Be sure to run 6 of each. also, 60 isn't the best amount of cards to have: the more the better. That way, you dominate the mirror.
This deck is good enough for vintage.
/this. seriously, sorrow's path is the greatest land ever printed, and putting it here may completely break the format in your area.
if you put in sorrow's path, prepare to easily conquer ptqs.

[xspoiler] WUBRG prismatic 250, selesnya themed U permission deck R 20-minute burn deck GU standard simic GWU infinite damage combo deck
Chaosphere was built to go with Sorrow's Path, but its inclusion might dilute the focus of this deck, unfortunately. On the upside it would add +10 to the brain explosion factor of an opponent.
Someone bring this to a tournament....you know you want to....
I plan to. Seriously.
I actually created the original (competitive) 0-casting cost deck which went 3-3 against some good decks. People cried. Once I finish tweaking my version, it will return. Oh yes, it WILL return.
The deck went through changes over time, but this was the list I could find in a pinch. At times I've had manlands like Treetop Village in it, and I went through a time when I had to add a Feldon's Cane to combat everyone else's. (BTW, my 3-3 record was one-on-one matches. I've played plenty of group games with this deck.) At one point, the deck I created was called "Six Degrees Above Absolute Zero". The deck included 1x Juju Bubble, 1x Feldon's Cane, 1x Crop Rotation, 1x Candelabra of Tawnos, and 2 other 1-drops that I can't remember right now.

They love and hate to see me walk through the door. I'm the man with the box, one to carry all his Standard cards with him. I've got the commons and uncommons they need. But I've also got my decks. If I walk into FNM, I came to play. And they never know what I'm gonna pull out of my hat next. I may lose more than I win, but it just might be THIS deck that has all the answers that they don't have answers for. They fear the unknown. They fear me. And they never see me coming!
treefrog u missed march of the machines in ur list
It's in the sideboard of my newest decklist (see a page or two back), but it's impossible that I missed it from my old decklist. Why? Because I built the deck BEFORE Mirrodin block, and I refuse to use my time machine to gain an unfair advantage like that. So therefore, I didn't have access to the card at the time.

What unstoppable deck, I don't see any unstoppable deck.
My new build consists of 60 copies of Herbal Poultice, because I saw no need for any other cards, being that it is the greatest.
I also play 61 cards in the deck, and the 61st card is another Herbal Poultice. Normally I would never play more than 60 cards but Poultice is too good to not include. The list was tight so instead of removing anything I just added another card.
I just realized. Mycoloth perfectly demonstrates the devour mechanic.

i dunno man, without the poultice, this wouldn't work.
i've been thinking though, maybe about adding some spellbooks? it's too bad we're keeping this in standard because there are a lot of great 0-drop artifact cards from early magic that would really add to the deck imho...gustha's scepter, crimson kobolds, and--this card COULD break the deck for vintage--delik's cone. using it with your unblocked squire? i don't want to imagine.

[xspoiler] WUBRG prismatic 250, selesnya themed U permission deck R 20-minute burn deck GU standard simic GWU infinite damage combo deck
This deck should be a lot of fun to play. I firmly believe that it is competitive enough to be a Tier 1 deck, given a little time. I had to discount the whole "56x Herbal Poultice" theme, because I want to be able to play without a disqualification. I know that I've had to sacrifice some of the strength of the deck to make it tourney-legal, but so be it. I also took out the Tarmogoyfs and green, focusing on a mono-blue theme instead. I'm just not sure yet what I want my sideboard to be. Can anyone make me any suggestions?
While I don't think this has the power of the original list, I can see it still dominating older formats.
Perhaps you are forgetting one of the more poultice powering devices: Welding Jar?

Hell, I side them for the mirror. The power to clear the field of all Herbal Poultices is astounding.
Yeah, but if you're going to side them in for the mirror, you should also run Darksteel Forge. Because Indestructible Herbal Poultice wins every time!

Hell no! I just give my Herbal Poultices a proper burial, thank them for their service and hand the broken hearted Tarmogoyf a tissue. Then I play some more.

That's a coward's excuse.
For something constructive, I would like to point out that Vesuva comes into play tapped, a tempo disadvantage. Try Dark Depths instead.
You need to streamline that thing. No way you'll draw the one Battle of Wits! Make that 59 Dark Depths, 1 Battle of Wits and you'll draw it more regularly.
But otherwise you might lose in the mirror!
