jackson with a Tier 1 deck.
