Decks that use Cabal Therapy. Probably one of the more skill intensive cards in the format. It rewards players who have a good sense of what cards, what number of copies, what causes the most problems for your deck, and what is likely the sideboard tech of each deck in the format.
Goblins is also a blast, despite rarely getting lackey to stick (although making an opponent use Force of Will on it first turn and allowing for Aether Vial to land turn two, is rewarding in itself).
I like tempo/thresh decks because they can be tuned and tweaked according to a large variation of meta-games. It can switch between aggressive and control game-plan and there's a lot of interaction between you and your opponent. Unless you're playing against someone who's playing goldfish.dec Still, then, you have to either race or find your hate-cards in time.
But I tend to dislike cheating huge creatures or broken stuff into play, or go infinite. I like to win, but not in that manner
Sometimes I like Tempo (Team America, Bant Aggro).
Sometimes I like the possibility of winning on Turn 1 (ANT).
Sometimes I like beating face (Gobbos).
Sometimes I like complicated challenging and Consistent decks (High Tide, ANT with Doomsday Board).
Sometimes I like Rogue Combo (Bomberman)
I Rarely use Control (just not my play style; Tempo decks are as close to Control as I use; However, If I do play control is MUC or Geddon-Staxx)
TL;DR: I like fast, challenging combos turn 1-3 kills, Mindless swinging with critters, or Tempo (premission-like control whilst swinging with Cheap Fatties).
Not sure about major archetypes, but I always really enjoy Reanimator/Dredge/Ceph B-Fast, Show and Tell/NO/anything that allows you to make fatties in naughty ways
For me it's Small Zoo. T1 Arid Mesa into Savannah and Loam Lion is my favourite opening move. Deck took more than 7 months to build because of expensive duals but it's worth the money. Really fun to play.
combo decks are usually fun, especially since goldfishing is so much more enthralling. (Have you ever tried goldfishing and solo-playing a control deck? egh -.-) Aggro decks are also fun. I personally like playing ANT, Maverick, High Tide, and other cute/cool combos they have over at modern.
I think its entirely dependent upon what you enjoy. Ask yourself what strategies you enjoy playing? How do you enjoy winning your games?
After stalling out your opponent for a while and then laying a bomb and riding that to victory? If so, choose one of many control decks.
Do you enjoy stalling your opponent for a little while then winning in a long flurry of spells? Play high tide.
Do you enjoy going for it right at the beginning? Several different types of combo decks exist. Some want more protection and some want less protection.
Do you like grinding it out with quality threats backed by a little removal and a bit of toolboxiness? Play either stoneblade or maverick.
Do you like laying down an early threat and then out tempoing your opponent? Play RUG.
Like the pure philosophy of fire? Play mono red burn.
And so on to match your personality style. Some people love dredge, others enchantress. I love loam builds with EE + academy ruins.
I like playing disruption and combo decks, but combo decks that do NOT win on the spot. (Thoptersword, etc)
I have picked up a stax a few months ago and am loving it. It's so much fun playing a deck that isn't fun to play against. It's interesting to see how your opponents will try to get out of the bind, and usually they just get snared even more.
Dredge has to be one of my favorites. Pooping zombie tokens out of nowhere and just the way you only play so few cards from your hand is fun.
Also Im a big fan of Death and Taxes though I avent played in a while.

Personally I enjoy toolbox decks with a ton of different interactions like Maverick, and Bant which has a little bit of everything. The fact that there are so many different ways to win with these decks makes them a lot of fun. To a lesser extent I also enjoy playing control-type decks such as Stoneblade and Tempo.
Crap like Storm Combo just doesn't do it for me, where pretty much the only interaction you care about is whether or not your opponent has Force of Will.
I love playing mono-colored aggro-controlish decks personally. I love both The Gate and Death and Taxes. Might try out blue at some point in the future as well.

Forgemaster decks are an absolute blast to play. Only problem is the inconsistency. Half the time you get hands that are on par with Vintage plays, half the time you get hands that kinda derp and do nothing.
Liliana 2.0 is my favorite planeswalker to date so anything that gets to play her is fun for me as well.
Ooooh and Pernicious Deeds. One of the most satisfying cards ever made imo.
Outside of Pox decks, what decks do Liliana 2.0 fall under? I'm looking for a home for her.
Personally, I love toolbox decks, or decks that offer a lot of decisions, lines of plays, interaction, and options. To this end, decks like Maverick, Stoneblade, and Bant fit me the best. I also like discard and hand knowledge a lot, so a splash of black is ideal in the decks I like to run (easy to do with Stoneblade, but seems a little hard to fit into Bant and Maverick).
Reprints the one card that people point to when saying that art objectifies women.
Well done Wizards.
Liliana does not objectify women in any way at all. We have gotten to a point in our society that every single picture of a women must be objectifying a women in some negative way......blah blah blah.. That is not the case. (((Sarcasm)))Picture of a girl drinking a milk shake, must be sex related and putting women down, picture of girl sitting on a beach, picture of a girl driving a car, picture of a girl on the moon at a new space station.)))
You have a picture of an attractive strong power women who girls dress up as for anime conventions. What more do you want? The picture is fine, happy to see a reprint. Sick of of seeing people claim that everything in existence must be putting women down. Then all I have to do is replace the word "women" with anything else to get the same mentality; fish, cats, arabs, blacks, jews, men, environment, whites, chinese, old people, etc. It doesn't matter what word I put in. Stop sucking life out of everything man. That artwork of her is awesome. Stop putting stuff down man. Just stop. If the picture was really as negative as you claim she would totally nude, in a kitchen, making sandwiches and giving blow jobs. Her abilities would be horrible as well. +1 do nothing -2 do nothing -6 do nothing. Instead liliana of the veil is an amazing planeswalker comparable to jace, the mind sculpter with great art to appreciate.
My suggestion listen to some comedy radio for a while, pandora is free, youtube is free there is something out there for you. ***** go make fun of somebody. The whole world is so serious and campaigning for some cause, or someones rights, everything is a hate crime, racist, sexist. blah blah blah.
"O no mcdonalds must be slandering a hate crime against skinny people every time they make a big mac." hahaha jeeze You're just someone perpetuating another groups negative perspective that they've made you believe is correct. Look at the picture for a hour and tell me what's wrong with it? I don't see anything.
I have heard vague rumors of a moustache-dispensing vending machine in a distant laundromat, across the street from a tattoo parlor. However, this information is shaky, and time is of the essence.
Recently for me it has been Hive Mind it is such an adrenaline rush when you cast Intuition (one of the scariest cards ever to watch resolve IMO).
The mana games are always interesting. I love casting Intuition off of Grim Monolith +Island Oh yeah i have Daze mana floating...sorry:D
And who doesn't love a deck that runs 8 Force of Wills
Plus this is the only deck I have ever played that before my opponent passes to me I think to myself I have to WIN THIS TURN OR I AM DEAD. And it happens all the time it brings great satisfaction to the game..... for me of course

Resolving and Balancing Act and landing a terravore that kill in two swing is pretty fun.
The deck is some what cheap and pretty fun, not hard to pilot (despite of being a combo deck)
