  Wacko
Jacko.
Description of deck by its author (quoted):
 The name Wacko Jacko was only a pun for the
deck, developing from the fact that Wicked Akuba can easily shorten to
WAK, and the Black/White nature of the deck furnished the Jacko half,
referencing a certain "King of Pop" who is confused amount more than
just his racial orientation.
Anyway, the deck was White to begin with, turned Black,
then became almost all Black, but kept delving back into White. Thus, the
Michael Jackson joke came out at 3AM and soon it was the name of the deck.
I never thought it would cause quite the stir it did
though, talking about the deck, and not providing a decklist. Plenty of
people speculated about what the deck was, saying it was a new Shrine
decklist, or a new Kiki-Jiki/Intruder Alarm combo list, or a plethora of
other things. It's funny how things went and I admit, I enjoyed the
anticipation.
Let me put it this way, when you look at the decklist,
you will laugh and think "Why waste should I waste my time?" A lot of
people have already said that to me. Heck, I even thought similarly. Then
I tried the deck and it ran so well (like a mix of old school Sligh and
Stompy), that I had to pay attention.
We tried it versus Ravager Affinity, the format's most
hated deck, and it proved to have more game then we ever could of
imagined. While this isn't the best deck ever versus Affinity, I have had
an immense amount of luck versus Affinity within my testing and I would
conclude that it is a nice matchup.
Here is the biggest key to the deck though: no one knows
about, no one has played against it, no one has tested with it, and no one
expects it. Even after you start playing, they can't figure it out and
think you are just playing some sort of precon deck or something.
Here is the current decklist, I wrote a small little
article for today, just so you can see what it is, to know what I and
maybe others are talking about and maybe... to see the strengths in the
deck. I hope to be making a Top 8 with my deck at my State Championships
in Vermont.
The sideboard will be situational for your place and
location if you decide to run it. Things like Cranial Extraction, Circle
of Protection: Red, Ivory Mask, Sacred Ground, Ghostly Prison, Persecute,
Terror, Night of Souls Betrayal, and others are included in the available
options, with plenty of other possibilities to boot. One thing that makes
the most sense is more Horobis and Relic Barriers, blowing up every
artifact you can, while attacking with your flying brigade.
