Heartbeat of Spring.

Description of deck by it's author (quoted):
The most famous of "Everyone Benefits" enchantments is Mana Flare. However, no one trusts all those mountains, as basic math indicates this is bad.

Mana Flare + Mountains = X Spell
Mana Flare + X Spell = I was stupid and I let you kill me

However, Champions of Kamigawa was kind enough to continue with its repair of the color wheel by providing us with Heartbeat of Spring. Without sources of red, people do not fear the Mana Flare as much, especially as they will benefit from it first. In a multiplayer game, a turn 3 Heartbeat of Spring should not cost you the game – barring that one dork playing any variant of the Tolarian Academy/Mind over Matter deck who now fires off a Time Spiral (but hey, you wanted a reason to kick him back to the Pokemon tables anyway).

The inherent trick is utilizing the Heartbeat of Spring to win you the game. Keeping in mind the nature of Kamigawa, and in homage to the Pro Tour: Philadelphia, here’s a deck that won’t be showing up at a table one near you anytime soon.

The premise is simple: accelerate, play big fatty, dominate. When playing multiplayer, people tend not to have a problem losing to fatties — plus, Green and White don’t scream "threat." Usually, in my multiplayer group, the targeted colors are Blue, Black, and then Red. White and Green have a very soothing effect, plus having seven indestructible creatures doesn’t hurt. These creatures can also be fed to the shoals until you can set up, and the Hana Kami helps facilitate reach acceleration and feeds Oyobi.
