pretty casual deck, it was not even a 60 card deck, heck we didn't even played correctly back on those days.
i remember that we used the land cards as the home of the creature and that it cannot be used again until the creature was dead, or something like that, crazy stuff.
@SavannahLion i get your point, and yes, back in the mid 90's automated options were not common nor convenient. but i still think that if the goal is to test, you can use proxys, hell, even a piece of paper with the name of the card on it is viable, maybe also back in the days cards were not as expensive as today, so it was not that of a problem.
At least for me, (not in the US) it will be a imposible to afford x8 copies of each fetch, shockland, or modern staple, and as a matter of fact i would felt guilty to have those cards in hold with minimal use, when i could trade them with someone else who could used them.
pretty similar to OPs, however I see the use of colorless more on the spy network of the dimir agents. and the creation of manlands in simic experiments
First game 2-0 was against some kind of TRON U deck, didn't run any of the common stuff, so it was a strange match altogether.
Second game 2-1 against Living End. first match got destroyed by turn 4 Living End, second and third game Scooze was an all-star
Third game 2-0 vs Affinity. first match was a big strategic as i removed their most important treats with paths and bolts, second match landed an unanswered kataki and it was easy from there.
fourth game 2-1 against storm, first match i make some really dumb misplays and cracked my fetches in a bad way, second match i side in thalia and some Dromoka's and won both matches in a very strategic match as well
so to summary, i sense the deck is very strong, and for sure we have tier 1 potential in our hands
it's from the BattleTech universe, i used to play a lot of MechWarrior miniatures game back in the date and the one of my pic, the Hellstar, was an amazing miniature.
I'll try to mix up one of the favorite cycles, The Lord Cycle from Onslaught and the return of the Eldrazi to create:
All-in-One 11
Creature - Eldrazi Lord (4/5)
~ Cost 1 less to cast for each Eldrazi in the battlefield and each Eldrazi card in all graveyards.
Tap five untapped Eldrazi you control: Return all Eldrazi creature cards from all graveyards to the battlefield under your control.
i would say each LGS has a little bit amount of each profile you describe.
I just learned to live with it, fortunately i have my own play group, we like to net-deck sometimes, we like to brew our own recipes as well. if by any chance i get to play against some of those who dislike my deck, i just play my game, try to ignore their toxic comments, fill up the game report sheet, gg him/her and that's it.
Mortis, Holy ExorcistWW
Legendary Creature - Human Cleric
you may cast ~ as thought it has Flash if a creature died this turn.
When ~ enters the battlefield, exile target spirit.
2/1
Driegon, The Crowd Favorite 1RRR
Legendary Creature - Cat Barbarian
First Strike, Haste, Provoke R: ~ gets +1/+0 until the end of turn I will win the crowd. I will give them something they have never seen before
3/1
Tribal Sorcery

other cards in the deck included Phyrexian Bloodstock and Barbarian Outcast, hell the art back on those days was great!

just my two cents.
Keep up the good work on the Innistrad ones, looking forward to see it finished.

Horror cards now are Abomination of Gudul or Nighthowler which does not bring the "Horror" and Nightmarish feeling.
as well, i miss cards like Blistering Firecat, Ancient Ooze and Silvos, Rogue Elemental. Cars that showed some realism, however they does not look like plastic.
